Hi,

I've read a few things on here and wondered whether anyone could clarify:

Will it pas A.C.T. rego with a turbo timer?

Also it has a reasonably loud BOV, is that an issue? Otherwise stock (changing the exhaust from the whopping canon beofre going for inspection).

Thanks

atmo or plumb back bov?

The turbo timer will pass as long as it is connect to the handbrake so when you pull it down the car will switch off

Or just hide it and turn it off before you go for the inspection

Thanks I'll check. I have no idea about the BOV?? Anyway to tell by looking? Not that I can even see it :blink:

Hi mate,

For the turbo timer, turn it off, and hide it under the dash, they will not know it's there.

As for the BOV, some shops are pretty anal about them, so what I would do if I were you is disconnect the vaccum from the BOV, and just put a little screw in the vaccum hose to keep it sealed with a little cable tie around the hose to keep the screw firm.

THis way, your BOV wont operate (without vaccum) when they drive it around, and wont be expelling into the atmosphere.

As soon as you get home, change everything back to the way it was.

Cheers

    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
