Last night I was pulled over for speeding and was busted with a turbo timer.... instant defect! yay!

The cop forget to issue me with a speeding fine... does that mean I'm clear in regards to that?

He didnt forget the defect notice though.... im due at regency in 4 weeks....

I spoke to one of the standards personnel and theytold me having a bleed valve is also illegal.... but my strut brace and k&n pod filter and fine.

Can i simply rip the bleed valve and turbo timer off for inspection and all will be good or do I have to have a presofessional perform these tasks, including ripping all the wiring related to the turbo timer and have the car tuned at stock boost?

bad luck there mate!!!

As far as a i know, any boost control is deemed guilty straight to jail and the turbo timer has to have wiring and all removed, do not pass go, do not collect $200 straight to jail on that one to....Then what ever they ping you for there!!

If you didn't get the speeding fine then you might get lucky, did he write it all out?? You might receive it in the mail or something stupid!! :chairshot

I generally find if you are not doing the wrong thing you will not get pulled over.

Well that is my experience, I was speeding down anzac years ago and got pulled over and defected (in a stock commodore).... that was my fault for being a tool.

I have since then owned several imports and yet to be pulled over as I now drive responsible.

if you see my car... its far from a defect.... its clean as and barely modded.... it has only been defected for the turbo timer... and for me to have to go through the bull shit over a turbo timer pisses me off!

did you only get defected for TT and bleed valve??? Coz that's only two items, therefore you only have to go to the cop shop and show that they've been removed, too easy, your only hassle would be if you have to go to regency. which i don't think u have to.

agree totally with you cefiro but i think he stated someone in his post that the policeman spefically assigned the inspection to be at regency. Maybe take it to the cop shop and hopefully they clear it there thus no need for regency.

well i'm due back at regency for my second time July 7th. my advice is to get your car as stock as physically possible cause from my experience and mates no one has got through first time, they will do you for the stupidest thing just to get you back to make some moeny, i had my car back to fully standard and they did me for a worn upper control arm bush so if you get through u got lucky!

I only got defected for the turbo timer, and ive been made to go to regency.... I rang the cop shop to plead why my car is classified as a 'major' defect and their response was that they cant make the professional observation that the turbo timer has been removed as they arent 'mechanics' but they still will check and give me the 'all clear' to drive it without a turbo timer till my appointment at regency..... farkin bullshit!!!!!! so they can tell me that the turbo timer isnt in my car, but they also cant.... weirdo's

Cop shop..... it depends how far away from the CBD you live.

From memory it was something like outside of the cbd by 40km's and you get to take the car to the cop shop for general defects.

I think with emission related defects you have to take the car to regency.

So guess where my car is reg'd.

All the way down south. :P

So was the bleed valve fairly well hidden? He still found it?

you must keep your car on for a while b4 turning off, a good intercooler and a very light foot.... impressive.... are we talking about the stock factory turbo (t28 with t03 flange... correct me if im wrong).

... i was told by regency that pods, strut brace are legal..... bleed valve isnt

I always thought that it was otherwise, coz a boost controller bleeds air from the wastegate line, & generally anything atmospheric before the muffler (whether it be a BOV, catch can, screamer pipe etc) is illegal.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
