Doh defect.....

[R33Dan]

Got my first defect on friday night, the melbourne cops are up here at albury/wodonga at the moment so they actually/half know what there talkin about compared to the local cops. I got done for bov, boost controller, fmic and pod they didnt see the apexi power fc can you get done for that and i was lucky as i have no cat but my exhaust isnt too loud which is good :-(

good old police academy:D:D

[prae]

they didnt see the apexi power fc can you get done for that

Yes, you get done for having an aftermarket ECU..Affects emissions (same reason for a boost controller) and so are illegal in Vic, unsure if it is in NSW though..

Bad luck mate, but it was alright considering they didn't get you for the PFC or the cat (or lack thereof~)

[VL-TRBO-RB20]

its bullsh!t tho, correct me if im wrong or dont know what im talking about, we have better emmissions with a turbo than with a NA car... so if we have an aftermarkey ECU or boost controler we'll have the same emitions as them? or is it different emmitions all together?

[adznight]

No see the issuse with an aftermarket ECU is the fact that your altering the Air/Fuel. When most tuners chage your maps the smooth them out and generaly the car runs richer, especialy in high boost applications etc. When you alter the A/F your producing more gasses from your exhaust. Thats why it's an EPA issue.

[R33Dan]

yeh i hid the pfc controller beside my seat but they asked me what my afc was and i did the old "ummm dunno it was in the car when i got and dont know what it does"

i hate these so called random checks on high performance imports its funny i have never ever seen a random falcodore or commonwhore check.....

cops!!!

[Sinista32]

My GTR has recently had two full inspections by the RTA QLD (Passed) and another one in the ACT in the last few months. Zorst is the only thing I changed to pass ACT. It's modded fairly well but is safe and passed the emissions test. However frightned if the CF bonnet is lifted by the VIC/NSW police. BoV's, Catch Can, C west wing, CF bonnett, EVC III, torque n drag controllers, pods, FMIC, PFC etc.

If a car is passed in other states whats the go on Random vehicle inspections interstate. I'd be classed as a smart arse if I reason that it's fine where I'm from. Do I go back to ACT or are you required to get it passed in the state which has the problem? Do the cops re-imburse the inspection fee's if they're wrong. Presenting an engineers cert help?

BTW - I drive it every day in Canberra and have not been harrased by the local police or RTA.

Dan they actually have a nice thick book with every japanese aftermarket part in it, even aussie ecu's n stuff - so they know exactly what they are looking at

the tmu guys come upto wodonga all the time now cos of reasons i wont divuldge on here

i hope they dont stick around when i get my car back... i could prob get defected for 10 - 20 things atleast

[KamikazeR33]
