Could you please explain how putting the stock globes let you pass? Or is it that some non-R 34s have halogen standard lights?

I've heard you can't just slot the halogens into the HID lights as they won't work??

Should of mentioned this was in my integra not the 34 :D not sure about the factory 34 hid lights

I got pulled over in my GT-R the other day in Altona Meadows since it's got no plates as i'm using a permit.

I was driving after 7pm which is a no no, thought I was going to get screwed but the copper said that since he owned a GT-R and was a fan of my car he let me go.

I asked him if I could still go to the servo to grab some E85 and he said as far as he was aware he didn't see me and told me to have a good night.

1st bit of luck I've ever had in all the times I've been pulled over.

Usually a un-rego'd car fine - which is $500, you got very lucky although admitting to it on a forum probably not the smarted idea

I did get very lucky and I don't mind admitting it on here as the car won't see the street again till it is registered.

That is very lucky.

By the way, what is the deal with major defect notice in terms of driving it. There are two dates given:

- 7 days post defect, "this vehicle must not be used on or after... etc"

- 1 month post defect, after which the vehicle's registration may be suspended by Vicroads if not cleared by then.

How about the time between the two dates? Can you still drive the car to the mechanic to rectify defects, get RWC, or to Vicroads to clear it? I called Vicroads and the girl seemed to think that was the case (they only seemed to care about the later date), but I have heard from other people that you need to get some $40 permit during this time??? She didn't know anything about it.

The vicroads talks about an unregistered permit, but that doesn't seem to be what is needed - because the car's registration is still valid for 1 month post defect. The 7 days just seems to be an arbitrary time period the cops give, but do they enforce not driving between the 7-28 day time period, even if you're just going to mechanic/Vicroads? Any one know for sure?? Thanks.

After 7 days you can only drive to and from mechanics vicroads etc for the purpose of making the car into a rwc state if u get caught driving after 7 (I think) it's $600 fine driving in registered also a tight cop will probably want proof where you have been / where your going

So ideally clear it within 7 days.

As Alex said, you have 7 days to clear. So you can drive the car ANYWHERE in those 7 days.

After those 7 days (and upto 28), you can ONLY drive to/from Mechanics or VicRoads for the explicit reason of clearing the defect. Taking the car for a service for example is not valid.

The car is still registered, unrego permit has no relevance here.

Lol what a load of BS, depending on what you get done for its almost impossible to get it done in 7 days.

Anyone seen one of these before? Needless to say the car does not smoke in the traditional sense (a la Mitsu Magna!).

I'm thinking disgruntled neighbour, which hurts a little.....

Still, 7 years of GTR ownership and this is the worst I've had.

1 long time no see, why no race with us no more...damn 911 drivers

2 seen b4 and yeah unless a cop or vicroads see you blowing smoke nothing to worry about.

prob a annoying prius driver who saw you warming up your car.

Long time no race! Been doing some non competitive Tarmac Rally stuff but even with that it's one or two events a year only. Kids / money / time = blockers! Yeah, worst thing about owning a 911 is you become a 'Porsche guy'. Still love the GTR more....

I'll have to stay off boost in my local hood by the looks of things.

Well don't drive a car that's illegally modified then, or toughen up.

Anyway this isn't a chat thread because you disagree with the law.

Any decent mod ie coilovers, intercooler etc are all illegal.

Not disagreeing at all, just pointing out the obvious flaws in the 'system'.

Not sure if its a good thing EPA sending out a letter, I wonder if your reg goes on there system as having a complaint against it?

Actually I would be worried. Reason being if you get a few reports then the EPA will haul your ass in for a full inspection. It's actually WORSE than the Police reporting you for noise... As ANYONE can report a smokey vehicle without any evidence what so ever.

So Nick - If you do have a disgruntled neighbour I suggest you start planning some kind of counter attack or blackmail if you can work out who :merli:

But on a more serious note, take it super super easy around your area. You don't want them reporting you a few more times, or for that matter getting other residents in on the act because if you get reports from multi-sources that obviously makes the EPA more trigger happy rather than one retarded tree hugging hippy

I report smokey vehicles all the time, the utter rust bucket ones (90-96 Magna's are the worst). That way it gives the EPA some actual real policing to do.

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
