the sad part is there are rusted out bombs that are blowing smoke getting around yet the coppers will pick on someone who puts better lights in their car so that they can see better at night.

I think that our regulations governing roadworthiness leave a lot to be desired. It seems that Lately all that the coppers are targetting is japanese imports.

But ah well that wont scare me out of making my car the way i want it as long as it is not a danger to me or anyone else.

Satanic, I do understand your statement of "you must remember that they are just LIGHTS!!! It is not going to kill anyone nor pollute the environment in anyway.", but it doesn't matter what state your in with the compliancing rules for any car. The RAWS have to follow these compliancing guidelines/rules to make sure the cars (in this case R34's) meet the ADR's.

In the case of the xenon's in the R34's, RAWS have to remove and dispose of the xenon units, then show proof of removal and disposal of those units with pics or a full inspection. I'm in Qld and the story of removing the xenon units is the same.

So where did you get your xenon units for your car Satanic?

svd164, I didn't know that it was a uniform rule throughout Australia.

I got the xenons on my car from the place where I got the car... the way I got them was the same as the way I told everyone above: by going to a car importer that does their own compliancing (add a little cash incentive, and then a direct swap with an un-complied car). I won't post who did it, but yeah basic concept.

The only way they could tell if every single xenon unit was destroyed would be to take down serial numbers which I don't think the units have.

This RAWS thing to me is a little bit flawed... but I'm still learning, maybe there is a legitimate reason why they have to do it.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.

      Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I could do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free. It's only about 50L per year, but that's ~$100. A few extra pizzas is always welcome. Note that I have a record of every tank of fuel that has ever gone through my car except for a handful put in by someone else, like my mechanic. I can show you the difference between stock RB20 and tuned RB20, stock RB5Neo and tuned, winter and summer fuel blends, winter and summer fuel blends when the ambient temperature is not appropriate for the blend, working O2 sensor, blown O2 sensor, boosting f**k out of it and frightened to boost it because it is pinging, and so on. OK, I probably can't do all that now with 100% clarity - but at the time when any of those things were in event, you could see it in the records. There's 25+ years of simple tank after tank records, so you have to look for landmarks to work out approximately how old any single record is. What's really important is the meta data and that lives in my head.
