Hey guys - Sunday was awesome.

Many thanks to everyone involved: especially chris, paul and stace. Great to meet all new faces too. Ill have to get you to send me you pics/vids (Ian & Chris). Ill PM my address.

Funny how Ian was talking about living out in Singo and a few of the cops out here being harsh. Well 3 hours later when i was riving back to singo i got randomly pulled up by a highway patrol and defected for 5 differnt things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bov (releasing to atmosphere), pod (noise level), adjustable boost controller, exhaust (noise level) and tyres.

Then he had the hide to tell me my apexi rsm was an apexi fc!!! And didnt wanna believe that it wasnt a programmable ecu device.

NOT HAPPY ~~~ had the car back for 6 days and now its off-road again lol. Oh well.....

Any suggestions on easy cheap fixes i can use to obtain my blue slip quickly? Ive talked to Linton and he's given me some tips so far.

-Dave.

Man that sucks Dave....

I've got a stock airbox you can borrow to replace the pod with. And as with most Jap cars, you've prob still got the stock BOV there too.

Exhaust noise can be fixed with a butt plug, but they can be pricey, so you may have to beg someone to borrow one.

Ummm tyres..... I can get some with around 40% tread on em pretty cheap. Either that or just buy re-treads then sell em after to someone who wants to destroy em.

ive got new rubber on my Nismo LM-GT4 rims.....but with gold rims and that blue paint......i may not get them back....lol

that sucks dave...

i know when and if pulse performance is still around....it cost my mate $150 to get his car blue slipped to lift the defect....otherwise i'm sending a pm on someone else who could help.

where could i go to get my mods engineered? any idea on prices?

Yeah thanks for a heads up to linton and chris regarding this defect topic.

I might need to borrow that stuff off you too Ian. The pod and bov, that is.

Gold rim? :) Sounds nice :)

But i needed new tyres at anyrate so im happy to fork that money out there.

And im right when assuming that i get this blue slip for the car, but then if i get pulled over again that the blue slip WONT cover it and the tests will need redoing. The only way in future to avoid this is to obtain engineering certificates yeah?

-Dave.

Technically speaking every piece of non standard equipment fitted to a vehicle is illegal.

Yeah virtually anything that isnt stock you can be booked for unless it is fully engineered. For instance if u change your gear knob over and it doesnt have the "H" displaying the gears, then thats a defect. Having bigger wheels than the stockies without having them engineered is also illegal. so u can see how this applies to almost anything. it sucks but thats why we all love the RTA so much :D

Yeah I often thought of joining the police force. Years ago.

And you could almost guarantee I'd be out there pulling those bastards over just to even up the scores :D

Dave,

Let me know when you have time and I can come round and we can go about installing the box and bov. Wont take long.

Can fix your front bar too.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
