Okay, just got myself sent to regency..

The 2 things I got defected for were missing front bumper (Was gonna happen sooner or later, waiting for a new one) And my blowoff valve.

Now, the thing I don't get is that apparently the blowoff valve is not meant to release gases into the atmosphere... Umm it's a stock blowoff valve so how the hell do I get it not to make noise?

I don't think it's possible, only thing I can think off is run everything off the wastegate...

But does anyone know how to turn them down, or is the cop a retard?

1. Have you used the search function rather than go straight out and start a new topic? This has been covered dozens of times before.

2 .You shouldn't be being sent to Regency for 2 defective items - should be a cop shop visit. Go to your local cop shop and complain about the defect notice, then make a personal complaint about the officer for being a tosspot.

3. Factory blow-off valves are legal, as long as the return plumbing is intact.

Didn't think about searching a topic, sorry :P

And I might use that idea, go to the cop shop and complain about it.. But the cop didn't look at the blowoff valve, it was the noise he was complaining about.

they can send you to regency for 1 item if they like it's up to their discretion and will depend on what the defect is for. The 3 defect thing is that if they find 3 or more defects then they have to send you to regency.

I don't think it's possible, only thing I can think off is run everything off the wastegate...

What do you mean by this?

And if it is still the factory BOV and it still have the hose running back to the intake then you will be fine for that, but really you shouldn't have been driving around without a front bar.

why shouldn't he be defected for no frontbar???

you are an idiot for even driving around without one, it was bound to happen sooner or later

fair enough going down to police station and complaining about the standard blowoff valve but when they see u got no front bar they are just gonna LAUGH at you

Yeah I know the front bar was bound to happen sooner or later, waiting for a new one to be ordered.

Was just making short trips, to and from work.. And this one was to the servo.

A mate of mine told me you can take the valve out, and run the turbo straight into the wastegate.. Not entirely sure about it.

And I told the cop it was stock, twice.

You do know that BOV and waste gate are used to achieve different things. Legally you need to retain both, although the ADR's don't state anything about a force inducted car needing a BOV (although they will claim it's a emissions requirement), but hey it's not like regency don't make the rules up as they go.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
