Getting damn epa notice. ;)

Pulled over again 7:50am!! cruising down Hume Highway just near Wodonga going to work. Look up cop sitting on the median strip turning other direction. Look up again as i am turning off onto nice quiet backroad to find cop car positioned in usual liner hunting pose right up my arse. :bs!:

Pull into back road and straight over, procedes with usual rbt then comments that my car is too low (HKS fronts and temporary lowered nismo rears) and how his rbt straw is exactly 100mm yeah yeah. I reach in the glove box and show roadworthy completeted only this Monday.

Then makes open bonnet(first time in 2years of owning R33's), I get out he then has a quick glance inside. Comes over telling me he knows what he is looking whilst leaning one hand on very illegal bov after awhile says "what this" pointing to evc module (should have hidden that damn it). Keeps looking while stoking the pod filter.

"you can close the bonnet now".

"Can you drive the car over there"

pointing to middle of the road. (f#@k me getting shitty now). Then MrPlod trys to climb underneath car with a straw after some dicking around comes up empty. "Open the bonnet" what the. Yes open it again. :D

Has another look asking me wot boost i'am running? "standard the unit is not tuned in to run any thing else". Spends another 5 min looking. Said nothing about bov, safc, boost guage, and would have not have chance of spotting a HKS2535. Tells me boost controller is not epa blah blah blah was just thinking of the time and $$$ to go back to standard. Is it possible for Vic cops to defect NSW reg car or send them for EPA??? i suspect with epa it might be.

they can only send to epa not do a full roadworthy, only minor defects

i still havent been pulled over yet and u can hear my screamer 2km away

vic cops also have a 100page book on every part defectable for imports, from boost controllers to powerfcs to inlet plenums etc

the wonderful, sensible and responsible people at spring street thought it a good idea to add a couple of phrases to the vic roads legislation. The cops only have to 'think' or believe (i cant believe you can use the word think, politician and cop in the same sentance) the car is defectable to justify writing you up. They may not actually know what the fu(k they are looking at, just that it aint standard.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      By hardsteppa 路 Posted

      The boot notch on the GK Tech rods is different to OEM yes. You'll find a solution. They are a good rod, I have used many of them for various setups, and no they are not ' just for drift cars', they are fine as an OEM replacement. Same goes for the tie rod ends although I found they transmitted a huge amount of NVH a normal balljoint masks, making it feel like there was something loose or knocking, even though there wasn't. If you used the same pieces on each side, no reason one angle should be different to the other side. Have you checked ride heights/measured the angles? Or just visual? Your alignment will be massively out of whack yes. Up to you; it is worth taking the time to learn wheel alignments and do it yourself. I have never had better wheel alignments and I haven't taken my car to a shop for, dunno...many many years. Spend a few hundred on equipment, do alot of research via online articles, youtube vids, and "trial and error" on setups. Eg, set it with too much toe-out, toe-in, too much or little caster, drive the same stretch of awesome twisty mountain road each time, learn how they feel and how the car's handling has reacted to your changes.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 路 Posted

      Nah I did not will have to another time. I only installed a blitz return flow FMIC probably 1000kms ago. When I took the old piping off there was basically no oil in piping. At this stage it has to be valve stem seals. When I roll down a big hill in gear and then throttle down the bottom, I get the same puff of smoke.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By The Bogan 路 Posted

      I believe when they added coolant to cool the turbo it negated the need for turbo timers as water continues to flow even when the engine is shut off I forget the actual terminology, I'll just say the coolant "percolates" through the turbo which stops the oil cooking itself to death  Well....that's how I see it, as all the plant at work that has coolant lines to the turbo can be shut down straight away, whereas the older plant with only oil feed to the turbo you need to idle it for a few minutes
