Defected!!!

[NismoGirl]

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!

Hahaha, cost you anything ? I still would have told him I didn't know what the defect referred to so unless he could find it I'd assume the officer was grosely mistaken

Cost me nothing

I didn't get a fine.. only the defect notice

im glad i hopfully will never have this prob..

my blitz bov is right under my std. airbox intake, which will stay there when i get my A'pexi filter and custom carbon airbox

you gotta look really hard to find the bov if u dont know its there.. and i still have my old one on.. :uh-huh:

If it was a truck inspection place and he didnt know what he was doing working with a turbo car then he shouldnt be working there. A lot of trucks use a big fat turbo setup.

Hype, you planning on constructing that carbon box yourself or buying one pre-made ? exactly what I'm looking for at the moment... Also Mighty does have a point, then again I got a mate who works on Toyota's all day and wouldn't know **** about Nissan's .....

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.

Amen

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