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

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
