GTR-N1 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Isn't it comforting to know that, when you arrive home, put your favourite performance car to bed, put your feet up on the coffee table with a drink in one hand and the keyboard in the other, that you can then take leisure time (logged on to SAU) to i) COP S#/T FROM UR MATES who are kind enough to say what they think ii) let off your own steam iii) find 1 out of 10 that can relate to your anger/frustration and then...

Munkyb0y Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) i havent looked for any written rule, or even read the rules lol. but here's my understanding. any intake mod messes with the factory emissions setup. so deviation from this could possibly deem the vehicle emissions unfriendly. on another note. when driving the gf's lancer, i have, on occasion, gunned it in view of police officers. they dont even bat an eyelid. same with the rav4. probably more so. but i'm not stupid enough to do that in the skyline. you gotta drive accordingly.

This may be out of line but it has the same fundamentals as 50's America when they were not so nice to african american people. "i.e." singling out 1 specific kind of person (African American ) / car (Skyline) with the proviso that they are committing a crime when they may be just sitting there minding there own biz. Lions also wait for the weak and young police are racist as by my equation listed above racism is not o.k im my books need a sleep Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241843-its-becoming-a-f-joke/page/2/#findComment-4219821 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abo Bob Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 The other side of pods is the increased induction noise - ie illegal based on emission of noise laws.

The old man has quite a few biker mates and they just glide by the police at 150Db's and nothing happens..............imagine a bunch of skylines with pods and 3 inch exsausts humming past the cops? id put $$ on the imports getting pulled over while the bikers go and party on Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241843-its-becoming-a-f-joke/page/2/#findComment-4219840 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars have 90Db to play with, and the induction noise is nowhere near that. Not even the Gas2JZ goes anywhere near that amount...

4teecal Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've been looking for a written rule as to why pod filters are illegal for about 6 months now... haven't found it yet... PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT OPERATIONS (NOISE CONTROL) REGULATION 2008 Try Clauses 13 and 20 (It took me 2 minutes to find. Then go to decc.nsw.gov.au As for driving in Lapa. Have you got a fog light ticket anywhere else. Maybe it's a hint. Don't go to Lapa on a Sunday night because you are lucky it's only the cops giving you a $81 ticket rather than the locals torching your car.
