Far out Sydney has gotten bad. Can't even drive your car around down there anymore.

Gotta be stressing to drive anywhere near Sydney now. We don't have these issues on the coast..... Yet!!

They hammered Newcastle for a while so i dont go there anymore, we used to have a whole bunch of imports on the foreshore every weekend until a bunch of Hockey Pucks in commodores started doing burnouts etc so the cops got the sh*ts and hammered every car with defects possible, funnily enough all the imports were generally parked and not doing cruise laps :dry:

they don't give my car a 2nd look.

if your car is very flashy and loud you are asking them to look at you in the first place, then you get angry that they do look at you.

My car is stock looking and sounding and i seem to get away without a drama since the new turbo etc BUT i am yet to be breath tested and stuff in it..... i swear its stock officer :ph34r:

It has only got that way due to some idiots behaving badly in public places, getting the media all hyped up :domokun:

I miss cruising Newcastle beaches etc, but it has now been ruined by morons! :rant:

The thing is if there is a defect station at bondi for example, there atleast 10cop cars driving around like flys stopping any car that looks "sporty"

Hell my mates bog stock r32 gtr got pulled over and told to follow them to the defect station

Gotta stay away from bondi/Brighton/city

Worst thing is you walk through carparks and see all the cars with bald tyres, rust holes and all sorts of messed up stuff, not one would be pulled over for EPA or Defects like we get targeted... And most people modify their imports for improvement in handling and braking etc.... It's a crap system!

Yeah had this argument with a cop. They are just a bunch of absolute morons.. They are quick to defect an import and pull all stops to get you, but when you've been rolled bashed robbed and bleeding they will deal with you when they can be bothered and end up telling you there is nothing they can do. But have a modified car its like your killing babies. Arseholes. I let them know it to.. doesnt do much but makes me feel better getting it off my chest.

I don't think giving them attitude helps, they have enough assholes to deal with on a daily basis... I'll

Just play nice when the time comes, and then I guess try get it all passed the legit way

Hey guys sorry to resurrect the thread; didn't want to start a new one and couldn't find answers to everything.

I have been given a notice to go be tested. I know for a fact that I won't pass noise as is. I have a few questions:

-Will they defect my atmo BoV? i know they will if they find it but do they look for that?

-Should I weld in my silencer? I have a feeling it still won't be quiet enough.

-Are there any mufflers out there that maintain decent performance while keeping under the legal limit of noise?

-How do they test for noise? how far back from the car is the soundmeter and is the test done outdoors? Just curious because I happen to have a soundmeter and would like to test on my own for a general idea

I read on the EPA website that there are fines (up to $400) for selling a car that doesn't meet the standards, I was sold this car with a shitty atmo BoV and this crappy loud-as-f**k muffler. I bought the car about 8 weeks ago and haven't done a blue-slip yet (interstate purchase). Does the previous owner have any responsibility here?

If anyone could shed some light here it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
