Hello, 

Not sure if this is posted in the right section but I have been unable to find out anything about my question anywhere and it may seem silly but does anyone know if a defect notice becomes invalid when they don't fill in the correct information.

Example: wrong vin number, wrong license number and no engine number

It actually states on the form I received that 'where a chassis number used a engine number must be recorded and a section for the engine number under it which was left blank.

It's a new defect on a big registered car which has no problems, the cops right from the start were rude, arrogant and aggressive when I questioned anything they said, and yes I called the nsw police and they said they didn't know and had to call back to ask the ticketing officer if it's valid, not that he can actually give a proper awnser on it as he has a conflict of intrest

There's no way you would ask the cop, of course he would say its valid. Its fact, police do make mistakes and issue notices in error so worthwhile to push further and seek legal advice if you believe this is the issue.

In the vin he wrote BCR33 but it's ECR33, they only put down 6 of the 9 numbers for my license as well, I will be seeking legal advice on it but curious if anyone else has had this happen to them, wensday next week I have a solicitors appointment, it's still a pretty big screw up on their part though, my wife called vic police and they actually said if I removed the yellow sticker the new defect wouldn't show up on their systems and wouldn't care less, I didn't have my license on me as our friend was in hospital and we were in a rush but when I told him that he didn't even ask me my name, d.o.b, or address

Certainly don't ask the cop - he will just issue another notice with the correct details. Hope you got a name from the cop who advised you to remove the yellow sticker. Solicitor will clarify legal position for you. If you didn't give him your name and address and he has your licence number wrong I wouldn't think it will be a problem. Especially if you are sure that the defect notice is wrong anyway.

If it becomes a problem for the cops my semi educated guess is that they will apply to amend (correct) the notice. Everything is weighted in favour of the police who make mistakes all the time.

Yeap, and then they will most likely make sure the inspection is, lets say, extremely thorough.

If I was the cop/traffic authority that's what I would do.

Just clear the defect and frame it for posterity.

I had a collection of them in my youth.

Or fight it, but keep uninformed.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
