....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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
