Well. I think I did the best thing I could have possibly done. I went to Darra and it was actually a Truck inspection site so they didn't really know what they were doing.

SO...

I handed him the slip... He said that I needed to take him for a drive around the block to check it. BUT there were two trucks in front of me and only 30 minutes till knock off time.

So he took the defect slip.. Asked me to pop the bonnet. I think he tried to catch me out here saying that he didn't know where hte BOV's were.. could i show him.. So as the mechanic that I am.. I showed the inspector where the standard BOV is and showed him the one we took off sitting in the back seat.

Then asked me to rev it. So I revved it to 3grand and then let of slowely so it didn't make a noise and thats it.. I drove away!

And thats my exciting trip to DOT!

I was told its now illegal to have a bov that breaths out externally, it has to be plumbed back into the cars air filter.

they say its for noise reasons, but how is it that busses do the same thing at sound levels which cause your ears to bleed.

Atmo venting BOV's have always been illegal. They alter the air/fuel ratio as well as the noise associated.

    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions. 
    • I like your thinking! Looking forward to see how it turns out.
    • You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.
    • So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!
