My old 33 didn't have one in the 4 1/2 years I owned it & I didn't have any issues, I just left it idling while I sorted my shiz

+1

My car doesn't have one & haven't had any engine related problems with the 2.5 years I owned it. I use my watch for the 15 to 30secs timing :P

i think the reason its illegal is because it is then an insurance liability, walk away with it on someone jumps in you claim...all coz ur silly, that way it being illegal you cant claim= same money for insurers... im just assuming here

Rest assured your assumption is incorrect. Have you ever tried to turn your steering wheel without the key in the ignition? Doesn't turn very far does it... good ole steering lock

I've often wondered about the underlying issue though as from what I remember there are certain turbo diesel 4x4's etc which actually have turbo timers from factory. My turbo timer is an integral part of my immobilizer, and one of my buttons on my remote turns the motor off by remote. A lot of grey area here indeed.

Front facing vents that aren't factory fitted need to pass criteria, and CAN be illegal.

Same with mascots, bonnet pins, etc ... anything that could be dangerous to somebody if they were hit by your rice rocket.

Guys, read the ADRs and VSB documents - don't just take a stab in the dark and dribble shit. This is why you all get yellow stickers.

Yet you still see 4x4's and utes with massive steel gates on the front.

If they are supposed to stop the car getting damaged by cattle and roos, what are they gonna do to pedestrians etc.

But I guess it's ok since they are not carbon fibre right? lol

Like I said...criteria...go and do some reading.

Let me do it for you.

Start here:

-> BODY MODIFICATIONS

--> SECTION 4.1 + 4.2 (BONNET SCOOTS AND PROJECTIONS + BONNET PINS + MASCOTS)

I'm amazed the old WRXs arent illegal considering that writeup. They look like shit and are dangerous to both driver and the poor people they hit.

Hahahaha how many F*CKING DEFECT TOPICS DOES THERE NEED TO BE!!?!?!?11???

Seriously, all of you just stfu about it. c*nt got defected because his car has defects. yeah, cops were douches to him. cops are douches to all young people with more-than-a-getz-spec performance...

except for cefiro drivers. because we're f*cking awesome like Sam Elliott.

Yeah they look retarded but so do WRX's anyway. :)

Apparently they need them 'cos of the top mounted intercooler though?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
