HUSTLR: this is going to be a legal nightmare.... cops already hassle mod cars.... and now they can issue notices at their own discretion removign 2 points in the spot in effect from people whos exhausts are "deemed" to loud....... imagine the abuse of power here...... points and fine... and potentially a lot of exhausts that ARE legal getting picked on.

Do yourself a favour and get an engineers report. if anyone wants engineers recommendations feel free to pm me and i will give you details.

Xrsist - simply a case of knowing how to deal with cops who harrass you. Obviously an engineers report is not a be all end all solution, if you get pulled into a big defect station and they have testing equipment on site then ur up the creek.

my 200sx measured a healthy 108.5db :lol: - I was fined $250 and defected at a station, got it cleared, put it all back on and obtained a engineers report which declares your car complies to specific ADR's.

The main benifit of an engineers report is in a normaly case of cops pulling you over, when they check your rego it comes up with a "this is a registered modified vehicle" statement which 99% of the time makes them think twice about hassling you.

Bear in mind the majority of cops defect based on what they *think* not what they *know* to be illegal - the fact you have gone to the trouble of engineering your car keeps them at bay....

This is from experience......... i will be getting an engineers report shortly to prevent issues with my local constabulary who already know me on a first name basis :mad:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
