i actually believe that they do indeed check ur plates on their computer before they pull you over. Cant be a co-incidence that it happened twice in one night.

Youre absolutely right they do check ur number plates, if you've been defected they will pull you over even after you have had the defect cleared. MY advice to you after you have the defect cleared either get a peronalized number plate or sell your car. sorry for the harsh reality.

If a turbo timer was essential for turbo life Nissan would have incorporated it in as a factory item.

They dont include the turbo timer because its against the ADRs. Turbo Timers are only allowed on vehicles with a GCM of greater than 4.5 tonne.

There's no comparison between a car and a truck.

A truck is constantly up its turbo, simply turning off the motor WILL coke the oil lines. In a car that most of the time isn't boosting hard, its not an issue.

No doubt if there was a reliability issue in passenger vehicles the ADR's would have it incorporated.

The tt's fitted to the trucks also have to meet ADR's.

So really.. Its not just a turbo timer, its a turbo timer designed to meet ADR's. :P

The intended use of cars doesn't warrant a turbo timer.

I got defected yesterday in my R32, driving along doing NOTHING, bike cop pulled me over and defected me for too loud, and too low. The cop was nothing but an arogant w*nker on a power trip......

I dont see why they should defect a car when it is driving normally, fair enough id expect a defect if i was doing something stupid, but this is just bull s**t.!

thats unlucky.... i was speeding stupidly so i asked for it. 306rwkw.... you will have a fair few parts to un bolt off that power house!

I just hope that they dont single out imports and treat commonhoes and ford farm cars the same!

Thirtythree-II,

I got pulled over several years ago after just leaving my wifes work place and got checked for excessive noise running the same system as you except i had a dump pipe and race cat,and my reading came in 3db under what the sgt had on his form that was supposed to be the spec's for a ser II.( I might add that a stationary test like i had to perform doesnt comply with the adr's that stipulate that the vehicle must drive past a test device at a steady 60km's per hr in 4th gear and the the test device must be placed at 45 degrees to the path of the vehicle and be 'x' no of meters away from it!

Thirtythree,

I dont think it will make much difference to the over all volume of sound, however probably will give a deeper throaty growl on full song!

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
