Cleared it ?

Can I have your rego number? cheers :P

 

But seriously, there should be some sort of workaround for this, if you set up your headlights properly. I think a state or two in USA have workarounds so you can retrofit (as in take headlights apart and put in HID projectors) your crappy halogens for an actual working setup. Anyone with R32 projector headlights will know how shit they are, regardless of what bulb you put in there. OE HID (even if it doesn't have self levelling and washers) should be able to be "engineered". At the moment it's adaptor plate + H1 bulb (which will make the headlights crap), might as well take out your front brake pads.

If the OEM HID headlamp setup is legal and safe in other countries it should be legal globally IMO. Who are we to question the revenue raisers known as Road Policing Command/ADR though...

Well it's only legal in Japan, strangely enough they use salt on roads and don't require headlight washers.

As well as Russia, Canada and other countries I've seen photos of M35 Stageas from.  Oh well..

photos of doesn't necessarily mean they're legal or compliant in those countries...

What I find ironic however, is these are illegal from a safety perspective (i.e. blinding if not correctly leveled), however SUV's which naturally sit higher than the rest of us are perfectly fine yet are equally as blinding...

Let's not forget the brand new SUV's self-levelling units that end up looking like a strobe light on the front of the car on QLD roads...

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
