well after completely f**king up the budget in getting Adelaide oval revamped, they need to recover the extra money spent somehow. To be totally honest this government is making things in this state worse and worse by the day, yet i don't f**king see the roads getting any better. Soon you will get fined for sneezing in the car. Arrrgh this state government is frustrating me every time they open their big flaps arrrgh

Oh come on man, Port Road is pretty good ey! :down: I won't drive from Semaphore to the city on Port Road... totally f**ked.

Why would any politician want to oppose this legislation? When has one stood up and supported drivers? No and none; if it doesn't get through in its full form they will pass parts of it that will still affect drivers, us especially with modified cars.

All points to revenue raising for SA for failed projects, Desal, Hospital, Stadium... all projects that will (and have) blown out in cost because of the Governments incompetence. Same deal on national level with mining tax, carbon tax, etc....

...end rant :) (for now)

I reckon we need to organise a cruise and get the media involved to show them that we don't want this to pass and that we are just a bunch of car lovers and not hoons. You can go out and buy a pair of footy shorts and boots and go join a club and play anywhere anytime but we can't buy a good car, modify it and drive it without getting in shit for having a nice car. Don't know about anyone here but if i get defected for a blown globe or wiper blade i'll take it to court and fight for us import drivers. The only good thing in it , is that mechanics can fix and lift the defect.

If a cop says to me i have a tail light out, all i'll do is say thanks mate , give him a thumbs up and drive off.

and hope no one rolls their neighbour's S13 at that one :laugh:

This is why i carry extra light bulbs in my car at all times, specially headlight bulbs because they are always going...

Also take it to court if you get defected for 'suspision of defect' and say the cop was an absolute arsehole, or film the whole thing on phone/camera and tell him this is being recorded due to me taking your arse to court and i want proof of your Incompetence!

And i dont know about this cruise thing working, just shows the government how many cars on our roads are actually defectable, due to 99% of cars on cruises are defectable, they'd just look at it like, "look at all that money we could be making off those people mwahaha".... bastards!!!

to tell thr truth, Id actually REALLY like to be a police officer.

I think I'd be a very decent officer of the law. Using discretion at all times.

having said that there is no way Id be accepted into the training, as without knees I cant run, cant kneel, am on medication & registered disabled.

going on from that, I cant even continue with my Uni degree as I failed the First Aid Certificate because I cant kneel down to perform CPR.

tbh life atm for me simply sucks :( not in a happy place atm.

with this potential new defect law, anyone who has a somewhat decent job should really push for a el-cheapo company car, and do away with your own personal registered car simply for the hassel sake. Lets face it, if you own an import and this proposal becomes law then you're going to cop a reaming at some stage......

so to all you good hard working souls out there.... start pushing for a company car; defect problem then isnt yours but your employers.

film a police officer carying out their duties, and tell them you are doing it?

lol try that and see where it gets you.

i think the person that wrote the article for adelaide now is loving how this has been blown way out of proportion and getting way more attention than it deserves thanks to them using the light bulb/wiperblade example.

if this gets passed it does not mean that cops are going to go out on a spree of handing out major defects for not having water in ur washer bottle. stuff will carry on as is and if you are unfortunate enough get defected there will be an expiation notice as well. It's pretty straight forward and to be honest im surprised the idea of having a mandatory fine attached to a defect has taken this long.

currently Police have the discretion to defect you, let you off or give you a fine for breaching vehicle standards... it is easier for them to fill out a defect notice than it is a fine, so i would expect that they arent too impressed about the extra work they would potentially be lumbered with

where do i apply for that job Craig ;)

so Carl this could work as a positive the lazier the officer they may not be bothered doing two lots of paperwork

remember people this has to be passed through state government first

Really looking forward to getting my brand new Toyota camry in July... Specially seeing as I don't have to

Pay a single dollar for anything :P

Hehe

enjoy it, its a peice of crap, I had one that the ECU failed on, 4 times, accelerated random, or not at all. then the brakes failed in the first 2 months.got it with 13 k's on it. returned in a year with 56,000 on it.

drivers flare off the dash, horrible steering, to think it was a toyota amazed me, on how poor it was .

time to move interstate, this place is a whole other country in itself. I left a long commment on the news about it.. hope they publish it

ADR no

ADR = Adelaide defect rules

Dude, I'm driving a Hyandai Getz ATM, ANYTHING is better than this pos haha

And it's the 2010 camry altise which from what Iv read, has awesome reviews...

Either way it's free, who am I to complain lol

ok I see your point, I had a brand new "GETZ" you knowwhere fast for a rental car once. I felt like it was chained to a house when I floored it and it was a stick shift too , and stopped by fred flintsone methods or bike coaster brakes.lol

you'll see the new model camry is a bad car .....mine was the 2.4 petrol . I know it suprised the head mech guy at CMI when we went for a drive in it. and it coasted in a round about with my foot floored way before the round about.

the list of things that are designed poor in that car is loing, fuel economy is great,

carry a towel in the car i f your drive in the outback at night, the radio doesn't dim, and is annoying as fark reflecting off the window and you'll need to toss it over the dash lights in the console

fly by wire throttle = fail, ECU controlled tranny= fail

and back on topic, this state needs some balls, who voted these tards in ? do they realize how much money gets dumped into cars, new and used in this town ?

I wish I had a electric car, so I could go thru the defect revenue trap without vasoline . so I could get a SUSPECTED DEFECT lol

the public needs to sting them, a car just from the show room floor defected ?? with video please

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
