They check everything. I got a yellow a couple of weeks ago for my blow off valve (which happens to be the standard one.. But when I told the young hero cop that it is the standard bov, he replied "bullshit, skylines don't come standard with a bov" to which he was confronted with a few choice phrases, but let's not get into that.. -.- )

So I can't help with the other half of the question, but I can say that the pit inspector told me they don't care what the cop wrote on the slip as they don't know what they're talking about half the time so everything is checked.

you shouldnt of told him it was a BOV, or agreed that its a bov, its a ABV, air bypass valve, or recirculation valve...he cant sticker you for that!! he has to be able to prove, to a reasonable doubt, to himself and his partner, that it is illegally modified and not doing its job, as the manufacturer intended!

if he did proceed to yellow sticker you after that, i would of taken a video of your engine bay, the 'bov' in question, then to the window where the sticker is/was....then called up the head office and gone spac....9/10 times they'll remove the sticker at their own cost!

in terms of the OP's issue, he WILL check the engine number, then depending on what kinda mood his in, how you have presented yourself and the car he may just change the engine number, or he may make you pay to change the engine number(cheap as from memory) or he may question the fact its turbo, to which i'd say, the original motor blew a headgasket, and then the water destroyed the bearings after it mixed with the oil, so i found a replacement motor and slotted it in...it was the only motor i could find without modifying the car to get it in!

rb30 is larger capacity (duh) and the rb25 is smaller (again duh) but turbocharged, he may just overlook it, since it sorta makes up for it!

unless it looks really modified, they wont look for things like a carbon canister...as long as its all neat n tidy, it should be ok....post a pic of your engine bay...

in cars like the aristo, the carbon canister is inside the FL corner, above the wheel arch plastics, but out of the engine bay, u cant see it from the bay..

Hey I have a set of stock springs if I need em u can have them they just taking up space

unless they are for a vl they wont do haha ride hieght is fine its the wheels in the guards that were the problem

with the carbon canister you can see that there isnt one because the metal pipe from the fuel tank is in the engine bay with nothing on it haha

Damn, that's so unlucky for you, Joel. The fact that it happened after easter long weekends when there's more chance of that happening.

Good luck with the whole process.

Well if you have a work order on your car, you obviously did not apply to have these modifications approved before doing them to the car. This is required for any modification done to any vehicle (exhaust, intercooler, bla bla bla)

Mind you, not very many people do it haha

thanks vic, yeah the worst thing about it it was a cop that used to pull me over all the time before it had the conversion so he just wanted to pick on me some more. im hoping i can just get away with a change of engine number form due to the R.A.C horsepower rating is exactly the same as the rb30. im more worried about having to get all the zorst changed due to the cat has been welded in and it has been gutterd.

yeah i know jason. i got jason to send me your number on saturday but he didnt. what are your thoughts on this would i get away with a change of engine number seeing tho they are the same block and same R.A.C horsepower rating

dare i say it - Jason... in this instance...

the survey says... you're.... WRONG... BBBBoooooommmmm

you don't have to get it engineered. you dont have to do SHIT.

do on the work order what YOU beleive needs fixing.

does it say your tint is too dark? be honest. is it? if so - pull it off.

does the work order say your car is too low? IS IT too low? then lift it.

if you beleive in your heart of hearts that it's NOT too low... then don't change it..

here's what you do:

take the car to the pits having fixed what YOU beleive is a necessary fix - take it to the pits n say "hey heres my car, i fixed this that n this, but with this i just wanted an inspectors' opinion because it's YOUR say which matters"

he will give you a work order - and you will then complete THAT

dont run around organising engineers certs if you don't physically need to.. just see what the inspector says n take it from there - there's no point getitng your motor engineered and your brakes confubulated and your flux capacitor enhanced...

...if the inspector is just going to not even bother looking at it and then ping you for having a wobbly gearknob that requires a screw to be put back in... know what i mean?

so yeah - (not to say jason is wrong here) but why create extra stress.. just get it inspected after fixing MOST of your work order... THEN start from there.

LOL no. It's a different motor, different capacity and it's turbo-charged.

You would have to have it engineered and provide an engineers certificate.

well not necesarrely on a change of engine number form it asks R.A.C horsepower the formula for that is cylinder diamter x2 then x the number of cylinders divided by 6 in this case both the rb30 and rb25det R.A.C horsepower equals 27.744 exactly the same

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
