we were actually shopping then we came back and saw them with about 5 imports pulled over....so the missus drove it out, played dumb about the exhaust i popped the hood they were looking for boost cont and a bov...found nothing and they were actually good about it, helped when this green wrx decided to be a dick revving it after they pulled him over and i just shook my head cop got a smile on his face lol saw that we werent some hoons lol

Don't you love how they think an EBC + BOV = hoon. Wankers.

When are they going to start taking some of the leathal rust buckets off of the road instead. I know a guy at work that drives around in the biggest POS of a datto 1600 I've ever seen & he's an engineer. Not that he can't afford a better car, just doesn't want to spend money on one.

Dan.

Having not been through a defect station with mine.. How hard do they look for shit?

Not too hard mate,

Looked for a fmic, checked the bov was plumbed in a dnchecked the boost controller. Though if you had anything suss like a bright blue part or coloured vac lines im sure that would change

... i popped the hood they were looking for boost cont and a bov...found nothing ...

Didn't think boost controllers were defectable?

I contacted my insurance company to tell them i'd installed a boost gauge and manual boost controller and they were fine (i.e. i email them my intent and said in the email they better contact me if it's a problem and they never did so i assume it's alright.)

When you say plumbed in do they use torches to check its plumbed in to the inlet pipe? Mine looks as if its all plumbed in but isn't down at the afm to turbo pipe which can't be seen anyway. The bov is blocked using the old coke can trick. lol.

My only real concern is with the catch can setup I have.

I have T'd into the cam cover to plenum hose and run a pipe directly down in to a catch can under the inlet manifold. The PCV is blocked but looks like its connected. The passenger side cam cover's breather uses the std piping route to the inlet pipe but again isn't connected instead routing to another catch can. Its all using the std nissan hose clamps, brass t piece is smoothed and painted black so doesn't really stand out.

Time will tell I guess. :rofl:

webng,

The insurance companies are all good with modifications but they 'assume' the mods you have are adr approved. That being its on your back to have them engineered. If not well when push comes to shove..... Your shoved out the door. :)

Bugger.

I guess it comes down to how well they know the cars. :S

Next time its on the dyno I might pull them out and see exactly how much black mist its pushing out and then decide if I will 100% plumb them back in or not.

Last time I couldn't see anything but might be worth taking a better look. There's no oil but that doesn't mean there's no mist oil shit that doesn't get caught by the catch can setup.

As for next dyno.. It appears the gtr cam regrinds pick up around 20-25rwkw's so I'll definitely take that route.

I can't see mine making 290-295rwkw on 15-16psi of boost though. Would be nice but. :rofl:

Most of the people I know have been defected when driving to the shops and back. :S

Just a random pull over. :rofl:

I was pulled over driving to Marion shopping centre. Just as I turned left off diagonal road on to Marion road (which is right on the corner of Marion shopping centre) a defect station was setup on both sides of the road. Both traffic lanes were stopped, I was 3 cars back in the right lane ready to turn in to Marion, the police officer walked past the 3 cars and told me to pull over. :S

Luckily it was only tint on the front windows he was worried about so that came off quick smart and kept him happy. :S

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
