Hey guys so i got pulled over yesterday morning and defected for intercooler and pod filter. Cop said my pod was straight up illegal and i think the intercooler part was the fact i have a big hole next to my washer bottle for my I/c piping to go through from my front facing plenum. So he wrote me a defect that has to be cleared at an authorised inspection station. lol wtf. This stuff is legal in QLD. Going to get it cleared this week but just wondering about the pod filter sitaution O_o

As soon as i knew i was being pulled over, hid my PFC controller and played the innocent polite person that i really am (but to the max lol). No fine,no points lost and he didnt defect me for everything else i potentially could have been done for. like too low,possibly too loud,atmo bov,front facing plenum?,EMS,coilovers,boost controller and whatever else... lol

also do i legally have to get this defect cleared when i have a qld license and qld registration? what could happen if i dont get it cleared?

cheers guys.

Even though you car is regod in qld (your licence has nothing to do with it), the car must comply with the state that you are driving it.

At the end of the day if you never ever plan on driving in nsw again, you dont have to get the defect cleared, although bare in mind that the car will be defected in NSW.

Your best bet as you stated is to get the defect cleared. Before you do, i would call the RTA just explain how you were on holidays travelling when you got pulled over and got done and you car is legal in QLD. The phone call might not do anything, or you may be able to get it thrown away.

Give TMR a call a check to make sure you have no defect recorded against your ergo, if not, your clear. The RTA and TMR systems never speak to each other properly so even though he's flicked you a canary, it won't be lodged against your rego.

The only problem down here seems to be EPA. Nothing else has been lodged against my rego by NSW police.

Yeah pretty sure it wont be but i had to get it cleared down here as i travel to NSW usually once a week.

Dont worry about it if you're just passing through. My problem is that i visit NSW regularly. And as a general rule they dont pay too much attention QLD cars.

I live in NSW with my car still registered in QLD. I have never been stopped to be defected to date. Speeding, only once but I learnt my lesson. Then again, the cops here probably have no idea what a Stagea is.

Are Defects attached to the rego or the Vin?

Anonymously, why don't you call VEDA Ph: 1300.921.621 after 8.30am Mon and do a self-check?

Perhaps even reply to my thread http://www.skylinesa...-override-revs/ ???

^ ^ ^ This National system started 12 days ago.

I wouldn't mind seeing the outcome...

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
