i couldnt beleave the cops last night, i was in a car park with only my car and some old ladys and 3 mates..

had my bonnet up so the cops pull up behind me and ask to have a look and start defecting me..

the car is pritty standard but he did got me for fmic and boost control.

under epa rules for fmic and removal of boost contol.

so im guessing other guys have beendone for fmic and was wondering how they got along getting a test done (got told it can only be done in 2 places in sydney)

and to get down there i will probs need a standard intercooler which i dont have because i just got the car 2 weeks ago! man... im so sick of cops, wasnt doing ne thing at all and they still giving me a hard time!

what state are you in?

In victoria you're allowed 1 intake mod...so a fmic with the standard airbox is fine. a pod with the standard side mount is fine, but not both together...

dont know how it is in sydney though if thats where you're from.

if the pod is covered by a shield or one of those custom boxes, and if you had a FMIC then it wouldnt be illegal right?

its still 2 intake mods.

pod + smic

fmic + airbox

either/or, but not both.

if the shield you made for the pod looked like a stock box, then you might get away with it, but its still not legal

      Import insurance in 2025

      You would probably do a lot better in a claims process then most people. When I called the insurance company, they were surprised I read the pds because according to them almost no one does lol.

      Yeah it should be, but I wouldn't be surprised if the insurance company tries to pull some argument out of their ass to avoid paying you out.

      On some cars like MR2 Turbos they're notorious for not letting the wastegate open far enough to avoid overboost, especially certain cheap downpipes. If adjusting "percentage cycle" fixes it then it's just an electronic control issue, not a hardware one.

      Using Trickle Chargers

      Same.  It's depressing to say this but the skyline can go months on the charger between drives.

      Using Trickle Chargers

      By Duncan · Posted

      I often leave mine connected weeks at a time. The main one I use is the old model of this, it has 2 important features - choose battery chemistry other than lead acid (most of mine are AGM) - power supply mode which you can use to try and recover dead flat batteries as "smart" chargers often don't recognise a dead flat battery is connected https://www.projecta.com.au/products/IC10/intellicharge-10a-bat-chgr The Ctek I  use was meant to have a battery test mode as well but it doesn't work 100% of the time so I am pissed at them. The distributor did everything possible to make warranty and support difficult so I'll stay away in future. The main thing with a "trickle" charger is it has multi stage programs, ie once the battery is full it turns the current right down to just maintain the charge....in the old days we just used real "trickle" chargers for that which had a maximum output of say 500mA which was safe to just leave connected to dumb old lead batteries.
