with the noise issue, those bikeys piss me off the most cos they have much louder bikes than any import car i've heard on the street (cept maybe screamer pipes). why dont these people get defected?

also, ask around to borrow a stock airbox and bov and just use them when u take it to the rta

Easiest way!

btw I have a stock airbox & bov lying around somewhere if you need to borrow one

EPA will test for emmisions

EPA will test for noise level as well (As can most exhaust shops)

To clear the other issues, you will most likely need a complete AUVIS inspection? (Blue slip)

Just make them happy, and it's all schweet.

Also pods are legal on any car as long as they are enclosed. And if the copper ever wants to see what air filter I'm running, he's more then welcome to pull my air box apart and put it back together. But I hope he's carrying tools...

Also, if you get defected for BOV or POD etc, fix it, and KEEP IT FIXED! The history stays on your car, and when they write out your notice, they research what has been defected before on the car!

sounds like a lot of bullshit to me . damn cops are assholes - bust you for anything these days . i lost my license like 4 months ago for speeding , and at the time they didnt even check my car - lol. i was more worried about them seeing en exposed pod filter and intercooler. but luckly enough they didnt check anything - thinking they were more conecerntrated on the speeding .

hearing this wants me to put my pod in my front bumper - if its easy enough to do. aslo what is the reason to get defected for an intercooler? are they illegal in every state ? i hear one state has either a pod of fmic regulation - not sure which 1.

I actually have a copy of the Australian ADR's (which is what the cops use to defect you) and I've been meaning to look into printing specific sections around these items (BOV, Pod, etc) but the program is quite user un-friendly.

Anyone with a high speed connection want to have a look through it for me? I think it's about 250mb for the program, would love to have some help finding the specific sections on this should I ever need to confront a cop with the info, would certainly put them in their place!

yes id like to know also what d3ltr33 is asking if u dont mind

i have been pulled over 4 times since i bought my 33 (6 months) and not once have they asked to open the bonnet (knock on wood... i prob just jinxed myself)

but yeah from what i can see, if your not driving a habib-mobile with severely lowered springs big chrome wheels and loud ass exhaust etc usually it is ok

imo it goes by how the officer feels and his first impressions are.

All 4 times i was with my wife and not doing anything wrong and yes im still young only 23

Chris,

What u mean plumbed back? I do have an oil catch can but I do not understand your posting. Plumbed back to??????

Cheers,

EUG...

PS. Chris I wish you could go trough my car and tell me all the wrong ones? Why we can not have a meeting..where we meet and get each other opinion..with what could be wrong before a cop pull his nose in???? Is that a bad idea? Like opinion nite?

ive had my car for over 2 years now... im yet to be pulled over... ive been followed a few times... i have actually had people listening in on the cop radio message me saying im being followed :)

dunno why they never pull me over... i did once take a person to court for being a lieing scumbag, and cause it was a traffic offence, the police had to turn up...

glad you got off :) coulda made a good night pretty shit ;)

I had 2 choices when getting my car engineered for the zorst.change to stock and pass the db test with flying colours or leave the sports on.if the zorst is to loud,and you want to keep it then you have to throw a silencer welded into place into the muffler tip.it cant just be bolted back into place i was told,because it can be removed.same goes for bov.i was going to buy the gfb hybrid bov but had been told by the same engineer that that he wont pass it unless it completely plumbs back into the system.

I passed emissions with fmic & bov.Guilt toy passed with over 330rwkw.so it can be done.you just have to follow some of the guidelines

the gfb (black) stealth plumback series is great looking as it makes the car look stock,serves a purpose and is completely legal.they cost a pretty penny tho.if you buy the whole kit with the plumback pipe kit you are looking prolly at $450-$500.tho they cost less without the plumback kit..buy the bov,go to supercheap and buy radiator hose (1976-79 ford falcon fairlane 8cyl top hose) that will fit the 40mm bov outlet.Then size it up for fitment.then cut the stock plumback metal pipe back far enough to suit. and u will cut out the gradual "S" bend in it.Then make your own reducer out of a smaller hose,put that over the newly cut metal pipe and fit the new pipe over the reducer and clamp it down tightly on both ends.

If you buy the extra plumback kit/pipes the bov will stand out like dogs balls still with all of the silver peices.at least this kit it looks well hidden and like it should be a part of the engine bay.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
