Hi guys. I was looking on the VicRoads website to find out what sorta s**t is defectable but dont seem to find much stuff.

Is a BOV defectable in Victoria? I was told by a buddie that it can be. What other things that most ppl put on their 'lines can be defectable by coppers? I dont want to get my 'line and then get it canaried as soon as it hits the roads.

Thanks dudes/dudettes

Atmo venting Bov's are defectable...

Mine is atmo but looks like a plumb back (which is legal), there is a return hose attched to mine that when u follow it actually goes to nowhere and is blocked at the end...

Other defects:

Guages, depending on where they are mounted.

Neons, all of them. Especially blue and red.

Loud exhaust, ie over 90db.

Lowering, ie lower than 10cm from any part of the car.

Load ratings on wheels. ie having to light a load rating wheel on your car.

I also heard you can get defected just for having a vanity plate that declares in any way that you are an innocent person... :)

u either have the noise, which the cops can hear.. 'cause if they pull you over to defect you, they'll get u on something...

or you keep it standard noise, and get same performance.

Best thing is to have an adjustable one which u can turn the "pshhh" noise up or down on when you want to.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
