sorry to hear about your defect.

with the eboost. try putting in a restrictor and unhooking the solenoid+controller for the eboost until it gets off defect.

and for the tt, if the timer has a harness to it, then just unhook it from the harness.

btw, what did you go in for in the first place? ride height?

to my knowledge your not alowed to have your number plate on the side it must be centered

if you have a number plate relocation kit fitted it will be oka but if not then ur gonna have to put it back in the centre.

Boost controller & turbo timer need to be removed, or they will send you packing until they are. This includes any evidence that they were installed. Give it a go with them "disconnected" if you like, but you are highly unlikely to pass unless you get a laid back inspector.

Numberplate 100% has to be centred as well.

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust? They checked the dB of mine and lucky mine was quiet so they let me pass. had to rev the engine to 3,000 RPM. I also put the stock airbox in to lower the noise.

They also checked my hicas lines etc, Upper control arms (always the 1st thing they check on the 32), and Radius Rods (castor). They'd do the same to your car

Also make sure all the lights, demisters are working or they'll reem u 4 it.

Do you have an eye level rear brake light?

TT- just disconnect the interface and hide the harness, pretty sure if the popo didnt see it, regency wouldnt check for it. That's if you hid it

Ill be more than happy to go through things with ya, just PM me. (ive been through regency quite a lot haha)

According to the ADR's the exhaust is supposed to be tested with them standing on the side of the road at a 45 deg angle with u driving past at a set speed. Go ask them to show u in the ADR book how it says to test. Not with the sound probe up the exhaust like im guessing your was?

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
