Well... Tonight was interesting...

We were at Maccas at Springwood sitting, chatting. Next thing 3 cop cars pull in and a Department of Transport (DOT) car. Hrm me thinks..

So the boys walk away from me .. tell me to get into the car... I'm thinking "There not going to stop a chick.. surely!"

HAHA *BUZZ* wrong answer.

Looked over the engine. Asked if we had recently bought the car, I say, yeah three months ago. They asked if we had done anything to it since we got it. I say No.

Then he asks me to pop the bonnet. I do this while being nice to him. While they were looking under the bonnet I quickly switched the scanner off and hid the turbo timer (I will explain why later).

I got a defect notice for the ... I still can't stop laughing "Turbo Whistle"... NOW .. what the ****... is a "Turbo Whistle".. i know what a BOV is... but a Turbo Whistle. (comments were made later that i should have said the Blitz wasn't connected cause we still have the standard one on too)

Thats the only thing i got defected for.

Question...

What is the easiest and quickest way to remove the BOV for the day and then put it back on?? Maybe this might be the chance we need to actually fix the two BOV situation..

Also.. are turbo timers illegal?? I have heard that they are? Can anyone clarify this??

A white Skyline and a black 300zx(I think?) with what looked like a full veilside(sp?) kit.

Turned or Beenleigh Rd on to Logan Rd, heading towards Springwood. I ran a red one to catch up then passed you and pulled up at a red light and had a run with the other car.

As I turned off I had my arm waving madly out the window.

My car is stock (pod) 2 door Silver R33.

Buggered if I was looking at number plates.

I live in the area and see the cops cruise the Macc's car park at Springwood all the time so I dont go there.

Do you have a bigger pic of your car?

In no way does it make the car emmit more toxic fumes or anything else.

I don't think turbo timers themselves are illegal...

but I think it IS illegal to leave your car running while you're not in it?

Whats the easiest way to remove the blitz one??

Take it off and put a plate over the hole?

Get a new piece of pipe...?

Can any of this be thrown back on the car yard for selling a defected vehicle??

Why wouldn't a safety cert of a road worthy pick it up if its a defect???

If you are parked somewhere and you see the police coming, just lock your car up and walk away. They have no right to ask you to come back to your car for an inspection or search if you are not with your car at the time.

The rutbo timer thing....some trucks come out of the factory with them..I'd look into that, I don't think it's a defect.

Regards, Andrew.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      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.
