gps is illegal anyway, same as a dvd player. There are lots of laws they don't enforce.

The things they got you for are all legit, tires is just STUPID, BOV off for flutter=noise polution and makes the car run shit...

I have been pulled over at random times when heading down to rye for the weekend(3am on friday nights lol), been in my gf's supra, and they never checked the car, and were all nice guys.

well they r not goin to pull me inot a roadworth station and not check my car are they, of the 5-8 cops that were goin over my car there were good and bad ones.. they had to get me for somthing... it was my stupid trust zorst that got the attention and got me pulled in, plus the black rims so it didnt quite look like a volvo anymore... in the end they didnt even pick on the zorst.. tyres i didnt know were unroadworthy.. i dont check them every morning...

Your dvd player is legal - as long as the screen is disabled when you take the handbrake off. You arent allowed to have a screen in the drivers line of sight that is operational while the car can be moving. Handbrake trigger switch - 9/10 dvd players have a wire out the back for such a purpose. If it has just been run straight to a ground point, ur screen can constantly be on. Not allowed.

You should be allowed to NOT run a BOV. It sounds like you just have a cover plate over the mounting point on the inlet? As long as there is nothing that vents directly to atmosphere there should be no problem to my knowledge, but am happy to be corrected there. They cannot say that the flutter noise is noise pollution - it is not loud or constant enough. Seen that one fought and won many a time.

As far as the Xenons go - yeah as above. Legal, as long as they self clean and level. If they dont, say goodbye.

could do the coke can thing once the defect is cleared? looks like a bov, but won't sound like one...

whats the coke can thing? you actully going to mount a coke can in place of your bov?

and secondly about hdi lights. auto leveling system my arse. i live out near hunter valley vineyards and i can ashure u the auto levling system dosen't work on any car on the goat track roads we have around here. many a time i have been travling home with a high class european car following me and i think it's a cop, cos it looks like blue and red high beams flashing me in the rearview mirror. no one around here is going to be smart enough to tell the diffrence between mine and a bmw. just tell the cops i thought they where converted in complicing if they askor tell em they have auto levelling. and if your comming to a defect station or rbt put your dvd screen away.(nobrainer)

you use the metal from a cut up can inside the BOV... do a search on it for pix

Coke can thing - i found this.

What you do is remove your factory bov. You will find a gasket that is used to seal it to ur intake pipe. Basically, using this gasket as a template, cut a coke can to bits so you can use the aluminium sheeting to create another gasket but without the hole in the middle for ur bov. Then mount your BOV back with this in place and voila you have a foactory looking setup that is really a dose pipe.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
