No comments/considerations of the alternative for auto drivers (that regency wont notice) - nistune?

Admittedly, this won't work easily for R33 owners (without either using R32 and sacrificing VCT or using a Z32 ecu..)

I ran 14 psi once on my stock 33 turbo and it didnt last long.. not a very good situation to be in when it blows.. but i got it high flowed after =]. Anyone know wats the highest psi u can put on a 33 highflowed turb??

back on topic i used to run 14psi on stock controler usually saw 13.5

i also run a GTR pfc and vct is over rated

+1 on the VCT bit. Im still running stock ecu with an EBC maxing out at 14psi (still got ceramic turbos)... provided you're not on boost for aaaaages the ceramic turbos will be able to cope with the heat/pressure (fine for my daily driving but when I decide to track the car I'll be wanting new turbs)

so im guessing just leave the hand controller at home or hide it in a bag in the car or something like that. not entirely sure how they work. but have only heard awesome things from them

run the pfc hand controller cable under your dash all the way to the right handside of steering wheel then bring it through the fuse cover opening and put a bit of doublesided velcro on dash next to steering wheel and place handcontroller there

then when you park/leave ya car put the hand controller back behind fuse cover and cover

The last couple times SAPOL has pulled me over in the R33 they've searched the fuse box cover, aswell as ashtray etc. - nothing new there to them.

They are not allowed to search without a search warrent.

If you give them permission they are OK, otherwise they are only alowed to observe whatever is freely in view. (this includes under the bonnet)

Trouble is if you refuse to popther bonnet they may assume there ate defectable items, but they still need probable cause to issue the defect (ie I heard a BOV or other such crap)

if they are suspicious they can go through your car with no warrant. I was sitting in my car in a car park and cop car parked next to me and and went through my car, obviously lookin for boost controller soo.....

I know 100% that is not true, police can look anywhere they like in a car.

An extract from a legal advice given by Gilshenan and Luton Lawyers

When can the police search you?

The police can stop and search you (including your car or possessions) if:

• you agree; or

• you are under arrest or in custody (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, ss.23, 24); or

• they have a search warrant, which they must show you if you ask; or

• police suspect on reasonable grounds that you are carrying stolen goods or something about to be used in a serious crime (eg weapon) (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, s.21(1)(a); or

• police suspect on reasonable grounds that you have (on you or in your vehicle) a prohibited drug (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, s21(1)(d) & s.36(1)(e)); or

• police suspect on reasonable grounds that you have (on you, or in or your bag) a knife or a “dangerous implement”. In this situation police may request you to undergo a frisk search, or a search of your bag or locker. They can’t forcibly search you, but it is an offence to refuse a search for knives (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, s.27); or

• if your car belongs to a “class of vehicle” that police suspect on reasonable grounds is, was or may have been used in connection with an indictable offence, or circumstances exist that might give rise to a serious risk to public safety and stopping and searching the car would lessen the risk (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, s.36(2)).

• if police have been authorised to use their emergency public disorder powers, and you/your vehicle are on a target road or in a target area. The police don’t

Police Powers and Your Rights

Freehills Sydney\004524341 Printed 26 September 2008 (17:19) page 3

need any warrant or reasonable suspicion. They are not allowed to strip search you (Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002, s.87J-K); (see Part 8 – Emergency public disorder powers).

3.2 Reasonable suspicion

In most cases, police can’t search you unless they suspect on reasonable grounds that you have something illegal on you. “Reasonable suspicion” is very difficult to define, and it is often left to a court to decide. A reasonable suspicion is less than a belief but more than just a possibility. It must have some kind of factual basis, and it will usually be based on a number of factors.

For example, the mere fact that you are in an area well-known for drug dealing will not usually be sufficient to raise a reasonable suspicion, but if police see you approaching people or handing something over to another person, they would probably have reasonable grounds to suspect that you were carrying drugs.

Simply objecting to being searched or demanding to know why you are being searched does not give police reasonable grounds for suspicion – insisting on your rights does not mean that you have something to hide.

Searching Persons without a Warrant

The Police Powers and Responsibilities Act permits police officers to search persons without a warrant.

The authority of the police to search a person without a warrant is dependent upon the existence of a ‘prescribed circumstance’. If a police officer reasonably suspects that a ‘prescribed circumstance’ exists. The prescribed circumstances in which an officer may search a person without a warrant includes circumstances in which the person is reasonably suspected to be in possession of:

a weapon, knife or explosive;

an item which the person intends to use to cause harm to any person;

a dangerous drug;

stolen, illegally obtained or tainted property;

evidence of the commission of an offence punishable by a minimum of seven (7) years imprisonment, which the police officer reasonably suspects may be concealed or destroyed if a search is not conducted;

an implement of housebreaking, motor vehicle theft or drug use.

Searching Vehicles without a Warrant

An identical set of rules apply to police searches of vehicles without a search warrant. A police officer may stop and search a vehicle, together with anything in it, if any of the above ‘prescribed circumstances’ exist.

When searching a vehicle, the police are allowed to enter, re-enter and stay in the vehicle as often, and for as long, as is necessary to properly carry out their search. The police also have the power to move a vehicle to an appropriate place for a search, in particular if it is impracticable to search the vehicle where stopped.

it's called probable cause (suspicion) which will alow them to search any part of your car without a warrant as long as they don't start dismantling (need warrant for that).

they usually use the contraband or weapon excuse to go to town on your car without your permission.

True, but you can challenge them on this. They need reasonable grounds, and it must have some kind of factual basis. If you were to politley point this out (without an attitude) I doubt they would want to challenge you.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
