and just a note to anyone that has been defected once... don't get done a second time... the epa are coming down hard on second offenders....

did you get done for noisy exhaust ? was it on showground road a few weeks ago ? did they direct you to go for inspection on the spot ? the trick is not to go if they ask you to .

tell them that you are in a hurry and make apointment to go some other time in the mean time you make sure your car will comply .

i was pulled over about a year ago and when they asked me to go around the corner for inspection i told them no i was in a hurry so they ask me to go another time and i fixed my exhaust ( put a flange with a few 15mm holes where the cat joins the the rear pipe )it worked great but no power

Yeap!!! noisy exhaust!!! actually got done at harrys 2/3 months ago.... and yeap... it was an rbt, and they then asked me to go around the corner to an epa/rta setup up where both parties went over my car with a fine tooth comb :thumbsup: If i'd know i could just drive away saying i was in a hurry, i would have! :)

I did get defected the same time last year, but i ended up changing everything back cause it was too restrictive! and then got done again! :(

Anyways... now i'm faced with a court appearance! : at least the car is now legal!

Which court are they taking you to? When is it listed? What is the listing for? ie; mention, hearing, pleading only. Give us the full charges as they have written them.

I'm a Barrister's Clerk so I might be able to help.

pm me for my email address to send more details if you want Moanie.

Just make sure u've got everything planned. I've been to court a fair few times with my brother for car defects n stuff like that. If u go unprepared, they'll come down on u twice as hard. But if u go and show confidence - not too much - then u should be sweet as. They'll try n pull the wool over ur eyes becoz ur a girl....just show em that girls r not just pretty faces ;)

Sure were!!!! defected for air pod and exhaust sound level. I put everything back after the first defect, as it was REALLY restrictive! to the point where the car screamed at me if i revved past 3k... i didn't have the money to put in a better solution! and then i got done again! :

Defected for a second time... thats exactly what i mean! Both times was for air pod and exhaust being too loud!

Your friend must get defected by the cops... ie highway patrol or paddy wagon guys... i got defected - both times - by the rta and epa. The cops pull you over for a random breath test, then ask you to follow them to an rta/epa set up where they will proceed to defect you for anything that is defectable for you car! The first time i was given two infringement notices... the second time (cause it was the second offence) the epa took me to court!

I'm just saying, be careful! If the epa/rta defect you, don't get done by them again!

what happened with your mate? WHat defects? Does he have to go back to the epa for an inspection to get it cleared, or does he just fax something to them?

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
