Yes Noise polution is the only thing that makes a BOV illegal, Which sucks and blows.

Like SA you can have a POD as long as it does not move but here in NSW you can have one as long as you can see it ( BOXED IN) stupid and this is because it increases noise either out the pod or the exhaust.

My 2 cents

Hence why mine is completely enclosed .... bashtards.... even the RTA guy said quietly "just cop that one cause its easier than a lot of others he asked me to write up"....lol

Yeh but if u have a quiet one they tell you its emissions they dont give you the same answer twice which is what makes it frustrating for performance car owners cause everyone gets done for diff things even though there cars are the same..

It doesnt seem to matter if u bother gettin it engineered you can still get done so gay.

lol.... I know... my exhaust is way under the 90db or whateva it is... I think it was the forward facing plenum that got me :) or the map sensor on the firewall which they didn't notice :cheers: , or if they did they didn't mention it ! Quite surprised that I aint being sent to the RTA to clear the defects!

Meh lesson learnt, engineered or not... stay out of Newcastle at night :D

the whole two standards thing with the cops last nite is completely true some of you guys that posted before me talking about the contaminated brake fluid or watever is not even a real reason i personally think but to defect you for such a bogus reason ant let people like my mate with his L200 ute with no side mirrors, no hi beam, and is lower than pauline hansons self esteem, is crap his car is 99.9% bog too and u cant have more than one person in it if u dont want to scrub out continuously, so i dont know whats going on i guess some of the police down there had a heart and knew the true evil of what they were doing and decided to make a few little differences

my mate also asked the cop that let him go if he could buy him a carton of beer lol, he refused....

aren't most defects fairly trivial?

pod, bov, loose floor mats...

I wouldn't call a high mount turbo setup, any custom manifolds or even an EPA emissions test trivial.

That is some heavy work to get those engineered and passed 'after' a defect. Especially if you have to go back to the pits to get it cleared for the first two.

Do you bolt your floor mats down so that you can't get defected for "loose floor mats"? :bunny:

Sounds ridiculous to me. Getting targetted when you are not the ones misbehaving. And the fact that the application of the "law" is so inconsistent only makes it all the more frustrating for those who modify their cars as the goal-posts keep moving and some cops just write whatever they want on the sticker anyway.

how can three diff states have 3 diff rulings

Because the government management of roads is state-based, not national.

On the plus side, it has traditionally meant that if you got done for speeding in another state you wouldn't lose points off your license.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. BOV's are fitted to AFM cars as an emission device, and blocking them or fitting an atmo one makes a huge difference

They closed that loophole about 10 years ago.

What tha! BOV's are there to vent of boost after WOT to stop it heading back to the turbo causing it to slow and reducing throttle response and in the case of higher boost damage. Venting to the atmo is very illegal and in the case of AFM if it is not vented back it upsets your AFR's and the ECU over fuels the injectors. Blocking them off is only if you want "fully sik flutter" :P

Having an atmo bov makes f**k all difference, as does an in properly fitted (half arsed box) pod filter.

Your better off using a performance replacement filter for the stock airbox.

Plus it makes it much more legal.

Really? I've picked up infringements in other states, but they're not mentioned when I check the RTA web site for my license details.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
