$28 gets you 5 items, can get multiple permit sheets.....

they shouldnt be giving anyone permits for exhausts, if you got one your a lucky man, theres a ridiculous amount of inconsistency within the perth pits regarding inspecting and permitting

It's the DB that makes the Zorst illegal.

Cop measured mine. Said they dont permit them FULL STOP.

Too easy for you to go round corner and change it. Even though that goes for everything on your car :|

As Mayhem said, loop hole so they always got something to sticker you for.

Well guys i can tell you that I HAVE got a permit for my exhaust, he didn't test it, just listened to it and allowed it... I have a Blitz BOV which vents to atmo and i have a permit for that...

I think i can scan in my permit for the non-believers...

Butters: I got mine through Welshpool pits...

I think we believe you dude..... its an example of the inconsistency and flexability of the DOT and interperataions of ADRs

I wouldnt scan it, Id laminate it and make sure its safe.

as for bovs how is it you can vent crank case gas atmo through a bov but need to recirculate it to burn it? I got teh ADRs on CD coming

Who is We vspec? do you suffer from psychitsophrenia?

Mayhem is right.

BOV's are technically illegal by the laws of emissions. Once Air has entered the engine via filter, legally(emissions laws) the only way it can leave is through the exhaust.

If you got a permit for one, or have been told they are legal then it is the "inDUHviduals" interpretation.

We beleive you Met-Blue. Just want some of this permit goodness for ourselves :) hehehehe

I am out to Welshpool soon I thinx. Can you tell me which guy you spoke to ??

Butters and Mr Mayhem - all laws are up for interpretation.. Reno who is effectively the godfather of the pits and inspections for WA (so I'm led to believe) says that BOV's are legal as long as they are not too loud. Same goes for exhausts and the like. Basically he was saying that they had flexibility and as long as you hadn't done anything overly stupid you could get a permit for it.

Paul isn't crazy - he meant we as in a group of us that went to the info session.

Apparently cause I'm an engineer I can sign off on design mods. I'm sure I can find evidence somewhere to say that carbon fibre bonnets are ok.. :D

    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
