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.

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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
