Far out Sydney has gotten bad. Can't even drive your car around down there anymore.

Gotta be stressing to drive anywhere near Sydney now. We don't have these issues on the coast..... Yet!!

They hammered Newcastle for a while so i dont go there anymore, we used to have a whole bunch of imports on the foreshore every weekend until a bunch of Hockey Pucks in commodores started doing burnouts etc so the cops got the sh*ts and hammered every car with defects possible, funnily enough all the imports were generally parked and not doing cruise laps :dry:

they don't give my car a 2nd look.

if your car is very flashy and loud you are asking them to look at you in the first place, then you get angry that they do look at you.

My car is stock looking and sounding and i seem to get away without a drama since the new turbo etc BUT i am yet to be breath tested and stuff in it..... i swear its stock officer :ph34r:

It has only got that way due to some idiots behaving badly in public places, getting the media all hyped up :domokun:

I miss cruising Newcastle beaches etc, but it has now been ruined by morons! :rant:

The thing is if there is a defect station at bondi for example, there atleast 10cop cars driving around like flys stopping any car that looks "sporty"

Hell my mates bog stock r32 gtr got pulled over and told to follow them to the defect station

Gotta stay away from bondi/Brighton/city

Worst thing is you walk through carparks and see all the cars with bald tyres, rust holes and all sorts of messed up stuff, not one would be pulled over for EPA or Defects like we get targeted... And most people modify their imports for improvement in handling and braking etc.... It's a crap system!

Yeah had this argument with a cop. They are just a bunch of absolute morons.. They are quick to defect an import and pull all stops to get you, but when you've been rolled bashed robbed and bleeding they will deal with you when they can be bothered and end up telling you there is nothing they can do. But have a modified car its like your killing babies. Arseholes. I let them know it to.. doesnt do much but makes me feel better getting it off my chest.

I don't think giving them attitude helps, they have enough assholes to deal with on a daily basis... I'll

Just play nice when the time comes, and then I guess try get it all passed the legit way

Hey guys sorry to resurrect the thread; didn't want to start a new one and couldn't find answers to everything.

I have been given a notice to go be tested. I know for a fact that I won't pass noise as is. I have a few questions:

-Will they defect my atmo BoV? i know they will if they find it but do they look for that?

-Should I weld in my silencer? I have a feeling it still won't be quiet enough.

-Are there any mufflers out there that maintain decent performance while keeping under the legal limit of noise?

-How do they test for noise? how far back from the car is the soundmeter and is the test done outdoors? Just curious because I happen to have a soundmeter and would like to test on my own for a general idea

I read on the EPA website that there are fines (up to $400) for selling a car that doesn't meet the standards, I was sold this car with a shitty atmo BoV and this crappy loud-as-f**k muffler. I bought the car about 8 weeks ago and haven't done a blue-slip yet (interstate purchase). Does the previous owner have any responsibility here?

If anyone could shed some light here it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

      I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
