$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

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By WMDC35 · Posted

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
