not all defects need roadworthys you can get defected and only have to get it cleared at vic roads it all depends on what the cop puts on the form i got defected but didnt need a roadworthy all i had to do was get it cleared at vicroads. it all depends what the cops say and they put on the defect form.

You definitely have a S1.5, which requires an airbag wheel.

My mate removed his airbag globe from his dash when he had to get a roadworthy, as the light was always on, and failed inspection as the airbag light did not come on when the inspector turned the key. Mind you he still had the std airbag wheel fitted, so if you where to fit a non-airbag wheel it would probably pass as the inspector may be non-the-wiser.

is that wire the only loose wire in the steering column,

was it connected to anything before with the old steering wheel.

the airbag light problem could've came up when you remove the old steering wheel if the previuos owner put a resistor in the Airbag plug but it got knocked or pulled out when you removed your old steering wheel.

hope that makes sense :D

Just wondering, only just read me defect notice tonight, if im reading correctly you have 7 days to drive the car, after those 7 days you can only drive the car for another 21 days to have it tested or repaired AFTER the defects have been fixed, after that time the rego is suspended, is that right?

I have attached a front and back copy of my defect, the bits im referring are the first instructional bit on the back which refers to section 4 on the front but section 7 says that i have up untill the 4th of march before the rego is suspended.

    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup
