The difference is that i have an engineers certificate for the bov modifications and for my oil catch can...

So i dont need to prove anything. All i need to do is produce the certification of the modifications and if the cop wont accept it then id take the ticket and go to the transport dept.

Anyways...

There is nothing i can do to make you feel better.

Im glad you are copping it on the chin and I hope your making steps to fix your defects.

Otherwise next time your pulled over they will check the same items...

Yeah im actualy not that worried about it,the defects will be fixed, cause mine is a daily driver.Oh by the way i havent been pulled over more fo more than two years

do you know of any engineers? im will need one for a few other things im lookin into.Any ideas how much its worth?

lol..

yeah, there's heaps of room for a battery in the engine bay of a 33 ;)

Not in mine there isn't

But the fact it is, it come out from the factory like that so how can the defect you. If they didn't want them in the boot the should of moved the battery to the front of the car when they complied it

Just roll up to your local import workshop...

Most who do motor conversions and transmission mods have an engineer abord their crew...

I had mine done by my father in-law whom is a mechanical engineer by trade and have an LB1/3/4/7 licience. Which covers all aspects of a motor car or motorbike and a few more which he will not need again.

He is an air bag and bullbar designer to be more specific...

what did you get defeated for R334door ??

too loud which i thought it was ,oil catch can not hooked in,same deal with bov,tinted windows which were on the car when i bought it and not havin tyre placard,never had one on it !! anyway...

i'm trying to think of an illegal modification to my car... i can't think of one off the top of my head...?

i learnt my lesson when i was defected for one side of my front bar being 5mm too low (had a GTR front bar, that was slightly lower on one side for some reason?) and also had a parking light out that had just blown.

i felt a bit jibbed that they picked on those items, but they were defective, so i guess i had to cop it on the chin.

but the lesson to be learned i guess is make sure you're complying with the laws when you're modifying the car, and all will be sweet... you may still get defected, but you'll be able to get them cleared without any hassles.

what exatly does the filter on your BOV filter out Col?

I dont know...

All you need to do is read the legals on the topic at hand and interperate the legal meaning of this statement.

By filtering the air leaving the BOV you are filling the requirements of the law...

i was joking.. ;) = sarcasam

Im glad you mention that Jason...

To measure noise level the noice must be able to be clearlly heard for a time greater than 11 seconds...

In other words you cannot measure a BOV...

When the police measure the DB on your exhaust they have to measure the level for no less than 15 seconds to make a booking...

When being fined for speeding the police need to target the car for no less than 20 metres...

There are always loop holes...

Proof...

Air brakes...

Trailer brakes vent excess pressure via a BOV they produce similar noises and can be activated at a standstill...

Do they get a fine???

Always a loop hole... Just dont be a smart arse about it, until you know your right and your speaking to the right people.

NOTE: Your average 40ft trailer has up to 4 vents for over pressure...

you can get a engineer to approve disabling emissions equipment??? :O if you get defected for that and fight it, the engineer might end up in a whole lot of bother...

the reason an atmo BOV is illegal is the air can contain pollutants (hydrocarbons and the like) from the crankcase (via the PCV) that are not legally allowed to be vented to atmosphere - they have to be burnt and passed through the cat. it has nothing to do with being filtered on the way out. filtering does not remove any emissions or make it legal.

my car has atmo bov's too, but good luck to any police trying to see them!

oh, and trucks don't come under the light vehicle rules mate

oh, and trucks don't come under the light vehicle rules mate

Never said they did...

The point was they make just as much noise... You could easilly argue the point...

Trucks/Cars/Motor bikes all need to be lower the 91db as per QLD transport regulations...

Also as previouslly stated a noise must be measured for no less than 11 seconds to be legal as a noise pollution test...

So how exactlly can they book anyone for noise pollution from a BOV???

As for a plumb back setup the majority of the charged air goes back throught the air filter not downstream.

But i have a good understanding on how and why. Its all about whos got the strongest case in court if it needs to go that far.

So as long as it is filtered what else can they do you for???

But a good place to start with is dont attract un-nessary attention to youself. Also if u do salary packaging for the QLD Police they dont pull you over. :thumbsup:

didnt you mean donut packing??

:thumbsup:

So anyways im not saying i know everything or anything... But yeah just sharing my thoughts...

I just want the car to be legal so i dont have to go through that situation again.i went to a few ppl today and cant find a local engineer.

Anyone know of any on the sunshine coast?

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
