Hi ALL,

There must be a blitz on in Wollongong tonight. Saw probably 10 cars get pulled over in about 15kms then as I was heading home to avoid disaster it happened.

I was packing it so bad ...

I've just had the following done to my car:

*A turbo back zorst with a split dump and a fairly big cannon muffler on it (no way it would pass any test) = defect

*A pod filter which luckily I put in a fully enclosed heat shield and CAI = defect anyway

*Cross over style FMIC kit ( so there is a hole in chassis now) = defect

*A re-flash of the standard ecu. = defect if tested

^^ all the afore mentioned modifications didn't bother him in the slightest, the only thing that he was worried about was whether or not I had a atmospheric BOV ... which luckily I don't I've got the standard one back on there.

After going over my cars engine bay for quite a few minutes and some arse kissing on my behalf the fella that pulled me over let me off and told me to take my car straight home.

I really didn't like police all that much b4 but after 29t I think I might have had a change of heart.

Now to the point of this thread...

Anyone else get pulled over tonight for a random breath test in Wollongong??? :whistling:

Street-level crime and anti-social behaviour targeted during Operation Mega Vikings

Thursday, 14 Feb 2008 05:20am

New South Wales Police will start a three-day state-wide blitz at all 80 local area commands across the state cracking down on street-level crime, anti-social behaviour and public order management.

Operation Mega Vikings is an intelligence-driven high-visibility policing operation running continuously over three days starting at 8am today and ending 6am on Sunday, 17 February.

The operation will be conducted in two phases on each of the nominated days. During phase one officer’s will target fingerprint and DNA suspects, high-risk offenders, licensed premises and any associated anti-social behaviour.

The evening or second phase will target crime hotspots, licensed premises, public order, high-risk offenders, bail compliance and street-level criminals.

Deputy Commissioner, Field Operations, Dave Owens, said that considerable resources will be utilised during the co-ordinated high-visibility operation.

“This is also about reassuring the community police are serious about reducing crime and enabling people to get out and about and enjoy themselves without being subjected to people acting irresponsibly,” Deputy Commissioner Owens said.

“The message is quite simple: if you engage in criminal or anti-social behaviour, it will not be tolerated and you will be arrested, charged and put before the courts.

“Each Local Area Command will have specialist and general duties officers working around the clock over the next three days. These officers will be complemented by additional State and Commonwealth agencies,” Deputy Commissioner Owens said.

wow lucky kent lol how does an enclosed pod can be a defect? cos i have mine enclosed..so should be legal & how would the cop know if ur ecu is reflashed :S

I was lucky enough to be pulled over by an officer looking to buy a GTR so he pulled me over to ask a few questions on what to look for and what not, i asked him whats the deal with all the defect stuff and things like that, he told me that they employ heaps of ex mechanics and car lovers and put them on duty to look for unroadworthy vechles, there job is to fine you for anything not standard and then they a suppossed to send you to EPA where they do all the tests for standard computers and all the other crap that reams you up the A-hole.

they don't know by looking if you have a reflash but if they send you to an EPA test with the exhaust and the retune I doubt very much that it would easily pass...

I don't think a reflash is technically a defect anyway, I think the law says something like 'must be unable to easily modify the state of tune' for an after market ecu to be ok, its just wether the state of tune actually will pass an emissions test is all...

ohhh and an enclosed pod can be legal ... but it has to be engineered I think and generally your car won't pass EPA with a pod either

Edited by BLK33T

you can still modify your car and keep it legal ...

my plan is to take all of my newly fitted piping and stuff and paint it black to make it look stock & try to get all my stuff engineered if I can.

If that dude from ignition can get his 200 engineered and registered with all the shit he has done to his car then I should be able to get my car engineered.

i just got defected last night for air filter and a speedng ticket but the cop let me off for the BOV

he said that would be another 200 something fine and i acted dumb pretend i didnt know what a bov do (dont we all)

and he spend a good few minutes explaining it which i didnt even care less !! all i can think about is

how much is all these fines gona cost me... :P

ARGGHH! now i have to try and pull money out of my ass and pay for the stupid fines :laugh:

sorry but they need more Police presence that way due to all the Wankers that loiter around the lighthouse area on weekends....All those morons who come down from Sydney and make a total ass of themselves... i even seen one moron stop a car with girls in it and then get in the back seat...imagine if that was your daughter or sister...F&cking morons

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
