* being black

what?

whoever that gets pinged with these retarded technicalities needs to eat a bag of dicks, they don't resort to pulling em out unless you give em attitude. Cos you know, it's such an intelligent idea to remind the copper that just pulled you over that he's wasting your time and his. That's gotta make his job feel that much better.

Not having a shifter pattern displayed.

There's a big debate around that, I've never found out if its actually illegal or not... but i started a thread on it ages ago.

I just searched and found it...read it...and it gave me lotsa lolz again!

i wasn't going to bother sharing here and get slapped again for it, but what they hey

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/298916-gear-shift-sticker/page__p__4970897#entry4970897

anyways, here's a pic of the overall product, looks ok...to me :/

SO CAN ANYBODY PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS A REAL RWC ITEM OR NOT??

Mate got done for not displaying his shift pattern after using an A/M gearknob on his MKIV Supra. He also got done for his car being "too low" when it was stock height (which was a good laugh)

Although most of the defects listed above seem pretty reasonable to me, it would seem absurd to have a couple of those defects and ONLY those and not others, eg bald tires, pod + cooler etc.

Got defected for the second time in 5 years owning an R34 and R32 GT-R. Out of all the things my car could have got defected for i got defected for having my wheels stick out of the arches (and only by millimeters) Sometimes the boys in blue just don't like you on the road, i normally get really great cops who you can sit and have a good chat with even if you have done something wrong. I have been lucky soo far and feel my time for a major ass whooping is around the corner! :D

Recently got mine done actually r33 gts-t when i brought it, the rwc that seller had done had ran out by 5 days and only driven about 20ks since the rwc... rofl had the tie rod ends done for the rwc... now because i got it melbourne and being from gippsland i was like ok dont worry about the rwc what could possibly be wrong with it since it had recently been done etc and i would get a rwc done locally ... rofl what a mistake i took to a local mechanic these pricks picked on intermediate brack lights not working ... rofl which did i f$%king checked and had some1 tailgate be on the way home to make sure... Brake fluid flush... which was funny considering it had the recently been done from the buyer which had the brakes replaced and rotors.. even seen receipt so obviously flushed less then 3 months ago rofl... windscreen which they said had little chips in it... WTF i couldnt see anything even godamn got a windscreen repair dude out who just laughed at me... and said wants wrong with it... then wiper blades!!! which were new haha..

Bullsh!t Roadworthy rules indeed

Oh and the end story was i took it back to the place which had done the rwc originally ... passed no problems... it had been tested twice there before... when the buyer had it...

http://www.pca.sa.gov.au/images/Complaint%20Form.pdf we have this in SA so if u get a PIG of cop who has done something you feel as though wasnt rigt u can have it dealt with.... but that said the SAPOL arent too bad as proved by the annual BSM Cruise, where from memory the last attendance was around 700 plus cars with only a handful of defects- with the police attending and helping. that said there are some real cops out there who will do anything to defect a roadworthy car, eg a mate getting deected because he didnt have a sticker inside his door displaying wheel and tyre sizes for the vehicle etc.. some rules iv never even heard o.. is it true u have to have foot wear on to drive?

I believe you don't actually have to have footwear but if you do it can't be thongs or sandals or something else that could slip off and potentially get under the pedals.

I'd imagine the Intelligent Quotient down at the Academy could be likened to that of an Avocado too.

Intelligence, genius.

no thongs? really? i drive with thongs all the time.

wrong kinda thongs.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
