:) that isnt ture, im 18 drive an r33 gts-t, and have yet to have a problem with the cops, i have bene pulled over about 3times now, each time the cop was nice had a talk to me about my car and about my mods, never got a yellow or had a cop be an asshole too me, i say its the persons attitude (spelling)

Totally agree on the attitude front.....all i was getting at was you can be permitted up to the hilt and it won't mean anything if the cop has had a bad day. Bet you next get done for not having an H pattern on your gear knob.

The cop only has to suspect that something isn't legal and it's off to the pits for you with a yellow. You can complain about it, but from their point of view you can change anything you want after getting permits for it, doesn't mean it's legal.

Driver attitude is often a major factor in this, so is your clothing and general maturity.

I found i was being pulled over more on average when wearing my beanie than i was when not.....so go figure that.

actually, that's probably quite true the clothing point. I can't say i've ever been bothered driving around in my suit and tie. I bet if you pull up next to cop and they see you with your seat leaning right back, the beanie/backwards cap and the "i'm gods gift to women" look on your face, you're going to get a whole different treatment to "I'm a boring accountant with a nice car" look that I give them when commuting to work :)

well this was the thing i was stopped on the side of the road wait for my friend to cross the road with his gerry can and cops speed up to my car and all of a sudden think im doing burnouts and drifing and shit like that well me tyres had abit of rocks on it due to heavy taking off at the lights and they couldnt prove i was doin that so they decided to to give me a yellow sticker for my catch can and my boost restrictor hehe dumb asses believe nething

u just need a plumb back bov and it costs about 30 bux for a permit :D

Does the HKS SQV bov have a plumb back bov? Or i need to find other brand or is it custom made? I don know anything about mods hehe. Sry if i ask silly questions.

Neway, sry to hear about the bad day you had. Seems the cops like your car alot.

Hmm, a nice police man gave me a frucking yellow sticker a couple weeks ago. Was my fault, hadn't fixed my broken front bar. So I get it sorted and take it in, oh goody. New yellow sticker for other things. They didn't care about the bov, just wanted it quiet for the test drive. My pillar mount gauges were small enough and the 3" exhaust and all the rest didn't even raise a mention.

But the best part was my wheels, 18x265 on the rear and 18x235 on the front, the very kind / sneaky barstard who sold me the car had carefully ripped off the australian wheel compliance card. So I had to get one of those and then make my wheels comply.

Got the card and am now after for sale or short term 'rent' a set of stock wheels w/ decent rubber for a series 1 skyline GTS-t.

Anyone got any pointers.

Cheers.

D.

Tuyen I also got a yellow sticker on that tonkin hwy cruise. Guess what I got a yellow for.

1. A pod filter that was securely fixed to the car via a bracket

2. A strut tower brace.

This completely blew out of the water any respect I had for traffic cops at all. I had 7 cops inspecting my car. 3 checking out my boot and 4 checking my engine bay (oh sorry no they werent checking it, they were mearly warming there hands up). I was very calm and nice to them. I actually had a chat with one of the cops there who was on my side but there was one asshole who was leading the show.

Now I wasn't doing anything wrong, wasn't speeding, wasn't angry and don't have any bizarre mods done to it. Just goes to show what a bunch of useless assholes they really are when they go widging how under staff they are when they need 7 cops to inspect my car.

I'm sorry but I have now lost all faith

Cheers

Ps. Should I file a compliant and is there any way to have the sticker removed other than through the pits? Because they are both legal mods

They will argue, if they are legal you should have permits.

why was there 7 cops there?

Sounds like a sign of the time, just like east - defect stations (sometimes cleverly disguised as bretho stations) - if it is that, then it aint the cops fault, they are sent out to defect cars. Its a knee jerk reaction to the extra publicity that performance cars and hoons have been getting in the media. I hate the way media sensationalise everything with scare campaigns - we all pay the price in the end.

/rant

There were 3 police cars there and after everyone had gone through, I was one of the last to go through, so they all inspected my car. Would have only been setup as a station just for the cruise considering it was in the middle of nowhere.

But who's attitude.  I am not disagreeing with you, sometimes its the driver, sometimes its the cop.

Not pointing the fingure at anyone here, but I do believe, more often than not, its the driver

mm i got a yellow sticker for my tint on saturday night, i was very polite to both cops, even had a chat about the club i was parked in front of etc and other things, they then checked my tint (which is 15 instead of 35) and it gave a reading of 14.5 so i have to get it redone and go over the pits.

do i have to book it or is it a wait in line thing? anyone able to tell me how much it will cost me to get it checked, i was going to get my side windows changed to 35 at a tinting shop. how do they check the tint at the pits? same way the cops do? with those little light meter things?

cheers.

bad start to my night indeed.

ok here's the easy-to-understand steps of taking your car to the pits (welshpool, cos that's where i went)

1. go get your ticket to wait in line to pay your inspection fee of fifty-something dollars

2. With your receipt, drive your car to the used cars or the correct bay in vehicle inspections, cant miss it, it's to the right somewhere. Just stop where it says STOP, or line up behind 1 or more cars in front of you. If you're waiting this could take a while.

3. When an inspector comes out, show him your paid inspection thingy.

4. He'll do his stuff, from checking indicators to going down underneath your car. Just follow his instructions.

5. He'll take your car for a ride around the block too (well he did with mine anyway)

6. After that, just wait till he does his paperwork or whatever, and if u pass he'll peel your yellow off, give you your receipt back and off you go.

*disclaimer - from my experience only and no one else's.

hehe cheers, so will they check EVERYTHING even if the ticket says to just check my tint?

i don't want to have any more hassle about god knows what.

They check EVERYTHING. It should say full inspection on your car. Damn it means im going to have to swap my cat convertor back from my straight through 3" pipe (yes hippies hate me, and is also highly illegal), seat and a couple of other things.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
