Was driving through the city last night (La Trobe) and got pulled over for a *random* (my arse - the cop came up the tram lines to over take all the cars behind me especially to pull me over) license and breath test.

He got bored while he waited and got defected for bald tires :cheers: He didnt pop my bonnet thankfully, but looked inside, and said that my boost guage was ok (mounted on steering column) and my razo knob was ok cos I had the shift pattern sticker next to it.

Anyway, theres nothing about paying a fine - but do i need to pay to get it cleared at VicRoads?

hehe dave... thats nothing to worry about. as stated u just need to get the tyres replaced and while ur there tell the guy u had a defect for it... probably give u a slip of some sort for u to take to VicRoads... or they will just come outside and take a look when ur at vic roads... no need for a full RWC.

Yellow defect - need to present my car to vicroads and have all 4 tires cleared. Been on the tread markers for about 500km now and been planning on replacing them any way. Rego is due on the same day as the defect thing, so do that at the same time.

So if anyone has 215/16 tires for a good price :D - i may just change wheels if i dont find tires.

haha it had to happen sooner or later.

U dont even need to take the car to vic roads, just take a receipt showing the purchase of the new tyres and vicroads will clear it for you. If they ask to see the car tell them you were told not to drive the car until the sticker was cleared. Vicroads are so busy especially if u go in abount 12.30pm they dont have any spare time so they will just pass you.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
