Yeah not fair mate. BOVs that are vented to the atmosphere are illegal. Stock BOVs are plumbed back in and are of course legal. Ive read this in a few different places.

but the thing is if you get a cop that knows f*k all and they see the name BLITZ or TURBOSMART on it they will defect you anyway. had one go over my whole car and told me any BOV is illegal. except the stock ones. i ended up in a slight argument with him about it and he wouldnt take the fact that mine didnt have a BOV at all cause of diks like these.

but then again i did come across a few other that were so on the ball it wasnt funny.

they knew i didnt have one and they knew the rules. hense officer neil. on the ball +++. he knew his shit and was really nice. what ever you do DO NOT LIE TO HIM AS U WILL PAY FOR IT. he aint no stupid cop and can read you like a book. if he gets a sence of attitude ur screwed. do what i did be nice and honest

remember they can fine you for every defect that you have. at approx $200 a defect it can get costly. think pod not secured down, to low, boost controller, turbo timer, exhaust to loud, after market turbo, BOV etc. that would cost you about $1400. im scared.

Regency is f#$king me UP!!! i currently have 4! Defect stickers on my car cos of stupid inspectors, I had a inspection on the 22nd to check my height and 1 bold tire that i replace, I DIDNT PASS! because the inspector said my battery was freaken loose! after that i took my car to a mechanic and they check my battery and it was held really TIGHT! wasnt even loose at all! i then rebooked it in for wednesday and they cheked my car but THIS TIME they said my battery needed some kinda small hose for it so i didnt pass AGAIN! why coudnt they tell me bout the hose on the monday? i then quickly rebooked my car for the next day which was thursday and they checked my car and said battery was fine but my speakers were loose, what did this have to do with road safety? this is just BS! so all together i have 4 stickers and cant afford another fail.. what a great week... =='

your car is actually defectable now for obstruction of vision......go figure.

seriously though, why are they picking new things up after each visit.......it's not like they're defecting the same thing over and over again?!

i was under the impression that once you fail, they give you your defect paper work with what needs to be fixed.

once you have fixed the problems that you were defected for and the problems that you were done for again at regency, they are only meant to check those problems.

because basically they are telling you they arent doing their job right the first time or second, third and forth.

i would report it because once youve fixed what they told you too that should be it unless it the first time.

not sure who you report too but id be finding out asap!!

I might have a possible meeting with Officer Neil in the near future. The main reasons for the discussion will be because of the new club ... but I will endeavour to raise this issue with him. kb-r33 can you PM me the details to which you were defected for 'each time' of your visits. Our aim is to not look for immunity from defects, but to have an adequate and fair defect system. Stories like this are indeed worrying. Do not interpret this as me helping you out of your defect ... I am intending to use you as a case example if/when I meet with Neil.

yeah, I can't see how Neil can help in this instance but can't hurt to get some advice.

Unfortunately Regency aren't answerable to the police they are bound by ADR's and as such don't give 2 hoots what cops think.

It's a govt issue and therefore your local MP may have more pull in this matter, especially because Regency are making you go back and forth for different issues each time when they should be doing the full inspection on the 1st visit.....would be different if they make you go back & forth over the same issue because you haven't successfully cleared it the 1st time.

The deal with 4 canaries covering the windscreen is a bit of a worry.......maybe ask Neil what the deal is there cause it would definitely be a hazard with a major blind spot like that.

I've heard the same as Kye, thought they only check what its defected for and can not keep adding to the list with different stuff. Just makes it look bad for themselves, in that they cant spot it first time through :(

I thought that regency couldnt defect you on your revisit....they are only meant to check the defects they redefect you for before and if that has been fixed then well they cant pick you for another defect......i would be so pissed off with them if that happened to me mate.....but what can you do aye...hopefully you can get through this time without hassles mate

Goodluck

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      By DominusUniversi · Posted

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
