....but the battery comes like that stock. the vent to atmosphere is in the lower right of your boot (as you look towards the front of the car standing behind it). it's below the little shelf. a bit hard to explain but it's there. You should be able to fight that one.

That's pretty damn picky dude.

yeap got defected on the way to dinner at bondi beach

has anyone had a defect on:

1. battery in boot not vented to atmosphere

2. tyre placard not fitted/ missing

what a waste of a hour and a half waiting

Nice....they were keen to nail you for something.

Do you know who complied the car? They should have provided a tyre placard, and can confirm that thesee cars came factory with battery in the boot

I think the original batterys had a hose that connected to the battery, like a motorbike battery, thats what the NRMA battery guy said to me anyways, you cannot get them anymore, when I got my car engineered he wasnt worried about it, though by rights you need a box which vents or a dry cell, either way its a dud cop with the amount of unroadworthy vehicles on the road.

Copper's Wife: "Oh how was your day to-day darling?"

Copper: "Aw, Um, ...defected about 10 cars"

Wife: "Well, I can put you to more use around here then!"

AND NEXT EVENING...

Copper's Kid: "Catch any crooks to-day Dad?"

Copper: "Well I defected 10 cars to-day son."

Kid: "Defectors are bad aren't they Dad?"

AND NEXT DAY...

Copper is on stress leave!

I remember someone here in NSW got defected for an enclosed pod filter. The cops excuse was that it wasn't sealed off. That is brilliant. You've got an intake kit that you want to put into a sealed box. I should get a job in a fast food chain and when a cop comes in jam a cork into the bottom of the straw. Yeah, its fun sucking drink through a sealed straw, isnt it.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
