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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
