Hey guys, got defected last night after a dinner with family in seven hills/prospect hwy, had some kind of operation last night hwy patrols up and down doing laps, anyways got done for bald tyres, loud exhaust, pod, and 60mm off the ground, says i need to get a "pink slip" and only gave me 24hrs to clear it and today is sunday so basically nothings open. is it possible to call up rta/rms to give me a week to sort stuff out? i need to drive the car tomoro to work so im not sure if i should just risk driving to work then calling them when they open tomorrow?

any help would be great,

Thanks

Tam.

After speaking with a few cops the length of time they give will vary from none, to 3 weeks (maximum).

A lot of it comes down to how many idiots have given them lip, and how you speak to them. If you found that after you spoke the copper was a touch more firm/angry in his response you were most likely coming across quite defensive (in a bad way) or aggressive towards them.

Also depends on what you've been booked for in the past.

The popo's were on a cruise. Taken from another thread:

OT, that's a joke, 24 hours to fix?

Seriously

How can they defect cars when they don't even know what bits are what

I had a HWP pull me over and pop my bonnet, he knew exactly what to look for. This is the reason why I didn't go to TopGear. A whole bunch of defects going to one place is bound to be a killing zone for defects.

They didnt seem to be targetting imports at Top Gear, i saw a heap of cars pulled over around the weekend but not one was a modified import.... The cops were mainly directing traffic and were quite polite :)

Of course i was driving a Golf so i was stress free for a change lol

Hey the cops pulled me over yesterday, in my work. and actually were not to bad they said If I be a smart ass they would defect me, so I said I'm not be smart I'm just saying u guys will make me look bad to my boss pulling me up in work and he said shut up then checked my license and let me go. I think it depends what cop you get! And I had a blown out headlight and they let me go. How cool is that?

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
