stock bov + yellow sticker

[JH32]

How do I quieten my stock blow off valve without putting my air box back in? I have a FMIC and the box doesn't fit anymore because of the cooler piping

I took my car to the licensing centre to get my yellow off but they said I have to quieten the bov somehow, and then they'll give me a permit for my cooler and my pod filter :confused:

I admit it's pretty loud, but it's totally stock!

What can I do!

Cheers

Are you sure they arent hearing reversion

theres ways to fix any problem might need to pop over

[rev210]

block the thing off and turn the boost controller right down.

[SHUTO-BOY]

stock boost and plug the airline to the bov jimih, they might even permit the BOV, which licensing centre did u go?

[MarkR33]

i know with my pod it sounds like a blow off valve is that what they are hearing as i cannot almost even hear my stock bov with the stock air box or even pod

[skyliner33wa]

Sorry to but in, but do you need a Permit for a FMIC?

JiMiH my stocker bov was f'in loud when i had to get mine registered, they couldnt say a thing though because the compliance engineer had passed the air filter I had and therefore theres no possible way to shut the damn thing up!

I hate the sound of the standard one, its so bloody loud its not funny.

R33's must have the recirc pipe further down the line. I think the problem on the R32 occurs because the recirc pipe joins right before the air filter.

Just take the standard one off and bolt a plate over the hole, its not illegal NOT to have a bov now is it! Just get the yellow off and put the bov back on.

Cheers for the replies guys

That's a good idea about putting a plate over the whole thing i might just do that .... failing that I'll be up to your house Steve

I went to the Welshpool pits (they also didn't pass me because I have a chrome-look cup on my boost guage )

How do you put up with that shit?!!?

I admit, I haven`t been in Oz for quite a while, but that is just freekin crazy! On what grounds would they not pass you for chrome on a boost guage? Did I just type that...? *chrome on a boost guage*... yes I did...:confused:

[MrMayhem]

glare same reason you have to have black windo wipers

[Rezz]

Yet roof racks, bumper bars, bull bars, badges and wheels/hub caps are ok?

[AeroGrace]

add chrome rims to the list too......

[rev210]

the chrome reflects alot of light. In the cabin you have a very very small chance of the light getting in your eyes when the sun is at the wrong angle. A rather weak excuse but, an excuse none the less.

[rob77]

I think they can give you a yellow for pillar mounted gauges as well, cos they can distract/block your view.

[caminperth]

The reason for pillar mounted guages being a problem is if they are within a certain radius of your head (can't remember number)and could be struck by it in an accident. Vision wise, as they are off to the side I don't believe they are a problem.

[MetBlue_GTST]

Pillar mounts are okay, long as they are do not hang in front of the steering wheel... Vision isn't the problem unless they hang really far off to the left in the way...

i have Blitz BOV on my car and i have it permitted as well as my Filter and FMIC. on my permit sayd BOV not to be too loud hahah thast the funniest shit i have ever heard coz it is loud as f@#k. I went to welshpool. They didnt pass my pillar guage coz yes was chrome and the light reflection was the only problem. I taped it up with tape and toook it back over (they passd it) its all a crock of BS if you ask me. My car handles and stops better than most cars out there yet i still get yellows for mods even if they are improvements. But what can you do. Cops should learn a little about cars and mods b4 they go out in the world and tell us what is and isnt wrong.

With little choice, its a police state here, ironically, they'll sticker a jap import for stupid reasons, yet a smokeing POS with bald tyres and rust throughout will drive on by and not get a second look

Bad cops bad cops... whatya gonna do
