Stealth Turbo

[Kyosho]

Where are you getting your information from?

Im pretty sure its just 7 points which is your license gone (red p's=4 and green p's=7points thats why its 7)

How do you then get fined for uninsured and un-regoed? Has nothing to do with anything.

If you're driving a restricted vehicle, it is classified as unregd, and uninsured.

It all comes from the fact, that your insurance (Even green slip) is null and void if you're driving a restricted vehicle. If you have no green slip, you have no rego.
Therefore, unregd, uninsured.

I also read somewhere on the RTA site if you're driving a restricted vehicle, they deem it unregd.

Well after reading on some forums the insurance is more than likely void, but i just dont know about getting aditional fines. Im not saying your wrong just want to read it.

nah this is incorrect, they cant classify it as uninsured if it is infact insured nor the rego part. i think you may have misread it or been given incorrect info.

if you can find the extract on the rta site i would believe you but till then id have to call bullshit.

Haha love the fake turbo whistler!!

After receiving the whistler, please tighten every nut and bolt you see on it with a box-type wrench. You don't want to accidentally loosen up and fall apart.

I'd hate to loosen up and fall apart, better go tighten my nuts now lol. Anyone got a box wrench?

Linden: An easy way: Read the conditions of your green slip.
Then read the conditions of registering a vehicle with said greenslip.

You'll find having no greenslip = no rego.

Edit: Jak: It is only against performance modifications towards the engine.
Rims, body kit, paint, stereo, suspension, all legal. ( as long as you keep it all approved)

awsome.

mr22zz, i got that part but i cant find it on the website. kyosho answered the question tho.

that i understand, but if the car is regoed they CANT book you for unregistered/uninsured.

if you where drive it home for a mate they could book you for driving the car but not for anything else.

as stated find an extract or stop quoting something you dont have the facts on.

i have a mate thats a cop, would you like me to ask him and get him to answer?

if u read through all those rules guys u will see that there is a lot up for "interpretation" .... by whom u say ? ..... well the fella thats got u pulled over ..... i dropped the ADR doc's under a legal friends nose and they argued with me based on whats document both a for and against arguement for a lot of the things ..... there is a reason y this is the case ..... if they wanna screw u they will and can ..... not many ppl will know all these in's and out's and know how to work through all the documents and build their own case ..... and do this on the spot while being intimidated by the boys in blue ...... also have u guys read these doc's .... no offence but ur average joe car enthusiast is not gona understand a word given the nature of the language used in some of them.

just my 2c worth

hi
Is it possible to hide a turbo(s) successfully to the point of only being able to see them from beneath, thus greatly reducing the chance of police finding them? also is there a way to silence them or reduce generic turbo noise? (P Plater lol)

thanx

Just fit one of these

Hey why not do a stealth nitrous install instead. It'd be easier to hide, give you similar or better performance (I think a 150 shot would wake the old camry up a bit), easier to fit/maintain than a turbo and blow the doors off all your mates cars. (provided you don't torque steer into a tree on the launch).

Nitrous is also banned/illegal for street use, but f**k it, if you're going to break the law, void insurance and possible kill yourself anyway you might as well do it with gas!*

Anything is possible, i have seen footage of a twin turbo DC2 Integra with both turbo's down the back of the car near the rear wheels, (Americans will do anything to be different)

But as a P plater the best thing to do would be getting the car to handle and stick to the road before you start looking at go fast bits. you will have just as much fun at slower speeds believe it or not.

[Squid]

To answer the original question a lot of the bigger modified yank trucks seem to mount the turbo right up the rear... like just before the rear muffler.

Also the GT8 has two turbos that you would be hard put to find if you didn't know their location...

Edit I dont reccomend doing this... as a p plater you should buy a shitter and learn to work on it. Save your pennies then when you are on your full's you have more $$$ to get a better car... don;t sink money into that car.
