Hi guys. I was looking on the VicRoads website to find out what sorta s**t is defectable but dont seem to find much stuff.

Is a BOV defectable in Victoria? I was told by a buddie that it can be. What other things that most ppl put on their 'lines can be defectable by coppers? I dont want to get my 'line and then get it canaried as soon as it hits the roads.

Thanks dudes/dudettes

Atmo venting Bov's are defectable...

Mine is atmo but looks like a plumb back (which is legal), there is a return hose attched to mine that when u follow it actually goes to nowhere and is blocked at the end...

Other defects:

Guages, depending on where they are mounted.

Neons, all of them. Especially blue and red.

Loud exhaust, ie over 90db.

Lowering, ie lower than 10cm from any part of the car.

Load ratings on wheels. ie having to light a load rating wheel on your car.

I also heard you can get defected just for having a vanity plate that declares in any way that you are an innocent person... :)

u either have the noise, which the cops can hear.. 'cause if they pull you over to defect you, they'll get u on something...

or you keep it standard noise, and get same performance.

Best thing is to have an adjustable one which u can turn the "pshhh" noise up or down on when you want to.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
