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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
