i wasn't sure if what i circled was the standard BOV cos thats what the cop was pointing to.. its not hooked up, (note the shiny bling blitz bov further down the inlet pipe :lol: )

f**k i dont need this right now, i'm out of town for at least 8 weeks in a row. how the hell do i find the time to get this sorted out??

Just remove the Blitz BOV and it is legal.

That is the standard BOV (air bypass control valve) that you have circled.

You should just be able to mount the guage lower...closer to the dash.

There is no law against POD filters. NO RULE WHATSOEVER.

in qld they will go over the entire car... they dont care about mis matched tyre sizes.. coilovers that do not meet ADRS (pretty much all of them) are illegal... dont worry about the steering wheel as along as its diameter is greater than 340mm...

As for the guy the said u can get fiberglass and carbon engineered.... not in qld without a great deal more trouble then simply getting it inspected.

Does anyone know the laws on incar dvd systems?

I'm wanting to get a 7" DVD screen mounted into where the head deck bit is and also a dvd & mp3 player underneath it.

What the rules based on having this in the car and also the rules on the dvd movie playing while driving?

From the mouth of my engineer who engineered these mods on my car:

*Gauges are allowed on the A pillar, he checked that they don't obstruct my vision so they passed, they are above the height of my steering wheel.

*The diameter of your wheels is irrelevant as long as the outside rolling diameter remains standard, however width changes are based on the weight of the car and the original rim size (somthing like 1.5" wider than standard is allowed on heavier cars and 1" wider on light cars).

*My front mount was covered in mesh for engineers, i did this to stop rocks etc but apparently some cops had been defecting people around here for having nasty sharp exposed intercooler fins, wtf....

*My coilovers were engineered no problems

*Major modifications such as an IRS conversion pass with ease provided it's a neat job with sensible mounting points etc.

i have been defected driving a mates car with a front mount that was exposed. the ruling is the same as the bullbar rule. if there is sharp edges exposed on the intercooler/bullbar then they are illegal bcoz if you hit a pedestrian it could kill them.

I have exactly the same steering wheel as you and I didn't get in trouble by the cops that got me on saturday night. I have been driving this car for 6 months and this is the first time i've been defected.

exhaust too low to the ground

pod filter not secured

exhaust too loud

bov

no rear mounted brake light (WTF)

shouldn't be too hard to fix all that crap up.....have 2 months to do it in

Just got pulled over by the cops for an RBT. Passed that and then he saw my momo steering wheel with metal in the middle of it and decided to check the car out. He said he could fine us and marked on the defect notice 'Major Defect'. I now have to get the car inspected.

The issues he raised are:

- venting bov

- hole cut in primary structure for cooler piping

- larger than standard intercooler

- cover missing from air filter

- exhaust suspect compliance for noise/emissions

- steering wheel (metal in the middle and not large enough)

So has anyone else been done for these sort of things and what did Qld Transport have to say?

Well well well. We just had another look at Konrad's defect notice and guess what?!?!?! SAME F-ING COP!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who gets a defect notice from this guy but gets passed by Qld Transport should put in a complaint. But you'll have to get in line behind me.

hey guys.. one of the guys at custom carbon in geebung said their bonnets are legal (possibly have documentation too?) and do pass the destruction tests most bonnets going around arent 100% carbon fibre and therefore are illegal.. these bonnets are pretty expensive tho... but good to shut a cop down with for a change.. good luck everyone....f*%k the police!

Yeah, I just got word that Custom Carbon are about to have their paperwork finalised for this.....they said it should have cleared by now but has been tied up in red tape for some time. Their bonnets cost around $2000 so not exactly cheap but you get that for the real deal and for someone who has had to demolish 3 cars and 3 bonnets and pay for all the rest of the testing.

Should be very soon and they will be available.

I asked custom carbon back in january about ADR aproval and they said they were getting it next month (february) so i dunno how long it takes but im sure it isnt almost a year... Also on page 4 of that qld transport pdf "Powerchips are legal" as long as they apply with emmision rules! so does this mean unless you have a real bad tuner that makes you actually lose power and run richer, youre fine and legal!?

Does anyone know the laws on incar dvd systems?

You will have no worries AS LONG AS the driver can not view any part of the screen whilst in a normal driving position.

Saying this if you dont have it on whilst driving it is fine.

But then if you have some 'driver aid' hooked up to it and the driver can view it then it is legal.

Driver aid being a reverse camera, closed circuit security camer/s, navagation program thingy.

There is a link on these forums to the adr's, but as all of them the reference a whole host of othere adr's so it will be a mammonth task to get them all.

Its good to hear a few companies are organiseing the ADR's but who'll insure them, i have just been knocked back after revealing i have a c/f bonnet, and before any clown says don't tell them you have it, i don't want to be paying a high premium only to have them cancel my policy when i make a claim because i withheld the info to start with. I'm checking an insurance broker today but still would be interested in hearing from others.

hey all, i have probably learnt more in the last few mins then i have in the past 2 weeks of school. so now i have a taste for learning i want it to continue!! jk..

i am yet to notice anyone ask about car audio. is this due to u guys growing out of an old car with a more expensive sound system? if so, could u please help me anyway. i was just wondering what the highest legal Db is on QLD roads. just curious, as this info is for a mate, who has a rolla with two 15's.. he was hittin 133 with his 10's, and hit 135 with his new ones using a scratched cd.. so we are yet to know what it can do.. and what it it in comparicent to the legal limit

thnx for any help

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work. 
    • Potentially some interesting data for some of you here; Hank Iroz from Iroz Motorsport testing a new Xona Rotor 5964S on a Audi RS3 2.5L DAZA motor. https://facebook.com/share/p/14EU18MyDqZ/ Cliff Notes: Turbo has the new Xona XRE compressor aero with an X4C compressor cover, reportedly 0.64 rear housing. 900whp (670kw) @ 37psi, 170k shaft speed, motor is making 2bar (29psi) boost by roughly 3800rpm, 500lbft (670nm) torque by 3500rpm. They overlaid a stock RS3 on USA 91 fuel (red), and a "Stage 2" RS3 on E85 (yellow), and this 5964S (blue) - the 5964S isn't losing any ground to either. Apparently out-flowing their prior tests with a Xona 8264S (green), and this 5964S (white) also has a smaller A/R than that did.
