maybe the steering-wheel defect was due to removing an airbag wheel to fit it. probably wasn't anything to do with what it was made of

unless 'woodgrain' referred to a short length of 4x2 attached to the top of the steering column :D

The SA Transport website has a lot of information about what is and isnt allowed (steering wheels, tint, exhaust, ride height), etc.

Also see the 'defect' thread in the SA area for specific questions (there's a lot of information in there already). It generally isn't too hard to keep your car legal, even in SA where they're a little more strict than other states.

Hi guys, check my R33 GTS sedan, ive just put up heaps of pics of recent changes ive made to it including legal front daytime driving lights. The thing is they have to be white, facing foward of the car and emit no more than 18W of power. have fun with this mod it looks pretty sweet:)

What do you guys think??

i think you want an Audi

Careful of those 'white' LEDs - Regency made me remove mine claiming they were 'too blue' .. (yours definitely seem to have hints of blue in them..)

Here are mine in the evening

http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b258/EMZ...nt=005f4ce5.jpg

same colour at the parking lights and ive had them on for 5 years now and no probs or looks from the police. I think you an buy diffeent types of these LED strips of ebay and just have to be carefull not to get the supposed "white LEDs" from china. Ive found buying from an australian seller more than often gives you a better chance of gettnig a true white colour

Thanks for the heads up though. Also i have them on a seperate toggle switch to the parkers, which for true daytime driving lights they need to be a seperate unit.

Have a good one guys

yea man. wtf is your car crying? bad fuel? rough ride?

well? what is it?

Its actully a very happy minded car haha!

good economy, sweet sound and the LEDs look very classy during the day, i do get its an aquired taste but you dont need knock it cause its different.

at the end of the day, its up to the 'officers discretion'. if they think its defect material they can send you to regency. thats what i've learnt from experience, really sucks though because there is so much you can do to make your car look nice, but it also attracts the wrong attention.

Your spot on!

When i got pulled over for my led lights( were blue at the time, now changed to white), there were two officers, one younger cadette and an old school full grey beard officer. The young officer was commenting how tidy the car was and how good condition it was in for a 1994 car. I told him that i look after and treat it nicelly. The other officer just looked at me and coninued to comb the entire car for defects!

so yeah nice to look at, but at the same time im getting tired of being look at by the wrong people haha!

In syd, my friend got a ticket for not having water in his wiper reserve tank !!!

there are ways around mods though,

you can hide things like turbos, ecu, BOVs, best place for a BOV is under a fender. I think people usually get booked when an officer has lots of shiny things to look at. Shiney stainless steel piping, blue silicon hoses are a good sign of something else sleeping under the bonnet.

To be honet, i much prefer the stealth look, i have black intercooler piping, black BOV, black Boost controller, ecu is hidden, BOV is under fender, black runners surrounded by black heat sheild,

next thing on the list, black rocker cover. Its still all there, but its not staring you in the face is all im saying.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
