Defected

[Krishy]

yes reuben it was pretty much stock

[Pauly33GTS-t]

I got pinged cause "i thought i heard a blow off valve"... i saw the cop, i shifted at 2200rpm ever shift. ud have to be a friggin surgeon with a stethoscope to hear the valve... he did me under suspicion in the end i guess. maybe my rims were too cool. fk knows. i do have a slight exhaust leak, but my exhaust is quieter than most cannons, i need a new gasket to fix the leak.

[Krishy]

if you need a stock BOV pauly i have one that you can borrow mate....

[Pauly33GTS-t]

thanks krishy might have to take you up on that, if you have the stock rubber intake hose that goes onto the turbo from the pod i might need that too since i got a big steel one there.

[Krishy]

so you cant have a metal piping for the pod from the turbo.....you can borrow that BOV no probs pauly

[Pauly33GTS-t]

thanks krishy, not sure on the pipe, but its more that my pipe does not have a return port for the blow off valve to vent the air back into the intake and complete the recirculation.

Sorry to hear Paul.......

Hope it all gets sorted for ya!!

Such a relief not having to worry about cops in the Aristo, even with dark tint they dont even look at me, little do most people know im packing a 3ltr tt under the ol bonnet!! Stealth cars ftw!!

[Krishy]

ahh i see...well i have a stock bov so you can borrow that.......glad to help you out.....remember its a borrow

[Pauly33GTS-t]

yeh i know the concept of borrowing vaguely. lol.

[Krishy]

LOL i was just yanking ya chain.....you can pick it up anytime you want bud....

Sorry to hear buddy, I know how you feel... my total so far for my Regency visit looks like is going to hit $2500!

Such bastards when our cars are more roadworthy than 90% of the shit out there

thats what annoys me to, they would rather get an import off the road for a few weeks to cash in on the regency fee, as opposed to

getting the pre 1980s death traps off the road.

[Krishy]

craig they wont get the death traps off the road coz they dont bring in the cash....defecting imports on the other hand brings in a lot more cash for them as the owners (us) love our cars too much not to try to get it off regency......those 80's death traps are worth how much....so if they get a regency defect they just dont worry abt it so its a lot of paper work for the popo and no revenue....

[craig R33]

^^^exactly my point. cant be further from the truth.

[Krishy]

they are always going to target imports.....so as far as i think keep ur engine bay and exterior looking as stock as you can....that way they wont think much of you and leave you alone.....but i have always thought that if the cops dont look at your car means your car is shit.....on the other hand i dont want the popo looking a lot at my car.....different sides of the coin aye

[Cubes]

Its sad but its the stock look stock height is the only way.

A set of decent 225/50 16's on stock rims hold my 260rwkw odd fairly well through second compared to average tyres previously skating around in third; lower the pressure a little and there's not a hint of wheelspin through second.

Some time ago a family friend who is a police officer said the 3 biggest things that attract the police; milo tin as she referred to it, lowered and wheels. Any of those and your a target as its highly likely you've also spent $$ on a boost controller etc.

Definitely makes me think twice about driving the car to Mallala. I think I'll hire a car trailer and tow it down with no plates so it can't be defected when I take it out.

[Deluxe]

Joel, Dont worry about a trailer for a grip prac day, they dont have cops out there for that, unless there is a drift prac on after then the cops will be there later in the day, They only come to Drift days!!

But by all means it is a good idea to have a trailer so incase something does break......

I went through regency with my front and rear gtr struct braces.. they were fine with it.

Also dont understand about blow off valves when your allowed to have them in japan and they are the cleanest country in the world and also why are drift cars allowed to have blow off valves if it does shit to the atmosphere as i have been told also from a cop.

Its the 'noise pollution' the cops have the issue with.

[DSTROY]

i would recomend that you return the car to as stock as possible, and also find a mechanic familiar with getting imports throught regency to check your car out, as they will find any potential defects before regency slaps another sticker on your window for extra stuff, Tilbrook auto & dyno went over my car before i went to regency and replaced a few suspect bushes, and my car past first time, no worries.
