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.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
