Morning all.

Good friend at work, she and her husband were driving his late model BMW down the bay last night to find a park to eat. They got pulled over by the cops and got smacked with a $168 fine for having her stock standard fog lights on (the small ones in the front bar near the bottom).

How petty can you get.

There's alot more to the story (only got done for that, but it's the conversation that followed), but since it's a public forum, I won't say any more as she's taking it to court.

Although, I heard in the news that the cops were cracking down on the use of fog lights... but I thought it was only the aftermarket ones? I thought the stock standard ones that came with the car were fine?

now the fooly sick S13 boys wont have theirs on all the time. I heard somewhere that fog lights may only be in when it is actually foggy? but how do you make that a law?

Well the law was passed 4 weeks ago legalizing the use of Fog lights in foggy conditions. Before that you weren't allowed to use them at all.

Thats one of the reasons the regency boys would fail fog lights on most cars, with the obvious exception of stock foglights (not defectable but you weren't allowed to use them legally until a few weeks ago.)

Yeah. Ya gotta love the genius bureaucrats running this state. Bunch of Monkeys...

they introduced a heap of new random driving laws on jan 31? including 'you cant lead an animal while driving a car' and 'you have to return number plates of unregistered veichles before they have been unregistered for 90 days'

Edit: fixed, to make sence

Yeah my mate got a $180 dollar fine for having his fog lights on one morning (wasn't dark enough for headlights but wasn't light enough to drive around with nothing on either). Cop pulled him up and treated him like he just murdered someone saying if he was behind someone it would impair their vision or something.

my mate still has his plates from at least a year ago lol. custom plates, transport SA harassed him for ages then just gave up sending letters.

and who the f**k holds a leash out the window while their dog walks on the sidewalk? I guess their motto when making these laws is "Cover all bases"

      Pre-empting heat management  1. The Kraken manifold will be ceramic coated 2. Just purchased some peel and stick heat shielding stuff from car builders, I'll cover some of the firewall behind the dump and a little on the cam cover, this will be done prior to installation as I have ample room to get where I need to now before that realestate has more bits in the way, I'm also planning to modify the OEM heat shield to go back on, but that won't happen until after installation so I know where to hack it up, I'll also cover it with some some peel and stick to neaten it up after the hacking 3. As the dump is stainless with a flex joint coating isn't really a option, and wrapping isn't recommended for a stainless dump, so once it is installed I'll grab some shielding from car builders to cover the dump, as it has some stand off, it "shouldn't" cause any issues and it "should" just keep the radiant heat away from " melty engine bay stuff" Not for heat management, but I've grabbed some more black crinkle coat to paint all the shiny intake pipes, I'll pick the pipe work up prior to installation and use the paint booth and big oven at work to cure them, I'll then wrap them with some bubble wrap so they stay nice during installation

      a31 chassis pinout/cluster wiring layout

      By imonpcp · Posted

      YO- have been searching and searching for an a31 chassis plug pinout, or someone who knows which wire is for tach.  ceffy was flooded past dash during a hurricane.  having an electrical gremlin appear. tach is wonky reading consistent with a short, and on occasion the right side of my speedo lighting will flicker just for a second then go back to normal.  if no pinout available does anyone know if the tach harness opens or branches anywhere behind the dash? im suspecting a possible root behind the radio as there are more shorts in that area on the accessory loop.
