Hey guys, anyone watch the 7:30 news tonight on channel 9? Police are starting 'Operation Kilowatts' from tomorrow to defect loud and modified cars. If they happen to pull you over, it's an RBT and then a full inspection of your vehicle. After it has been inspected you are told to follow them to a private/Inspection garage for further testing. It just keeps getting harder in NSW. After i watched it, my car won't be leaving my drive way till next week.

I will refrain from adding my true opinion on this

Time to engineer the car and make it all legit so I can then smile as I hand the paper over

and get told, that it doesnt matter, go to the inspection station, and pay up anyway.....

Lol yep exactly wonder how many Harley Davidsons they pull over wouldnt be 1 left on the road if they are busting noisey cars? I am all for getting dodgey back yard jobs off the road and any other death traps but fairs fair if you have gone to the trouble of engineering your car that should be all a cop needs to see & i also believe that the police should have adequate training to enforce these rules and not a personal discretion as to whether your car is legitimately roadworthy or not

Yeah that red headed clown that runs the place needed to get the money for her $90000 a year pay increase from somewhere! And since she is in bed with the greenies because they put her in her position of power what better place to start? Car enthusiasts!

government is poor again after all the tax money we pay

"A Current Affair catches out the rev-heads and hoons as their suped-up cars are taken off the roads".

Surely they get a kick back...

Sensationalism at it's very best

This is so frustrating. Who do they think they are to pick on people and take their hard earned cash away if the car isn't a dangerous vehicle? It's ridiculous how they deem certain things dangerous.

Aca need shooting hoons are hoons not car enthusiasts! stereotyping genuine car enthusiasts under the banner of hoons is ludicrous! notice all the owners of these vehicles were fully hectic except for sweet cheeks driving the "blue subaru" was that story edited that way on purpose? in my opinion most genuine car enthusiasts will have the safest and most highly maintained vehicles on the road. Being defected because your horn is too loud?! PFFFFFT please!

You know what....we can get the shits as much as we like, but this stuff is here to stay.

Unengineered mods are illegal. engineering is about to be tightened up. it is good PR for the cops (overall) to get "hoons" off the streets.

These are all facts that are not about to change.

Personally it shits me because I enjoy a lightly modded car on the street, but the government and most public opinion is not on my side.

So, plumb back those external wastegates, put the factory airbox back on, put a cat in.....and go and do your hooning on a skidpan or racetrack somewhere, like the $50 event SAU is holding in a couple of weeks.

The big problem is that people with engineered mods still get defected.....

This makes me sad....party poopers

Hot dang it might just be time to buy my legnum back....debadge and add a magna badge.

Sleepers will eventually get real popular. Plus stealthy mods, small turbo upgrades and low mounts with factory heat shields etc. I know they already are but even more so soon

I was unfortunate enough to get caugh up in the middle of all this bs while on my way to Maroubra in my GTR. Fortunately enough I got pulled over into the RBT before any of these ACA w*nkers turned up to add more fuel to the fire.

Was told my exhaust was "too loud" and I had exposed pods however I did have my standard intake lying around in my boot and made it clear to the office that I had every intention of fitting it back on as I've spent way too much money on the vehicle to be paying fines and I have every intention of obiding by the law.

I guess i must have stood out from all the previous tools the officer had dealt with that day as I treated him with respect and he returned it back - he did although call my Nismo Ne-1 exhaust a "milo tin can" lol. He didnt refer me to the pits nor issue me a defect or fine and instead advised me to "go home because there's plenty of us out tonight and you will be issued a defect if you get pulled over again".

I'm still all for getting harleys off the road

at my last workplace, when a harley would go past and i was out the BACK of the shop talking to customers on the phone, I had to ask them to hold on until it was gone past because I couldn't hear a damn thing

vs a loud v8 that's annoying but not ear-splittingly so

as said in south park

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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
