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.

    • haha don't worry I'm sue you've got more fun ahead buying a 30 year old turbo car....but at least you are in the right place to ask
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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.
