Was it actually too low, or were they just saying that? Its always good to know exactly, then you can say "get out the ruler, I *know* its legal".. then they defect you for something else

At least no fine.

better watch it, they'll fine you for comments like that :wave:

Nah, this copper was on the ball.

He was sitting on the side of the road on Springvale road on top of the Eastern freeway just watching people drive past, decided I looked as good as any, so he pulled me over up near tunstall square, and I was carefull not to park anywhere illegal!!!

Then he pulled out the breatho (at 11 am on a Sunday) and then pulled out a wodden stick with a roller on the end which is 100mm diameter. Said all the official stuff, and rolled it right under my middle muffler and sure enough its about 10 mm too low.

He checks under my bonnet for any "after market blow off valves or things like that" of which there were none.

tells me that he will give me a canary but not fine me etc. etc. and he was acutally quite reasonable.

He was in a Blue Highway "Safety Car" and knew his stuff.

Bit of a pain in the arse being done, but he couldn't have been more up front, honest, calm and actually quite a nice guy.

Anyway, time to put the stock exhaust back on!!

BASS OUT

huh?!?!?! aftermarket blow off valves

Ive got a blitz one hanging off...is that illegal???

how much do i get fined :D

of course its illegal if its not plumbed back (although try to explain that to the officer).. first thing another member of our forums got picked on when he got pulled over was his BOV. Both myself, and his car were inspected and erm, yeah.. all the got him on was the BOV.

They're not a good idea, and anything external cops can see/hear from a distance, or close up, they *will* ping you for it. Often the stealth approach works well.

I think the standard defect cost is $125 fine. Get 3x of them, and that BOV is costing you more than its worth.

Bad luck Bass :D

They are being a tad on the opressive side at the moment. Lucky it's the sticker and no fine (same as me) - just a waste of your time to get it fixed though.

I wonder how high the pursuit Monaro is?

    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
