dave

1.body kits, can they get through?

2.front mount intercooler, whats the real go on these?

3.intake piping with aftermarket BOV adapter welded shut?

4.cold air intake? just a pipe that goes from the front of the front bar to the pod filter

5.inner guards? do you need them?

1. If the lowest point to the ground is above 100m, and its secured well, yes.

2. As long as the job is neat they tend to turn a blind eye. All secure parts etc.

3. No aftermarket BOV. All std emission gear must be fitted, aftermarket one can be welded so its fine.

4. CAI - hmm...havent heard of anyone being done for this, but pod must be secured to inner guard. Might be best to remove cai just for the inspection. Pod is fine.

5. Yes. big yes.

Basically have as much std gear on it as possible (except the ic) and u should be fine.

well we were out cleaning our cars at BP regency park and then a cop came along when we were drying it off. he did a registration check and then it all started from there.

i just went pass there again today and they seem to have a marked cop car just there parking waiting to defect anyone that comes in.

thanks bl4ck32, i have a few more questions on behalf of nosman

1. what would be the best solution to make the exhaust more quiet without having to put a standard exhaust on? the exhaust is a turbo back, 3" all the way through with no cat. as it already needs a cat, would the piping need to be changed? as in smaller piping?

2. the car has GTR front guards, so the inner guards from the original gtst were ripped off. would you need GTR inner guards to fill it or would a gtst one fit?

3. the previous owner cut a hole for one side of the intercooler piping to go through on the left hand side under the washing bottle. that would need to be patched up wouldn't it?

4. eye lids and dirty head lights, i'm guessing the eye lids must be removed, but what about a foggy head light? would that pass?

5. number plates are located on the side at the front, would you pass with this? if not; relocating the number plates to the middle will leave holes in the bumper. do these holes need to be patched up?

thats about all i can think of for now. sorry for the stupid/silly questions, just want to get it right as much as possible before heading to regency, although we might have to visit them a second time.

thanks in advance!

cheers,

dave

1. U can get 3" cats, so when he gets it fitted u will have a 3" flange after the cat. You can get a std system to bolt on after the cat for the inspection (exhaust technology rent them out i think), or have the muffler at the rear cut (same time the cat is fitted) and a flange welded on to slap a std muffler on for the test then just refit his muffler.

2. The gtst inner guards will fit, just need to weld a bit of steel to close the gap to the outer guards.

3. As long as holes are neat, they tend to disregard (so ive heard very recently) so make sure it looks nice, and its painted.

4. They check globes are working but shouldnt care about headlights being dirty unless they are really bad.

5. nope. std centre location required. Holes should be fine.

Even if he has all of these fixed, be prepared for other items to be looked at. All bushes, brakes, suspension, seats being loose, wheel bearings etc. They generally try make u come back fer a 2nd time, so dont stress too much the first time through.

go to marky at ET and get him to stuff steel wool in the exhaust, then so to regency and get your list cause if you go back within 6 months they cant get you for anything else.

EASIEST way and you might get away with a few things

yea I saw that too so I steered away from that joint and made my way down to the ottoway BP. Not suprisingly a marked cop car was there...

Sorry to hi-jack your thread mate, but does anyone know if oil catch cans are legal (not venting)

I got through with a side mounted plate. the official law is 20cm off the ground and clearly visable. you can take you car through regency un rego'd, so i spose you dont technically need plates.

but cops are c**ts and dont know what they are doing, so they told me it was illegal when i got defected.

Evo 9's, some alpha romeos, torago's and a few other cars come out std with side mounted plates, all on the drivers side though, dunno if that means anything.

good luck with it mate

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
