No, same again. Maybe go about it a smarter way though, get a turn back cooler so there is no hole, leave the airbox in and don't put the blow off valve back on. Get a decent exhaust that isn't too loud and you could even hide a bleed valve (I did). I also put a Power FC in and screwed the stock Nissan ECU faceplate on (tight fit but you can).

As I said, this time go smart and they wont get you, they never got me again :(

What did you do with the HC? Or do you not have one?

Hand controller need not be connected all the time, and you don't really need it unless you're tuning on the side of the road...ala this guy:

recently i got a canary for my exhaust, intercooler, bov etc.. i removed it all, patched the hole and is now stock..

is there a harsher punishment if i get dicked again with the same mods?

cheers,

mate 2nite i got the most fkn bullshit defect. exhaust too low, fair enough i dont mind getting it raised and a rwc. that would have cost me $60. instead he lists it as a major defect and a $300 fine. WTF? i was done 20+km over the speed limit and the fine was less that that. also, he didnt tick the RWC box. since when is height a major defect with such a fkn huge fine?

Its up to them to decide whether major or minor whether you get a fine or not and also whether you get points aswel, ive always gotten major defects and all with rwc, theve given me a major just for pod and rwc and fine, it depends on how much of a tight ass the cop is and yeah with the exhust being to low they love that on skylines always check that first , i got a major for being a couple of mm to low with a rwc like i said depends on the cop

I was under the impression that the law was "lowest part of the vehicle no lower than 100mm above the ground (maybe it's 90mm can't remember) so yeah it's a defect but Major, I suppose it depends how low it is

yeh i think hes just another of those racist f**ker cops. din bat an eye lid at all the holdens driving past over the limit with exhausts that sound like a fart in a milo tin but once he saw me he took off like a bat outta hell to catch me

not always, a lot of mods can be considering minor or major depending on the cop and the driver. major is usually safety wise, ie, bald tyres ect. major for too low is a dick move unless springs are cut. then its understandable.

Were you doing 20k over the limit when you were busted or are you saying the fine for doing 20k over the limit is less?

The defect is at Police digression, if they want to ream you they will. If they see previous offences etc they are more likely to ass f@*k you.

I didnt kno aftermarket ecu's were defectable..why is that?

Yes, it's due to emission laws. If you alter air/fuel etc then you change the emission's.

Ohh,i didnt kno cops actually looked at them for defects,,lol dodgy dodgy..

but doesnt that make it illegal for apexi to sell pfc's or haltech to sell their units in australia?

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
