Yeah well he wanted to have a go about my rear windows bein tinted n I told him its factory uv cut glass fitted in japan not tint and it was complied with it in 08 and 12months ago reregistered with it n he all he said back was "well whats legal in japan is different to australia." But I know there looking for things to make life difficult but I asked him if hid's were legal and he goes yeah just have to get permits I was like yup you have no idea :) cause i know for a fact if they arent in projector headlights with self leveling they arent legal so I know there just taking th piss

i know this aint going to help but at the end of the day they will win. . .the coppers can even defect you for worn windscreen wipers and no water in the windscreen washer bottle

Yep. Someone I know got done for a 'dusty indicator globe'.

i was done on the rising sunday for the guards didnt raise my car or anything and just went to the pits and they passed me the cops are just being dicks and picking on us

Doesn't mean the cops are being dicks. Means you got off easy. I've passed the pits with things that are clearly illegal. It depends who you get on the day. Just because the inspector passes you doesn't mean your car is legal.

Martin stfu you're being inflammatory.

Stop it.

The police are not ignorant, they know what the laws are, they're simply doing whatever it takes to see how far and who they can push, they're getting runs on te board for the extra biscuit at the end of the month...

As for recording - it is completely LEGAL providing that You tell them straight up that you're recording everything. The police are allowed to say no IF they wish to leave you alone,

Basically if they refuse to be recorded, they're not legally allowed to have any further discussion with you. Police are allowed to be recorded in this state and personally I recommend you all to do it.

they make our lives difficult and belittle us. Why not do it back to them?

Anyway, this particular subject has been done to death. Greg I'm sorry to hear man, I would probably be taking the issue up with the officers station to make a complaint. But yeah, you now need to take time off your day / off work and pay some shmuck organization to pay for a service you never requested.

Furthermore, Martin you said "it depends who you get on the day"

^^ this is the biggest load of shit ever, like yes you're right. But it just further cements that no dealing with this system are consistent at all,

I mean what. Depends on who you get on the day that decides what is and isn't legal? I thought the law was a book that clearly dictates laws and cannot be f**ked with. Huh.

I mean Joe at the pits can pass your car HE says as legal then officer harvey can pull you over around the corner for having what HE says is unsafe distance between tyre and guards???

It's bullshit. He said this he said that bullshit. "legal" has nothing to do with it

Yeh not true. My mate got in a lot of trouble for recording a conversation with a police officer. What's more, when he took them to court, his recorded evidence was dismissed as it was 'not acquired lawfully'.

law states as long as you are part of the conversation, you ARE ALLOWED to record the convo!

my soarer passed the pits when it got regoed, i had 8.5" rears (jzs147 aristo rears) 7" being the limit on the soarers, and a computer for adjusting the stock air suspension, told them the air suspension was factory, didnt care bout the controller, didnt look at the wheels, bam plates on it driving home!!

wat if its done safely, even if its illegal, 9/10 times theyll let it fly!!

Nope the law stats that you need to have a spare tyre at all time's.... run flats in WA are not a way to get around our ancient laws...

I believe you are mistaken:

"You are not obliged to carry a spare and it does not have to comply with the legal requirements while it is stowed away. However, when fitted to the vehicle (for example, following a puncture) it must then comply with the law."

Rowan, I agree with you man. I'm simply being realistic.

Rowan, I agree with you man. I'm simply being realistic.

Will they say anything about turbo flutter?

Probably not, but if they know what they are talking about then they would know that flutter makes your car run rich, hence increasing emissions. I doubt it though.

If they ask, just say you ran over a pigeon on the way there and it might still be stuck somewhere.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
