Some say that Pettett can sense a hidden boost controller in a car from 1 km away!

you fail at Stig style intros. Its "Some say <blah>, and that <blah>, all we know is that he's called <blah>."

And he has been known to use jedi mind tricks to put words in the mouths of offenders

"The injectors are not stock", "The injectors are not stock", "I'm going to have to report you to the EPA"

But seriously, Pettett is a good cop. Be respectful, do the right thing and he will not have a problem with you. I don't have a worry in the world if he pulls me over again.

I would have to agree, he is pretty tough though! He just knows his stuff and you can't trick him. i'm sure he is getting a good laugh out of this tread for sure

Ah I don't think anyone's really having a serious go at him or we'd shut this baby down. It's more a bit of fun. Yeah he's typically quite good in the run in's I had with him.....all except that one time. Perhaps he was hungry or missing his Mummy. Ah well we all have our bitchy days.

I accept that challenge. Autograph will be forthcoming.

not as much of a challenge when you pull up in a Audi :) ... like to see you attempt it in an import!

Some say he can test emissions by sense of smell alone and that he once gave so many defects all the printers in Melbourne ran out of yellow ink

Not bad, i can see this thread turning into more of these posts ^

I heard he defected his toaster because it was too shiny and sat too low to the bench. And that he fined his plumber for running water piping through a load bearing wall in his house. And that he gave his son an R/C car for Christmas but defected it shortly after, denying him his pocket money that week to simulate the thrill of getting a roadworthy.

And you know that ringing sound you hear in your ears when everything is dead quiet and you listen real carefully? That's the sound of him applying stickers to import windscreens...of course this happens so fast and often that it's more like a constant buzz.

Haha too funny

errrr i wasn't doing any "style", can't fail at something i wasn't even attempting.. oh but my comment was funnier than yours anyway :)86440247.FOY097Qu.fingers2.gif

haha zing hamish!

some say that pettett can defect a Skyline just by visualising it in his head, and that his badge is made out of the metal of crushed Skylines.

p.s I dare any of you kents to head down to Knox TMU and ask the man for his autograph ;P

i would do it. with a polaroid and everything.

im dead serious

Lol only experience i had with pettett was in 2003/4. Got defected for boost controller and hole cut in chasis for intercooler pipes. Went and got an engineers, looked at the hole and had 0 problems with it. Passed full epa inspection with a gt2540 and a chipped ecu. Too bad its a lot harder these days

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
