Unknown Defects

[skyline_freak_r33]

Hi guys,

got car checked tonight at BP Newton whilst filling up

the officer was a decent guy

he mostly had a look at the engine and found a few little things which needed to be fixed up

the fine was $700 but he let me off with a warning and guaranteed me that we would meet again

one was my old non turbo canister hadnt hooked up to the new turbo engine emissions hoses and two were still unexposed

he said it was polluting the emissions into the environment

he also found these 3 things within my engine bay which i have no clue to why/what is wrong with them

do any of you guys know why the lead off the fuse box isnt connected up? also why that lead has a screw also cable tie in the end and my pod was bolted down but he said it was a mod? do i need a heat shield box? also he pointed out i need a stock boost solenoid/controller within my engine bay and brought to my attention the problem with my shit fuel economy is due to not having one! is that correct?

cheers

$700 for what?? am i missing something? driving a turbo car on your P's perhaps?

not really sure what your trying to show us in the last picture

the first one is easy take the zip tie off and bolt out and put on the end of the thing there i circled it

2nd pic change the red hose for black hose makes things stand out less

The third picture is the plug for the ABS sensor. there will be another one the other side. They dont need to be connected there just there in case ABS was an option on your car.

Nah i got my P's before the new law came in. The $700 was for the emissions to the earth due to not having the carbon canister hooked up to 2 exposed connectors

not really sure what your trying to show us in the last picture

the first one is easy take the zip tie off and bolt out and put on the end of the thing there i circled it

2nd pic change the red hose for black hose makes things stand out less

ok so will it affect my engine if i connected it? also due to it being an ABS hose and i dont have ABS does it still mean i could get defected for it in the future?

yeah i probably will do that tomorrow so it doesnt stand out

cheers for the help appreciate it alot

exactly right

ok so does this need to be connected? Is it a future defect?

cheers appreciate your help

No, thats ridiculous.

[TALBO]

ridiculous

PERSONALLY, i would be going to the cop shop to discuss the fine for the abs plugs not being connected..

fare enough u need the carbon canister connected, but i would be asking why u have been fined for a factory option which was not chosen..

[Damo_R34]

he didnt get fined, he let him off.

[rad100]

ohhhh, never mind then..

[chef_stagea]

whats the story with that past pic with the bolt in the hose?

the stageas boost cut solenoid things around that area... might be blocked due to running high boost one day.

[Weezy]

straight out, f**k street cars lol

[R33 Sleeper]

wow, it looks like the officer had some knowledge

[skyline_freak_r33]

ridiculous

I have that plug not going anywhere also in pic 3

i knew it because my mate's skyline has the same thing aswell.. does anyone know/confirm if this can be defected for? and what its meant to be connected to?

cheers for the help

yeah thankgod i didnt get defected or fined for it.. ye exactly i know thats my fault for the canister and solenoid but the other things were a tad over the top.

cheers for the help

you reckon? the engine wasnt installed so it would run high boost. it was installed on a standard setup. but im guessing it shouldnt matter if i connect it back up

cheers for the help

wow, it looks like the officer had some knowledge

yeah he was from the hoon task force.. he knew his stuff but picked on things which weren't necessary/needed to be connected. but he also picked up stuff which he needed to. in the end he was just doing his job guess

Do you guys reckon i should go to a mechanic and get in writing the plug off the fuse box isn't a necessary/needed feature within the car and get him to attach a number to confirm this?

cheers for all of your help!

If you didnt get a sticker on the window, I wouldnt worry too much Domenic. Tidy the bits up that the guys have mentioned and you'll be fine.

Even though the officer pointed out bits like unplugged sensors, it doesn't necissarily mean he knows what he's talking about. Tuck them out of view so there's nothing to pick on.

The usual deal to keep in mind - if an officer thinks something is defectible, he'll ping ya. And the party starts there!

[Madaz]

that or snip plug, or see how much power comes out of it and power a carputer off of it or something

i thought all GTS4 had ABS i guess not the world of skylines is a world of learning

[Import S13]

Just connect what's meant to be connected or hide it better.

If a cop want's to defect you they will.

The 180 I bought was defected for not having a gill fitted (yes, its written on the defect paper) and anyone who know's 180's know that they don't have grill's lol.

$700!! damn thats alot. lucky u got off

[DarkRyda]

Ahh i see thanks for answering my question was a little confused ADR/Emissions fine sounds about right
