Did they measure your tint or just say it looks too dark? Most of the R34's have the UV-cut glass...which looks dark, but the actual transmittance is extremely good...it's like one-way ambulance glass. The key word in the legislation is transmission :(

It's all on the legal basis that the driver doesn't have his vision diminished, that all goes out of the window if you drive with sunglasses on though...*sigh*

A friend of mine who owns a tinting franchise told me once that there is only 4 certified testing locations in Queensland that are able to correctly and accurately measure the tint darkness??

Go figure when the police say, "Sorry mate, it looks to dark".

Tyre size is easy. Any tyre shop can tell you the nominal rolling diameter of any tyre size. with that said, the width issue is also simple. If your vehicle comes out standard with 215/50/16's like my R32 does, that means that I can go up to roughly a 275 wide tyre. The only problem is finding a combination that will also fall under the rolling diameter law. in which case I would probably need something like a 275/35/16 which I don't think they make. I SERIOUSLY doubt you would have anything wider than that on your car. I even think the R33's come out with 225's as standard don't they?

With the exhaust, you'll have to find a resonator that has glass packing instead of fibreglass or stainless packing. Glass packed mufflers/resonators deaden sound like you would not believe. If it comes down to it, you can still buy another 3inch straight through fibre packed muffler and put it in just behind the cat or something. You will knock it down from roughly 110 db to 90 db by doing that alone.

Ditto on the tint issue....that is crap unless they test it.

Boost controllers are illegal from what I am told. I think you can still argue that the vehicle is fitted with factory boost control (wastegate actuator). But I think the problem is with the adjustability. Under bonnet is fine I think, as you cannot turn it up or down while driving.

oh, I almost forgot. The battery thing too, the law doesn't say just sealed either. It says it must be sealed and ventilated.

Sealed AND ventilated? Doesnt that contradict its self?

Sercure and vented maybe.

What is the issue with electronic in cabin boost control?

being able to adjust the vehicles performance from in the car, or more basicly being able to adjust the vehicles peformance. I doubt there is a law against it, it is impossible to have laws that cover every aspect of modifying a car, so police just pick on things that are non-standard in the hope that noone will kick up a stink about it. That and there is more than likely a general law that states something about modifying a car without a mod plate or approval etc.....this is most likely the case.

dam roger, thats harsh man. what night/day did u get done on?? i wasnt out at all bcoz i seen them out friday night (State Traffic Task Force) and i just did a u turn and went home, i seen 4 cop cars in 1 min just near alex surf club. i knew they were out bcoz they were at goldy last week up here this week and my guess is brissy this week end. and guys roger has a trust in cabin adjustable boost controller knob that u can manually adjust whilst driving. if u wana get your exhaust quietened go to an exhaust shop and ask them if they have any old rear standard mufflers off a car then get them to bolt a flange type adjustment for the back baffle so u will have a standard muffler say 2 1/4 Inch tip and it will quieten it down enuf to pass the test. then when its over just put ya otha muffler back on. if u really wana quieten it down just get another resonator put into your exhuast somewhere. had to do that to my mates cars.

So how does one become a 'member' of Team Sh&%box racing anyway? I was just wondering coz I own one of them and need to belong to something.

LoL great skill and agility man. It was just a joke thing between mates a while ago, we had crappy cars at the time, so to stop others picking on us, on with stickers etc. Grew from there.

But yeah, back on topic. From memory the cops dont like the in cabin tee peices because they can vent the gasses in to the cabin. Dont quote me tho.

my rims were 18s and my tyres are 225/35/18 front and 265/40/18 rear. apparently the biggest wheel i can put on is a set of 17s with a proper load of tyres-- i meant load was --> " here's what the copper explained--> my tyres can hold a load of upto 516KG when i was meant to have a tyres that can hold a load of up to 680kg--> and i was like..what the? ok.. so meaning---> if i got some big passengers...my tyres might not be able to handle them--> and YES..is was 2mm too big...he explained that even if i did a burn out to take that extra 2mm out.. i would still cop a fine for not having a road worthy tyre...so eitherway..i get the fine.-->LOL

My air filter was a nismo and it wasn't secured properly so thats why.

as for the tinted windows--> police said -- " it looks too dark and must be removed "

i will find out on wednesday what i can do about my muffler..they gave me 5 weeks to get everything done.

this was done on a SUNDAY.. and they are from Brisbane.

My BIG questions about mufler noise though --> i have never seen a Harley being pulled over because of mufler noise...Why is that ?

yeah they arent targeting bikies on harleys, they are trying to get us bcoz we drive around lapping up and down. if bikies were doing that all day they would be out fining them 2. its crap i know, but now the majority of cars cruising round are imports they crack down on any 1 who drives 1, even if you never come out and just drive to work and back. if your in the wrong place at the wrong time too bad. its descrimination at its best.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
