what about adding a more restrictive exhaust?

or maybe a boost restrictor and lower the boost to like 5 or 6psi?

call vic roads tomorow morning... tell them this car is the only means of transport for you to get to work/school and that you cannot sell it blah blah sob sob and if theres anything u can do to make it comply

Hmm... 6kw is some random guess if you ask me...

187kw

1360kg

= 137.5kw/tonne

Send akeenan a PM, he's in japan, but got some engineering certificate for a restrictive air box, which brought the power down. Altho the value of the cert. and the benefit to the car (restrictive airbox) was in question. Not sure if even a cert. was ok, but i think andrew got by with it fine. And the air box mod thingy was easy to take in and out as far as i can recall.

This doesn't sound good if the po po are actually enforcing this, as they've seem to have let it slip so far. I'm still gonna have about 9 months of P's left when i get my R34 :( And that's definitely over. What are the restrictions now that you've been pulled over for it?

I think they go off factory specs, so even if you detuened it, they wouldn't care....

first time i've heard of anyone being done for this!

but if thats the case then you could buy a lesser powered engine and do uber amounts of mods and it would be legal (providing the mods were legal of course) which doesnt make sense.

yeah, that's the stupid thing. Might have say... R33 GTS, throw a RB26DETT in, get the engineer ok, you're laughing. The car is registered as a non-turbo R33, easily under power to weight.

well for my car its 125kw/tonne right, so factory specs are 184kw/1398kg, which means its roughly 131kw/tonne...makes me bout 6kw over =(

btw inark, my car is TOTALLY standard, no exhaust no nothing! i could reduce the boost a bit, but if will they accecpt that is the question

ferni: true, no points, but if i get done again (according to the cop) i will get a bigger fine, and more demerit points, or if they feel im doing it on purpose take me to court

cop ALSO told me the ONLY cars (performance wise) i could drive are a ca18 180sx/silvia auto, NA r33, and some other dodge one i cant remember.

I think they go off factory specs, so even if you detuened it, they wouldn't care....

they go off factory specs ya, but if i detune it a lil (eg. restrict the boost) to make it legal, will they accecpt it? thats wat im askin :(

in the end it comes down to the cars actual power output. this is what one of the staff members at kamikaze argued to me. although it normally/easily goes off the factory specs, if the argument got serious, like going to court over it you would get the cars real kW rating. where does it say what method you should get the kw figure?

also, even though this doesn't help, car companies sometimes publish lower output figures in their books to keep the government happy*

ahah yeah i got done at knox, i didn't get hiz name, its on the fine though :)

is he the tight one? coz he was REALLY nice.....about giving me a fine, and he explained the whole bov thing to me and all that stuff (i got epa'd for atmo bov and asked him to explain why)

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
