Well... Tonight was interesting...

We were at Maccas at Springwood sitting, chatting. Next thing 3 cop cars pull in and a Department of Transport (DOT) car. Hrm me thinks..

So the boys walk away from me .. tell me to get into the car... I'm thinking "There not going to stop a chick.. surely!"

HAHA *BUZZ* wrong answer.

Looked over the engine. Asked if we had recently bought the car, I say, yeah three months ago. They asked if we had done anything to it since we got it. I say No.

Then he asks me to pop the bonnet. I do this while being nice to him. While they were looking under the bonnet I quickly switched the scanner off and hid the turbo timer (I will explain why later).

I got a defect notice for the ... I still can't stop laughing "Turbo Whistle"... NOW .. what the ****... is a "Turbo Whistle".. i know what a BOV is... but a Turbo Whistle. (comments were made later that i should have said the Blitz wasn't connected cause we still have the standard one on too)

Thats the only thing i got defected for.

Question...

What is the easiest and quickest way to remove the BOV for the day and then put it back on?? Maybe this might be the chance we need to actually fix the two BOV situation..

Also.. are turbo timers illegal?? I have heard that they are? Can anyone clarify this??

A white Skyline and a black 300zx(I think?) with what looked like a full veilside(sp?) kit.

Turned or Beenleigh Rd on to Logan Rd, heading towards Springwood. I ran a red one to catch up then passed you and pulled up at a red light and had a run with the other car.

As I turned off I had my arm waving madly out the window.

My car is stock (pod) 2 door Silver R33.

Buggered if I was looking at number plates.

I live in the area and see the cops cruise the Macc's car park at Springwood all the time so I dont go there.

Do you have a bigger pic of your car?

In no way does it make the car emmit more toxic fumes or anything else.

I don't think turbo timers themselves are illegal...

but I think it IS illegal to leave your car running while you're not in it?

Whats the easiest way to remove the blitz one??

Take it off and put a plate over the hole?

Get a new piece of pipe...?

Can any of this be thrown back on the car yard for selling a defected vehicle??

Why wouldn't a safety cert of a road worthy pick it up if its a defect???

If you are parked somewhere and you see the police coming, just lock your car up and walk away. They have no right to ask you to come back to your car for an inspection or search if you are not with your car at the time.

The rutbo timer thing....some trucks come out of the factory with them..I'd look into that, I don't think it's a defect.

Regards, Andrew.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
