Defect Question (Not A Rage Thread.. Just A Question)

So, I'm driving a 180sx on my P's.. with exemption and all the rest. No issues here.

I got RBT'd the other day and the obligatory bonnet check occured.. and I got a defect for my oil breather venting into the atmosphere. I knew about the issue, however I bought the car like that and the cop was fine with it. So I received a defect notice for the breather, no fines, no points, and all I have to do is hand in my form to the police station. Easy enough. It's a self-clearing one.

So I have 30 days (more like 21 now), to hand in the form to the station. My question is, this is my normal car and I need to drive it for obvious reasons. Am I able to be pinged again whilst I haven't fixed the problem but before my form is due? I'm definitely going to fix the issue, no doubt.. but I wonder if a cop can get me for exactly the same thing in between the 30 days? I've been avoiding alot of driving because I don't really want to get a worse punishment, just in case.

Am I right to drive?

This was in the Morayfieldish/Redcliffeish area. To be honest, I have nothing else that's defectable. Not really in my interests to run a car that stresses me out all day long with the potential for more trouble. Everything is clean and tidy.

Some people plum the breather back into the intake manifold/plenum or into the intake just after the Air Flow Meter. Its not a hard fix. Where are you located?

Do this, this is the best setup to have IMO

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal 路 Posted

      Swapped the injectors around and the misfire followed. I went ahead and ordered the Deatschwerks 550cc injectors and am currently waiting for them to be ship and arrive. In the meantime, I've had my Nistune soldered to the ECU. Tested it, and and tried it out with the software. Everything should be prepared for when the injectors arrive.

      Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana 路 Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu 路 Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷
