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

This is why China is an autocracy...it's just cheaper for you guys to let someone take over and you're too tight ass to do anything about it.

Same thing will happen here. We don't stand up to these fines and bullshit; we won't be standing up to bigger threats to our basic rights.

F*ck that, I don't have a concession card. I'm already pissed off about having to pay $41 for a noise test, let alone another $10 to catch a tram to EPA headquaters.

you're asian and you dont even know the art of fare evasion?

hold myki in hand, be vigilant, tap when you spot those kents outside.

nailed it.

Ha, you guys are amateurs. Before MYKI came in, it was a case of "Oh, me solly. Me no spick engleesh" whenever the inspectors came around. If you were a white caucasian male, probably wouldn't of worked. But because I'm an white caucasian male trapped in an asians body, it's very believable.

As soon as the inspector gets off the train, I'd be like "Damn flamin' snake in the grass, that was a close one mate. Ol' bugger almost ad' me"

I don't often laugh out loud.

But when I do, my coffee dribbles down my chin and I have to go get paper towel to clean my desk :(

the amazing thing about myki is you can go to the CBD without touching-on, attempting to touch-off through the gate and when it doesnt work, go up to the person supervising and say its not working and they will (no questions asked) let you through. done it twice now. especially effective at peak hour when theres a queue.

Sorry, back on topic. Are we EPAing government vehicles yet?

No, we're not because that's a stupid idea....

False reports to combat false reports is disadvantageous to our goal... A review of the Guilty until Proven Innocent, even WITH evidence to the contrary, system that they're running.

EPA staff carpark dobbing IS STILL ON! Won't do it for a while yet though, cos I noticed the other day there was a "Anonymous" viewer of this thread. EPA is watching.....

Ahhh my friend, you have plenty to learn.

You keep stringing it out for as long as possible and make it difficult for them to communicate with you to the point they drop a racist remark thinking you won't understand and then BOOM!!! You drop the accent and now you've got the mofo on the defence.

Long story short: he apologises, you nark up, he decides to drop the fine if you promise to not report him, EPA HQ blows up. Everyone wins. The End.

(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!

Ah see you told them TOO much. As with all negotiation and Govt body related - Only say what you need to.

Should've just given them proof about the 2-2.30pm part and left it at that. THEN play the next card if they made up another "approximation".

Still though - you are entitled to see who it was that made the report, and the paperwork associated under freedom of information.

I'd write another letter if you were NOT in the area at the said time, outlining it all and have a quick look at some freedom of information. Hell even put it in the letter they provide the proof of the report, as they are legally required to do

Unfortunatley for them, I dress up undercover occasionally too............ as an asian village fisherman ;)

i concede. master.

You have been trained my son. Now go forth and unleash your fare-evading fury!

In hindsight, yeah I did give them too much information. But having said that, I would not have imagined a governing body like EPA to take advantage of that and stoop that low in order to get someone (an innocent someone too mind you) to do an exhaust noise test.

I have tried and tried and tried, but they simply refuse to give any further detail in regards to the incident. Sounds very suss, but not a massive amount I can at this stage.

You need to be more authoritative

If it is 'law' that they are required to hand over that information.

Then find the section reference. And quote it when they say no. If you tell them they are required by law, I'm sure shitting of their dacks or let me get my manager for you will ensue.

Police do it all the time with fines etc if they get details wrong, EPA doing the same comes as no surprise.

      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?
