The central point being EPA HQ carpark?

I don't have any helpful suggestions unfortunately mate, but the EPA should have on record the details of the officer who reported you. It may take some getting to the bottom of it, but someone had to

this is how they handle simple traffic / car related issues imagine how they handle complex issues such as 40yrs+ of soil and water pollution at tullamarine / westmeadows and aircraft noise issues ar

Can we cut out the useless Asian jokes? There were some valid commentary and extremely good points raised. Funny posts regarding EPA carpark dobbing which I'm all for to give those in the system a taste of their own.

But if you insist on the race jokes why don't we just move on and make some comments about Africans. Greek? No Italian. I'm not sure it's hard to make up my mind since there's Afghans, Jews, and half-casts in between. I'm a bit spoilt for choice but I guess that's one of the privileges I have living in a multi-cultural society.

Don't forget ur mum either....

Equestria. Why the long face?

Lmao. Nice one Basti, tactfully done. Apologies if i'm quick with the trigger. Last fortnight I did humanity an injustice because I kept silent so as to be 'agreeable' to a group of people i just met. But that's my problem. Cheers.

Bit of an update:

Got home and was greeted with a letter from EPA and thought "Cool, maybe they've grown some logic and are withdrawing the original test notice".

Low and behold, what I read disgustted me. Basically, the letter read "The time of 2:22pm should read 4:20pm".

Now, this is the part that annoys me because in my email, I outlined to them my exact movements and what time. They basically taken note of what I wrote to them and then changed the time of apparent infringement to suit them!!

Obviously I was in the area at the time of 4:45pm (DUH! I wrote to you in the email saying I was there!) BUT not even close to the road/time I was apparently spotted on!

My faith in EPA has well and truly been lost. "Disgraceful" is the only word I can think, knowing they are more than willing to pull off a stunt like changing times around AFTER I emailed them with my location/wehereabouts.

Does the report say the name of the officer who reported you?

If so, go to the station and ask if you can talk to them, or organise a time to speak to them....

Then say "This report says that I was here at 2:22pm, is it possible that you've gotten the time wrong, because I wasn't even in this part of melbourne at the time."

He'll of course say "No, that is correct, I spotted you at 2:22pm at xxxxxxx", reading back the details of the first report.

Boom, conflicting information, and a bullshit "amendment" from EPA...

Will be enough to get it cancelled.

Nope, no name. I've tried since day one to get the name of reporting officer so I could have a chat to him and see where the error has occured. Unfortunatly, EPA continue to withhold the name of the officer for some reason or another.

If I was able to get the officer's name, I would no doubt follow the path you mentioned as the two conflicting stories will raise alarm bells. Hopefully the officer isn't in on it also. EPA = Untrustworthy!

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
