Hey,

I was just defected this morning on the way back home to sleep.

Police officer added "You and your mates must be really unhappy with us defecting your little drifting event, we must have got 50 cars..."

Dunno what he was talking about, but i guess hes still feeling some sort of pump from defecting a lot of imports.

I have the following:

Front mount intercooler (cut hole through side)

Blow off valve (atmostpheric)

Greddy front strut brace

Boost controller

black steel intake pipe.

Turbo (hiflow).

What would I need to do to change them?

Any input?

In response to his comment I would of said no i am on my way home from work.

You will need to bugger off ya blow off valve.

Strut brace (prob wouldnt get told off for it but still its an A/M item so bugger that off.

Boost COntroller.

High Flowed turbo will be no issues if it's just the RB25 turbo highflowed. As there is nothing changed on the outside of the turbo.

With the FMIC have you cut up your reo bar at all? if so that may fail you. And the hole on the side just get some vac hose slice it down the middle and put that around the hole you cut for your pipe.

And I would take the induction pipe off aswell just incase.

And anything else you have done to your car

I also have the car lowered, and I have 18x9 and 18x8 rims on the car. on TOP of that, i lost my f**king wheel lock nut key and I have to get a new one from Tyrepower Adelaide.

Apart from that, the exhaust aswell, 5Zigen system.

the fmic should be fine unless you've cut the reo like someone else has said! and i've also done the hose thing! i got through so there's no reason why you shouldn't with that

with the bov if you still have the standard one get it back on! i put mine on my intercooler piping and they've so far been cool with it!

i never knew strut braces were illegal! if so then the po po have been letting it pass

don't know about the boost cont! (if it's a manual or electronic one) but the intake i've got stock air box and stuff if that'll help!

as for the turbo! i think my workshop still has one of my standard r33 turbo's!

he would have been talking about the defect station they had set up out the front of mallala last weekend.

just goes to show they are more intesested in working AGAINST us rather than with us to make the streets a safer place.

having a station set up out the front of an event like that is like taking candy froma baby for them,

then bragging about it....just lame :woot:

why did you get pulled over pauly? were you driving like a ratbag?

you'll probably need to do everything that Brenton mentioned in his above post.

i dont reckon you need worry about the rims, they'll just check that your tyres have a decent amount of tread.

And even your exhaust... if you can cheekily shut it up so its under 90dB at around 3500rpm, they should pass it.

True. When they target events designed to keep the heat off the street, then they bring the heat to you, thats lame and bloody weak of them. Next, people are going to avoid these 'legal' off street events and take it onto the streets, because the cops will be targetting events such as this.

On the other side of the coin, we do have alot of import car drivers to blame for such attention. Obviously the police are doing anythying, right or wrong, to get their message across.

nah ive got a clearence from the sturt police station to drive the car while on defect. theres a small part on the back of the defect paper at the bottom that will grant you clearence to drive till your regency date. ive got mine under the defect sticker.

also Tangles, when i was getting defected, they pulled in a creamy stagea and defected him too and that looked pretty stock :D

    • Yes, well, keep in mind that the air is intake air, which equal boost + possible oil. If there is a fine deposition of oil/scunge that then gets hot and carbonises, it could look just like that. Probably shouldn't be leaking. Might just be normal for that product. Hard to know if it is relevant.
    • Wrapped up putting the motor back in today. I have a stainless flex turbo drain pipe like you see on cummins and that funny enough PRP started selling. I generally prefer these but sadly they come with a finite amount of times they can be bent before they snap. Took well over a week for a replacement to arrive.  I was able to prime the pump but I will more then likely wait until next friday to take it on its madden voyage. I also installed the nozzles for my direct port WMI setup but plugged the nozzle holders for now. I'll tube it with Swagelok SS tubing and fittings next chance I get. No rush, i'll be breaking it for a week or two anyways. 
    • I could definitely do some logs without the VCT enabled for sure. I believe we tried it on the dyno and it still spiked but wouldn't hurt to try again and have the logs    I might be able to use some metal cable ties and hold the gate open entirely, I'd need to see about that one.   What do we think about these marks on the cap of the actuator? This is where the two parts push together where the diaphragm spring is. To me they look like air has been sleeping past?? Specifically talking about those black stains above the lower rim/lip. They can be rubbed away as if it's just an exhaust stain.  
    • And if it still spikes, just for now, turn off VCT completely by disabling it OR simply unplug the solenoid. Just to rule out excessive exhaust pressure. I recall a video from Motive DVD about a decade ago, where Hawkins original single Garrett GTX3582 or so turbo had boost control issues sub 1.4bar of boost as well.   Food for thought? Is there anyway you can peg the WG completely open and/or dodgily not plumb it back into your exhaust system for testing purposes?
