Ok with the increasing bullshit with Police blitzing I want to diagnose my exhaust Db myself and keep the device in my glove box.

Should I ever be unlucky and be pulled over for inspection I am going to video the Police and record all their suspicions for perusal for my lawyer.

I will insist on an on the spot test with my device to illustrate my awareness.

I hope the Police will encourage my actions.

What is the distance for the microphone off the exhaust outlet.

I've read 1 metre, 525mm,... seems to be no constant clear instruction.

How does the government expect us to conform with laws that aren't clearly stated.

Anyway,

I'm one not to back down.

I'm 43 years old , have spent probably $43000 on my car, and will not quietly cage it.

I've had my car since 2001 and haven't one infringement.

So far I've been left alone and I respect the Police for that.

I don't want that to change.

There it is..

Last time I checked, it was 1m, at 45degrees of the exhaust tip.

Unfortunately, I suspect police will think along the lines of, "yeah, use HIS gauge, pfft, he must have tampered with it."

Hope this helps.

It wont make any difference what you spend. You dont even hve to be stopped to be directed to the DECC. Notices can be mailed to you after Police, Council, or even a member of the public contacts the DECC. They send you a notice of directed inspection and you front up or cop a fine.

If you are stopped and it is a case that they believe your vehicle is loud etc, then it is merely that. They dont have to be experts or carry the equipment. That is what a defect notice or DECC notice is for. To send you to an expert who has the testing equipment. In the end the actual testing criteria is very strict and depends on aa lot of factors that most people gernerally wouldnt kno or be able to test for. Simply put it is 90db for a new car and 96 or an old one.

Why dont you just contact the DECC for the detail and even book it in for a test.

You could even spend less by reading this document from the DECC.

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
