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.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
