imagine sticking neon lights up your arse. you wouldn't like it would you? :?[/quote:ac6fa7b417]

Atleast it would help clients find their way ..... maybe it's the lack of a neon sign that you could attribute the lack of business to :wink:

Certainly are illegal. I have heard of them being hooked up to only be used when the doors are opened and alarm activated/deactivated (like the indicator blink).

They still seem a little bit of a wank, a cheaper option would be to tape a copy of fast and the furious to the underside of your car ...

Neons look wild although I would rather get a filthy big sticker saying

"Pull over my rolling UFO please mr policeman!"

You can see neons a mile away and they attract cops like no other!

Have you ever been pulled over cereal?[/quote:56d7b95029]

Nope. I've enevr been pulled over with or without my neons......

Although as I was going out on Saturday night I drove past a BIG RBT station facing the other way so I decided to be a wanker & let them hear my pod spooling up & BOV venting.......I got some evil looks. (I know it was a stupid thing to do, but I couldn't help it).

$250 fine on the spot for BOV and another $250 for pods....[/quote:25ae653ce1]

Since when are cops able to hand out fines for defects ? I questioned the RTA Techinical Enquiries on this and they advised that as it is something that can be done by mistake, although they can defect you for it, they certainly cannot turn it into a revenue raising operation.

so if somebody gets a defect notice for any reason they can't get a fine along with it?

as far as I know. Reason being they are only there to police the defect.

Remembering cops don't actually have to prove a defect, just think. If a cop pulls you over saying your ride is lower than 100mm, he doesn't have to test it or get a measure out, he can just defect it, same with loud exausts.

If on this basis, if they were then allowed to fine you, it would be ludacris. Imagine a cop fines you for having your ride too low, you then go and get it checked an an inspection station and turns out the cops eyes were out an he has no idea.

You just cop the fine ? I think not.

or what if they fine you, defect you, and you don't get the defect cleared within the given time, not only would you have been fined but also lost your rego. Bit harsh eh.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has been fined for a defect :!:

To my expert knowledge being a defect yeilding veteran, they CAN fine if the defect is defined by the EPA or RTA. thus $250 on the spot fine for pod or BOV. I have been fined $250 for my exhaust and defected in a defect station for being 108db.

If a cop tries to fine you for wheels ( dont laugh it happens) or gauges etc they are not legally able to.

only defects concerning environmental / noise pollution carry fines.

i've been fined for a defect....i forget how much it was though. i was defected for bald tyres. they also tried to fine me for having a hat thing from the side of the road in my car, and they also tried to fine me for not having a wheel brace in the car. this whole saga took them about 30mins and 3 cop cars to sort out. man was i pissed off after this. to add to it, they also tried to get me for supplying alcohol to minors who were in the car but they couldn't prove it.

as you could imagine i love cops now.

Thnx for clearing that up then. What about in the case of atmo venting / plumbed back .... do they even know the difference or do they just look, see a BOV and fine you ?

Also in the case of a pod filter, I've seen people partition these off on the side and top to stop hot air from the engine getting in, do you think the cops would notice the bov in this case ? Would it class as a cold air box ?

I was of was informed you could get an engineers cert to cover your POD ? and obviously you could have your exhaust on there too. What about an atmo venting bov ? is there any way to make them legal ?

As for the bald tyre defect .... hmmm, but certainly having a witches hat in your car is not an offence as you can actually legally by these for your personal use, I'm not sure what these cops were smoking .... and not having a wheel brace in the car a defect :P You don't legally have to carry a spare tyre, let alone a wheel brace. You should have told them they were lucky you didn't have one, because the way you were feeling the less weapons the better :wink:

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      My BMW 335i

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
