Make sure your pod filter is secured, no oil leaks, all lights working, suspension isn't coilovers, etc.

Make sure the exhaust isn't loud at 4000rpm, as that's where they test it to. If it is, shove a resinator in the line somewhere. $50 fix.

I'm not a fan of BOV's, but if you must run one, have it standard or get a black, stealth one and make sure it's tucked down deep. I had a stealth black one in my old Familia and cops never found it.

Personally, these days, I wouldn't run a after-market BOV. The standard one on the GTR sounds great as it is, and it's 100% legal!

The more 'bling' and chromed piping under the bonnet, the more likely you will get defected. Go the stealth look!

Hehe familias ftw! My old tx3 turbo was all stealth, black piping, black cooler, even had rubber hose sleeved over some stuff... looked like any other tx3. Got pulled over many times, not one defect.

But yeh this sucks as i even posted in WTB section that im looking for factory recirculation valve the day it happened. I tried talking to the cop and being as nice as possible.. no go. I'm not a fan of bov's and really don't see the point in having one apart from the fully hektik noise they make. :P

I do have some plans for my car but it will all still look factory and stock once its done.

btw, how much is regency gonna cost me? Ill get everything sorted this week and try see if i can get away with just cop shop although i doubt it.

have been tinkering with the rolla today.

i rebuilt the carby earlier (thankfully did not have any parts left over :D ). went to drain the fuel tank so i can have a good crack at fixing the leak in it...... did not know that my mate had put a full tank in it while i was at work yesterday

/petrol bath for me

lol i have filled up a couple of small jerry cans and numerous empty glass jars with petrol and there is still so much in there.

i took the coil lead out of it so my mate does not go and fill it up again hahahahaha

surprises me that he even drove it with fuel steadily dripping out of the tank :P

in Vietnam atm, decided to go for walk 2 the casino with my nephew at bout 11pm lastnite, on the way there we accidently took a back street and ended up getting corned by a scooter with 2 girls on it and they were holding sum kind of weapon, they demanded our wallets and took bout $150 cash and also took my mobile fone, we were lucky 2 get our wallets back with ID, i dont care bout the money but its the phone im spewing bout the most as i couldn't ring optus ASAP coz the costomer help line wasnt open till 8am so i had 2 wait nearly 3 hours to bar my phone which in that time they could of made several calls on it.......now i have to go thru the crap of of claiming it on insurance

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
