1.) if this is for sound, just loosen one of your dump pipe bolts..

the gasket will burn out on that corner and you will hear the same stupid god awful screaching sound of an exhaust leak... this is exactly how a stock turbo, internal wastegate to atmo will sound.

That would sound like garbage and you know it. Exhaust leaks sound nothing like atmo venting screamers. Interesting advise coming from a police officer though, as this would also be clearly illegal.

2.) I work for QLD Police.... they can and will fine you the $10K...

As with any cop.. it depends on the individual cop who stops you. and your attitude at the time.

So you think that you, the police, get to play judge and jury as to what the fine should be? We have seperation of powers for this exact reason.

I train with a couple of them who were so annoyed with the individual driver with a bad attitude that they made an example of them..

Interesting, so you're admitting that police officers you know have made decisions based on handing out infringements of breaking the law, not on the law that was broken, but the attitude of the person? Again, we have seperation of powers for this reason. We also have courts to overturn these fines handed out by overzealous police officers who believe they hold the power to decide what punishment is fit.

Also, unless you have an engineers certificate for "ANY" modification from stock, you can be made to remove it.

so the guy above where his mates had to return to stock is very much possible.

I hope you have lied about your position as a police officer. As you are clearly the problem with police today, you just have no idea. Maybe you should refresh your training, and your mates while your at it by taking a quick look at the QLD transport website. I make reference to this article. http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/resources/...ion_jan05v2.pdf there are many modifications which require NO engineers certificate as you mention. So once again, the guy who returned everything to stock was misinformed and probably misled by police such as yourself who are unaware of the law.

de-reg and dodgey road worthy will be and has been found out before too.

that caused a larger fine than the so called mythical $10K fine..

make of this what you will.

Dodgy road worthies have been happening for years and the fine that it carries is primarily based towards the person who is doing the road worthy. Not the motor vehicle owner. The mechanic is the certified professional. The car owner is taking their car there for certification of road safety and hence is not liable for the actions that the mechanic takes. I don't agree with dodgy road worthies but it's not the owners fault if the mechanic is dodgy.

Make of this what you will. I look forward to your response.

eh all i have to say is that maybe you should have PM'd to everyone instead of posting it on here..

7/10

needed more heart and emotion

huh? I dont get your post? Are you saying I should have pm'd him?

what is keegs like the one who is always right or somethin seriously dude ease up on people you don't have to try and prove everyone wrong seriously

I'm not trying to prove him wrong. According to transport he is wrong. I feel that he shouldn't spout information trying to scare people of their modifications when his information isn't correct. If your seriously offended...maybe you havent been active on the forums very long.

huh? I dont get your post? Are you saying I should have pm'd him?

Hey man just trying to keep you out of trouble. The mods dont really like people flaming other people.

And not just PM'd him i mean lots of people :)

I vote you all pull ya farkin heads in. If we have someone posting on here who works for the above mentioned authourity he can be of far greater service to us than all the combined mindless drivel we go on with at times.

I vote for the copper. :)

the big point that keegs hit on the head was that cops have no idea about half the laws they are enforcing with regards to modifications... how many threads do we see about people getting defected for legal mods ? i'd really like to see the ability to hand out defect fines by cops removed, or at least proper training provided so they dont hand out incorrect defects.

you muppits.

I said I work FOR QPS.

I didn't say I was a cop.

FFS..

The point I make with my first point is that yes.. a stock turbo with internal gate venting to atmo sound like garbage.. it sounds nothing like an external gated turbo venting to atmo.

it indeed sounds like an exhaust leak.

my second point was something you should all already know.

atmo venting wastegate is illegal.

If you get pulled over for something and your car gets checked over, the cop can decide to "overlook" the defect and just say "you can't have that like that, make sure you get it sorted, or he can go by the book and book you for the defect, AND, suggest that it be taken over the pits.

Ban me for telling you how it is?

what a bunch of fairies..

I've been a member of these forums for alot longer than most of you here.

only recently moved to QLD but that's not the point.

So this thread is about someone asking "who makes screamer pipes for stock turbo's"

I don't know..

but I have heard a screamer pipe on a stock turbo's skyline and it sounds like ass.

I also simply commented on someone elses point about the fine not being true.

Keegs... good reply.

and very true on most parts.

But as you said, there are cops who don't follow the law to the last point..

Same as most people on this thread yelling, "get no cat and screamers bro"

"double flames bro"

The skyline community goes on and on about getting bad publicity, and then we've got our own members with the above attitudes.

anyway, I couldn't care less what you do with your own car.

I was merely pointing out what can/does happen.

i was in my friends s15 the other week and he got fined for having aftermarket exhaust and fmic, as these are non standard accessories, when we questioned this, the cop pulled out some paper that looked like he just typed up at home and showed us where it said exhaust mods are not allowed, exhaust is also extremely quiet for a 3" and i doubt it would be over the legal limit, cop also said in june some laws are comming out which will let police tow your car away if you have any mods such as this, is any of this true or is it all BS, ps cop was also talkin up his 6.0l v8 and comparing it to the s15 (which he called a skyline) haha

hmm yeah i have heard of people getting fined for a fmic, but not an aftermarket exhaust if it wasnt loud. as for those rules, thats just BS.

IMO you should fight those fines, you are allowed to modify your vehicle acording to transport legislation. As I outlined before you can do "simple mods" without an approval so long as they comply with certain legislation (ie noise and pollution req's) If a cop fines you, take it to court, it's simple and it's the only way.

Scarface: That cop is probably referring to the "hoon legislation" which has been in effect for ages. Chances are he is, like many police, without any idea of the law and wish simply to frighten modified car owners with false information.

    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
