yeh.... some cops you get are either out there for a reason or in the rare case for a legit reason. Had a cop in a 4x4 practically run me off the road to pull over while cruising at the speed limit. By the time I pulled over they had already got out of the car and at my door as if I was in American car chase.

Before even asking me for ID they were over the car, and my car is by no means modified. In regards to the gauge from my knowledge they have never been legal on the A pillar. However they can be placed in the front right corner. The idea is that you grab a baskeball (representing your head). If you can hit the gauge then it's a defect. If it's in the top right corner your head can't fit passed the steering wheel and A-frame to hit it. Therefore it's legal (had it questioned, asked regency).

They looked through my engine bay...found a spot of oil and were going to send me to regency. However got away with slightly bold tyres...mind you if you saw them you'd say they didn't even look half used... so go figure, depends on the cop at the time, their mindset and how their day has been.

yerh, the cop that pulled me over that night was a real pain in the arse, he was some hardcore chubby irish accent guy with a baldy head, i guess he was some high rank officer cause he had a trainee partner with him and he knew wat he was talking bout with the stuff i got in my car, i also got some frends dat got dfected with the same guy. wat a bummer

I am pretty sure that the guy that defected me fits that description

what police station was he from mate?

it should say on your defect form!

hrmm im not sure mate, doesnt say where he was from, it was either port adelaide or the one on handson road cos i always see that A*** hole around there

the rule with guages is if they are in your line of sight then its a defect. so from the dirvers seat do the guages sit above the dash line, in front of the front windshield.....

yerh i had my gauge on the far right side and i had a full clear with off my windscreen.. i dono wats wrong with the police. somethink was up his bum

hrmm im not sure mate, doesnt say where he was from, it was either port adelaide or the one on handson road cos i always see that A*** hole around there

thats the same fat pommy bastard that did me at arndale

i think he's from the hanson rd station

me and a mate got done by a fat pommy on south rd bp across from regency and i'm pretty sure he's from port adelaide station! i never get picked on by the hanson rd cops though, they know i don't drive like a nut but port adelaide police however, different story

got defected by that guy the other night for not having a tyre placard and for having a standard blow off valve.. He had fair attitude, like when he told me my pod filter was a boost controller, and I corrected him, he got angry and told me he was a traffic cop and he knew what he was talking about...

yerp thats him alright, he asked me about my factory bov and i said its from factory and he laugh and sed stop bullshitting i know all these things you guys have in your skylines and blah blah and keep saying i was lying

Yeah, damn those cops that catch you breaking the law :banana:

Obviously the cops have done their homework on whats legal and not on a car.

Do we do our homework on what we should fit to our car (or how to be discrete in fitting it) before coughing up the $ before doing the mod? No, we'd rather have a cry about it on the SAU forum.

The cops are getting smarter ... we're not. Simple.

    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • 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.

    • 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
