yes i was going to do a similar thing regarding pod filters and blowoff valves.

go tyo the wreckers and buy heaps of cheap rubbish bov and 20 dollar pod filters and just place them all in the engine bay. some cabletied to stuff and others still in the box. so clearly not doing anyhing.

then go for a cruise threw the city and get pulled up. it would be pretty funny to see what they did lol

The only time i get hassled by cops is when i break the law (in referance to cars)

I was searched and questioned once, after i had personally called the police to report a crime... Idiot cops couldn't understand the difference between behind the shops, and infront of the shops... Nor would they listen to anything we said... they even searched a muffin we threw in the bin... wtf is wrong with these people?

They don't have to have the 90 or 100 limit on them.

I asked that question before.

Also, they need to be displayed on the front or rear of the vehicle. Not directly along side the number plate.

And it's illegal to drill/cut a number plate to (It's called defacing!)

I've been printing off alot of legislation to keep in my car too.

Here is how I display my plates...

Yep, my car is dirty :D

I've been followed by the law a few times with them displayed like this and haven't been pulled over once. Wouldn't have a clue if it would conform to whatever rules they may have in place but they seem to work as they are. I just use the existing holes in the number plates and the P plates and blot the together using a M4 x 10mm bolt. Tight fit but does the job.

The only reason I do this is because I used to use those static stick on ones you put in the window, that in the previously mentioned letter was explained wasn't good enough... so I bolted the P plates to my number plates of my Subaru, the front number plate tucked somewhat conviniently under the front bumper. I figure if they can't see my Ps, they can't see my number plate either :O. Then I got the Skyline and decided to do the same thing

Have to say though, I was once told by a police person at school that magnetic plates where the best option, but if an officer on a bad day is going to book you for that, I don't think its worth the grief...

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers 
    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
