Hi,

I've read a few things on here and wondered whether anyone could clarify:

Will it pas A.C.T. rego with a turbo timer?

Also it has a reasonably loud BOV, is that an issue? Otherwise stock (changing the exhaust from the whopping canon beofre going for inspection).

Thanks

atmo or plumb back bov?

The turbo timer will pass as long as it is connect to the handbrake so when you pull it down the car will switch off

Or just hide it and turn it off before you go for the inspection

Thanks I'll check. I have no idea about the BOV?? Anyway to tell by looking? Not that I can even see it :blink:

Hi mate,

For the turbo timer, turn it off, and hide it under the dash, they will not know it's there.

As for the BOV, some shops are pretty anal about them, so what I would do if I were you is disconnect the vaccum from the BOV, and just put a little screw in the vaccum hose to keep it sealed with a little cable tie around the hose to keep the screw firm.

THis way, your BOV wont operate (without vaccum) when they drive it around, and wont be expelling into the atmosphere.

As soon as you get home, change everything back to the way it was.

Cheers

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
