Some say that Pettett can sense a hidden boost controller in a car from 1 km away!

you fail at Stig style intros. Its "Some say <blah>, and that <blah>, all we know is that he's called <blah>."

And he has been known to use jedi mind tricks to put words in the mouths of offenders

"The injectors are not stock", "The injectors are not stock", "I'm going to have to report you to the EPA"

But seriously, Pettett is a good cop. Be respectful, do the right thing and he will not have a problem with you. I don't have a worry in the world if he pulls me over again.

I would have to agree, he is pretty tough though! He just knows his stuff and you can't trick him. i'm sure he is getting a good laugh out of this tread for sure

Ah I don't think anyone's really having a serious go at him or we'd shut this baby down. It's more a bit of fun. Yeah he's typically quite good in the run in's I had with him.....all except that one time. Perhaps he was hungry or missing his Mummy. Ah well we all have our bitchy days.

I accept that challenge. Autograph will be forthcoming.

not as much of a challenge when you pull up in a Audi :) ... like to see you attempt it in an import!

Some say he can test emissions by sense of smell alone and that he once gave so many defects all the printers in Melbourne ran out of yellow ink

Not bad, i can see this thread turning into more of these posts ^

I heard he defected his toaster because it was too shiny and sat too low to the bench. And that he fined his plumber for running water piping through a load bearing wall in his house. And that he gave his son an R/C car for Christmas but defected it shortly after, denying him his pocket money that week to simulate the thrill of getting a roadworthy.

And you know that ringing sound you hear in your ears when everything is dead quiet and you listen real carefully? That's the sound of him applying stickers to import windscreens...of course this happens so fast and often that it's more like a constant buzz.

Haha too funny

errrr i wasn't doing any "style", can't fail at something i wasn't even attempting.. oh but my comment was funnier than yours anyway :)86440247.FOY097Qu.fingers2.gif

haha zing hamish!

some say that pettett can defect a Skyline just by visualising it in his head, and that his badge is made out of the metal of crushed Skylines.

p.s I dare any of you kents to head down to Knox TMU and ask the man for his autograph ;P

i would do it. with a polaroid and everything.

im dead serious

Lol only experience i had with pettett was in 2003/4. Got defected for boost controller and hole cut in chasis for intercooler pipes. Went and got an engineers, looked at the hole and had 0 problems with it. Passed full epa inspection with a gt2540 and a chipped ecu. Too bad its a lot harder these days

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
