you may need one for the pod filter... the rest sounds ok cept the turbo timer.

a quick question, why do you need it?

do you thrash the living crap out of your car for the last few minutes of your way home?

They should be illegal anyway, your not spose to leave your car running without you within 3 or 5meters from it or something similar to that.

simple.......it came with the car :(

another quick question.....the car has no cat.....now i've heard off a few people that its illegal NOT to have one, and that you can get upto a 10k fine!! :D

now the weird thing is that the car has passed the pits 3 times, and they didnt say anything about it :confused:

you rekon if I went back for the permits that they'd pick it up and that they would sticker the car until the cat is sorted?

hmmm

Ive been told the turbo timer illegality is about having something wired into your ignition. As far as boost controllers go, apparently they arent illegal but your not meant to have it within reach of the driver. eg: you have to stop the car to change the boost because its in the glove box or something.

As for cat converters, its highly illegal not to have one, and the fine can be as high as 10k. Doesnt seem to stop alot of people because the sheer difference it makes not having one is incredible.

I heard you get absolutely raped if you get caught wihout a cat. I'd get one if I were you. I also heard the fine is in the order of $10k cos your emissions would be very bad w/o a cat.

cats just require removing part of the pipe that used to have the cat there, inserting the cat in, then rewelding

they can cost up to a fair amount, depending if you want a high flow one or not

the guys at the pits may not have done an emissions test (and you were VERY lucky for not being caught as I've heard too that it's up to a 10k fine for not having one)

u and 25gtt should go and buy lotto tickets!!

radium: why does he need what? the turbo timer???

don't u have one?? they are in my opinion EXTREMELY necessary

you don't have to have booted it the last leg of your journey...if you'd have given it a bit earlier the turbo will retain it's heat fairly well since it's is generating heat

if I cane it anywhere on my journey, I always set the timer higher

...sorry if this isn't what you were referring to, and that you had to be bored shitless reading this! haha

I'm bored :(

Im bored aswell :D

just say if I was to be pulled over, couldnt I use it against them?

Just say if I were to argue that it had passed the pits 3 times and that nothing was said. My old man reckons leave it and just fight em if it does happen......hmmm

As for the other stuff....I should get off my arse and get some permits :(

my thughts precisely timmay

nah boosted, you can't say that unless you had very recently been to the pits (I think they give u a kind of immunity period after pits where you can't get touched...pretty much)

but personally I don't think you should leave it off, as they can very easily prove you wrong, and if you take them to court over it, then they're likely to give you the full fine ;)

they can very easily tell if u don't have a cat (emissions test and/or flame marks on bumper) and then 10k later you;'d wished you'd put the cat on :) or left it on, whichever way round it is :)

yeh very true

guess I'll have to do it some time

im just wonderin why the exhaust didnt have a cat in it to start with, because i thought the N1 exhausts had different sections, like cat back, front pipes etc

i just went and had a look and its just one full piece, theres no weld marks or anything for where the cat should be :eek:

wierd :)

whats this no permits for exzorsts??? I Have 1! along with airfilter permit.

My friend with a the evo 6 got permits for Xenon head lights, factory evo bonnet vents, he's brembo brakes, zorst, airfilter, pedals, guages, everything. every mod he has he's got a permit for. probably good coz cops have defected him twice b4, so he's practicaly bulletproof.

I just got my permits when i got defected, payed like i think 25 dollars, or close to that.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
