Well again... the soarer has been defected...

-Tyres not complying with load ratings (it has the ceffy wheels on it until i get the tyres on the soarer wheels replaced as i got a puncture)

-Ground clearance (car has stock suspension but apparently the exhaust comes down too low)

-Exhaust (Too loud... had a chat with him tho about it and apparently i wont get an EPA notice cause its been tested before and they only test the soarers at 3200rpm unlike most other cars)

no fine... again... so thats cool.

i think this is the first major its had... but the 3rd canary

selling it anyway so i have to get a RWC regardless...

anyone want a loud defectable soarer? :P

funny thing was this guy had pulled me over before on nepean hwy because the front number plate was mounted to the left... he said he remembered and was glad to see i at least got that fixed up rofl

heh, just got pulled up then on kellets road in rowville, breath test, license check, and car check

'wheres the blow of valve'

me 'its pretty standard, standard blow of valves that aren't venting to atmosphere'

him 'trying to find tyre load rating placard in english on this thing'

another cop 'looks pretty low'

i just kept srugging saying i think its pretty standard (which it is kinda)...

he got the wheely thing out rolled it under my car, hits my mufler way to easy,

cops like no your about 20-25mm to low,

me 'really? i got it raised a month ago about 2 cm if not more since when i bought it, it was to low'

cop 'they raise it to legal height?'

me 'umm i guess not....'

they let me off - i have a pretty clean driving history maybe that helped... was nice to them and car is pretty standard, im thankful for that

my historys clean as well... minus one small fine about 2 years ago and the soarers std minus the exhaust, wheels and kit.

like what ash said... the dumb thing is (I HOPE UR READING THIS U TARDS) that the cops think they are puting us out and that fixing all this hassles us and that sooner or later we will stop modifying our far more l337 than their shitbox cars... WRONG! it takes all of one saturday and a few beers.... gives us something to do :rofl:

THANKS GUYS!

I was just waiting for something to happen driving my line last night. Especially after recent events.

Fortunately only saw one cop car, patroling local shopping centre carpark. They doubled back as i walked in to safeways, were gone when i returned.

Only pulled over once for 'random' stop this year.

Honestly i didn't notice what cars they were, there was more than 1, maybe 2-3? and they didn't pull me over directly, they had a couple of cars pulled over already, like at a booze bus, but there was no booz bus... were just normal cop cars as far as i can remember...

so sorry no heads up on what to look out for :rolleyes: it was about 9:30pm on wed night...

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
