Yellow Sticker Question.

[blinko]

ok yesturday i got my first yellow sticker.. i got it for my blow of value and my boost guage. The BOV is no prob to take out because i have all the stock parts at home it only a 10min job.. but now i have a few questions..

- how much would a permit for my boost guage cost? the police officer said it should be free but im not sure.

- and also on my defect notice is says "permit for blow of valves" and "Permit for guage on dash".. does this mean if i leave my BOV on i should be fine to pass or should i take it off just to be sure?

- and my last question is, are they going to check my whole car or just the things he has writen down.. becasue i took my child restraints off... not really a hard job to put them back on but if i dont need to then i dont really want to.

Thanks

PS. im in WA if there laws are different from state to state.

if you get a permit for your bov then you can leave it on. that goes for the guages aswell. never heard of permits before though...interesting

vic roads will only check whats listed and nothing more. well thats how it works here in vic.

hey, yeh permits cost very lil. last time i checked it was like $35 per mod. dont quote me on it. but it should be around that mark. what they will do is site it, check that it is fitted correctly and working in the proper manor then right down what it is, what it does and what part of the car it belongs to(i think) ie engine. you get a sheet of paper(the permit) saying its all legal and from then on you have to keep the paper in your car at all times. plus you can always add to the list if you wish

blow off valve must by law be plumb-back in wa and pit inspection is a complete road worthiness so make sure its up to scratch

Where is your Boost gauge mounted???

There is no rule that says you can't add a gauge to the car just that it can't

be on the A piller if they are above the height of your Speedo.. (like the s15 import)

This is QLD rules but seam to be the same across the board...

This is taken from the QLD Transport Modification hand out.. Ill put the PDF here of the whole book

and ill make a new thread with the some other modification rule books for any one who wants it...

Any additional internal or external gauges must:

• not interfere with the field of view of the driver

• not produce glare to the driver

• not have the possibility of an oil pressure line, or similar, breaking with pressurised fluids spraying onto the windscreen

• be fitted in such a way to reduce the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants or pedestrians.

gauges thats stuffed up, i had 3 up on my dash and moved em recently , in nsw not a issue as long as it dose not obstruct driver's view,

and bov need be plump- back in nsw , just refit the stock and get it cleared .

Just to clarify, a BOV is not an illegal modification as the car came with a BOV in the very first place (stock though) - hence, if it's aftermarket as long as it's 100% plumbed back and not atmospheric, then you should be fine although just go to stock.

WTH, boost guage illegal? WTH? Unfortunately, it's up to the cop and his dog to issue defect notices - so if he says that, you'll have to comply and clear that defect notice or else you're up the creek.

I never heard about complying mods and getting certificates for them - however, I heard that you can get an engineers certificate for all your vehicle's modifications? However, it would be more than $35 a mod surely.

Just go back to stock and then get the canary cleared.

Good luck mate.
