I took my car over the pits a couple of weeks ago.Initial fee is $53.70 or something.

They will examin your whole car from top to bottom, take it for a drive around the block (yes you can be in your car while they do this).

second examination fee is something like $38 and they will only examin what was needed to be rectified on your work order extension sheet.

with the tint thing, my uncle does it and we are finding that they will allow you to pass if you leave your back window on and just remove the sides, i tinted mine so i had legal film on the back and 15 grade on the sides (im not to fussed if i have to take the sides off , they are easyer to redo than the back window)

cheers

well just got the tint removed, looks crap now :) feel... so ... exposed hehe

the tint a car guy told me they aren't allowed to check tint at night (i was checked at 11.50pm) and that i could have refused the yellow, no doubt they would have tried something else to get me for.

he also told me that my pod filter is not legal without a heat shield???

it is an Apexi type, braced to the chassis with the correct bracket.

can anyone clarify? can i just get a permit for it when it goes over the pits?

Hey Jarryd, i found that in the cruize ten thread, the aftermath discusion about all the yellow stickers handed out haha.

i think somewhere on the depertmant of transport site it will say stuff about blow off valves and the likes.

When i took my car to the pits I had one solid braket holding my pod to the chassis of the car (very secure) he was pleased enough with that and told me no permit would be needed for it. Also my strutt brace was still fitted and he didnt even look twice at that.

Scott simply was in the wrong place at the wrong time , they had set up a road block basicly just to search vehichles which they knew we were coming (mine included but due to still having a yellow sticker let me through after checkin to see if i had a spare tyre)

They were actually quit c0cky about the whole thing, anouther mate of ours (again anouther 4 door haha) was told to remove his digital display gauge which was mounted out of site from the driver. I beleive quite a few cars were searched and had yellow stickers handed out for no apparant illegal mods.

Like scott stated alot off respect was lost for the police at that point as we all saw it as bullying.

ahh wells

this is the moddifiers game i guess

hmm cheers impul, yes seems to be a bit of bullying going on and i lose respect for these 'police' daily...

after my family saw my yellow sticker my stepfather (who is one of those council crusader types hehe) ended up calling the police stations to find out why they were allowed to check my tint at night when nobody could get the same reading - i saw a reading of 1000, the female cops saw 75 and the male cop told me it was 14.5... quite a difference.

my tint has been ripped off now and i was informed by the senior constable my stepfahter spoke with that there is no record whatsoever of them giving me a defect notice.

i'm not sure how the cops these days are on their paperwork but i begin to suspect a lot of these stickers that are given out in these incorrect circumstances may not be processed officially, of course we wouldn't know and would still pay out our time and money for the hassle of 'complying' our vehicles...

*not happy jan*

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
