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.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
