Unlucky mate, did you get the standard BOV when you purchase the car ? If so just fit that one on, cause all aftermarket BOV that vents into the atmosphere are illegal. I think you can get permits for the neons now days, correct me if im wrong. And yeah get yourself some decent rubbers dont want to be power drifting on a wet day all over the road haha.

Neons are legal, provided you only see the glow/hue of them, if you can see the light source itself when they are on, you need to fix that up..

bov, provided its not too loud should pass

tyres are tyres, if they are legal go over the pits with them

as for the parcel shelf, provided there has been no steel cut out of it, should be fine, if it has had steel cut out, its a 10k fine for wheoever did it if its a shop, and i think you may be liable for a fine if it was you..

easiest thing to do is run it over the pits and see what they say, 90% of stickers are just time wasters

ahh... unlucky dude,

I had neon’s on my old car they were blue, got over the pits no worries and got permits. Just make sure there secured properly, tubes aren’t visible, are on a separate switch which has an inline fuse on it.

Not sure about BOVs i think there legal if there not too loud or vent into the atmosphere.

Good Luck at the pits, hope all goes well.

I agree with Wildcat i thought that red neons were not legal...

Not 100% sure on that though.

ATMO BOV's are definitely not legal. Chuck the stocker back on, if you do not have it chuck a post up. One of the fine folk on the forums will lend you one.

the reason they didnt do you for pod is because pod filters are legal nopermit is required refer ei-107a fro dpi

EI-107A

Vehicle Safety Branch Examiner’s Instruction

Vehicle Intake and Exhaust Systems

Pre ADR 27C Vehicles

There is evidence to suggest that many ‘hang-on’ emission control devices for these vehicles

are no longer available from original equipment manufacturers and/or spare parts suppliers.

This applies to vehicles manufactured prior to 31 January 1986.

Taking into consideration the non-availability of emission control components, examiners do

not need to insist on original equipment emission control systems being intact.

Consequently vehicle examiners do not need to issue a modification permit for exhaust

extractors.

It is also unnecessary to issue a modification permit for non-genuine air filters providing

induction noise is not excessive. These include cone or pod type filters.

Not withstanding the above, vehicles must continue to comply with the Road Traffic (Vehicle

Standards) Rules 2002 with respect to the emission of smoke.

Post ADR 37 Vehicles

Vehicles manufactured from 1 February 1986 must continue to comply with the applicable

design rule for the year of manufacture (Australian Design Rule 37/00, 37/01, 79/00 or

79/01).

Catalytic converters and other emission control devices must be retained and functioning

correctly. However where exhaust extractors are fitted a modification permit is not required.

It is also unnecessary to issue a modification permit for non-genuine air filters providing

induction noise is not excessive and that all engine management sensors are fitted and

operating. These include cone or pod type filters.

Yeah I have read that red and blue neons were illegal as those colours are reserved for emergency vehicles (think there was a thread previously about it).

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
