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

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
