Yeah I know both those cars, from my area...  umm, in answer to your question though, I think it's just as simple as getting it signed at a mechanic's workshop...

Thanks for that, anyone know were i could take it?? will my local mechanic be ok ??

Not all mechanics do blue slips, almost all do pink slips though. I think if it has a sign saying "Authorised inspection station' or something similar they do blue slips.

cool does anyone know any around the area, apparantly i have to change my exhaust to stock but thats not going to happen, could i get a dodgy done ????

I got pulled over a 3 months ago in my S2 R33.

Got done for exhaust - which the cop picked with his "expert ear" as being too loud.

My Pod which was open (no box) and my atmo BOV.

All i did was went to an authorised inspection station first, asked them what i needed to do to pass for a blue slip and then fixed them.

In the end i made a box for my pod, got a exhaust reading from an exhaust place that does the testing and put in the stock BOV.

I had to get new rear tires as well before he passed me.

But i would suggest you take it to the inspection station first and show him what you have, ask them what it would take to pass and then just make those changes.

Good luck with that. Hope things go well for you.

Just want to get others opinion on this,

when the cop pulled me over he screamed from his car " HEY DICKHEAD STOP THERE " now he called me a dickhead for no reason right ?? i was talkn to my gf and she works for a law firm in the city and she said that i can press charges and possible get him suspended , as he finished with the defect i said to him in a calm manour " i dont like being called a dick head, thats unprofesional" and he just replied with " look at the car you drive " :O

id love to see him without authority ahahaha :P

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
