Steve, We spoke to Reno at Welshpool, he sets all the rules, and he said they were legal:D It's just the same as echausts, if there too loud thenyou can get a yellow for them:D

Thats funny that pits nite the other week Reno said BOV's are legal only if they DONT vent to the atmosphere. same with oil catch cans

and dosnt matter how big ya zaust is as long as it reads lower than the db level for that particular car and year and isnt lower than 100mm of the ground and dosnt interfere with the effiency of the cat convertor ie cat heats up to the correct temp so to burn nox gasses....

lol @ butters...

thats why i went to the info night.. to stop chinese whispers!! looks like it'll always be around!! :)

apart from all this - i wouldn't bother with permits until you get done.. reno himself said if we don't know about it or don't notice it - why tell us.. tho in not so many words.. :)

Hhahahah, yeah its not like it costs us 50 dollars or something for one visit and then 30 dollars for the next, let them pull you over and yellow sticker you, cause hey its all free, and we all have time to do it. Stupid tossers, just keep your car standard, its where the action is.

RB20 - it won't cost you the $50 if the yellow isn't warranted. If they can't fault the car when you take it to the pits they don't charge you and notify the offending police officer of his incorrect application of the yellow sticker...

Well thats what he said anyways..

If i ever get stickered for my BOV ill just stick my standard one back on again, take it down the pits, get the yellow off, put turboXs bov back on (because its quieter anyway) and keep driving the streets.

It may vent to atmosphere, but at least it doesnt go "whoosh" with every miniscule movement of the acellerator pedal.... its got mitsubishi symbol on the side of the stock bov, maybe its that :D

Seeing as you have no idea who your talking about best you be quiet.

Reno Marchesi is head of Welshpool licensing.

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
