well if your gunna live up here and work , you need to get your rego changed within like 3 months i think , but the MVR motor vehicle registery will require you to go over there pits for inspection for rego ... i had no prob's with my car , but others have had to change the odd thing or to , just depends on there mood and who you get . if ya have any prob's when ya get here let me or RBNT know and we can arrange stuff if needed.

Just an inspection at an authorized Mechanic is needed don't for get to get your licence done at the same time. If you are coming from interstate you have about 3mths to change rego but can check for you as I'm no traffic Nazi. Just remember if it is not standard or engineered it can be defected so if it isn't a plumb back BOV it can be defected etc. But it isn't to bad in the NT but they are thinking about bring the anti hooning law here (it may be here now, been in Groote to long). but remember if you do get stopped it will depend on attitude by you and sometimes the copper. If you want more feed back let me know.

Cheers ICE

We all know that it is easy to get along with the plods - a bit of respect each way goes a long way. There are a lot of coppers into their cars just like us.

Shane , I hope you are going to be at our inaugural (spelsy) SAUNT formation meeting in Feb sometime.

See you in March Dan, it will be coming up to cruise time then too!

CU all,

Ken

I had 2 postings to the NT with the green machine. Right back at the start of the buildup of our presence there and I found the NT police to be the best around. We did a bit with the SOG and it was heaps of fun sharing toys and obstacle courses. Good to see that it probably hasn't changed. Cheers Shane :( Is big Jim Met**** still with the Coroners office? He was a good mate and lived just a few houses from me.

Geez, sharing toys is something I would be keeping quiet. Dont ask me if I want to go camping either. :wassup:

Were you up for the anti terrorism excercise???

I reckon the NT coppers are better than most you will find down south.

No, I was lucky enough to get to live there, although I have done the drive up and back 7 times now over the years. The AT stuff was after my time.

I'm not sure what it would be like now with the concentration of military but I'd guess not as good as it was. Hopefully the local Police are still as friendly as ever.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
