Hey guys - Sunday was awesome.

Many thanks to everyone involved: especially chris, paul and stace. Great to meet all new faces too. Ill have to get you to send me you pics/vids (Ian & Chris). Ill PM my address.

Funny how Ian was talking about living out in Singo and a few of the cops out here being harsh. Well 3 hours later when i was riving back to singo i got randomly pulled up by a highway patrol and defected for 5 differnt things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bov (releasing to atmosphere), pod (noise level), adjustable boost controller, exhaust (noise level) and tyres.

Then he had the hide to tell me my apexi rsm was an apexi fc!!! And didnt wanna believe that it wasnt a programmable ecu device.

NOT HAPPY ~~~ had the car back for 6 days and now its off-road again lol. Oh well.....

Any suggestions on easy cheap fixes i can use to obtain my blue slip quickly? Ive talked to Linton and he's given me some tips so far.

Man that sucks Dave....

I've got a stock airbox you can borrow to replace the pod with. And as with most Jap cars, you've prob still got the stock BOV there too.

Exhaust noise can be fixed with a butt plug, but they can be pricey, so you may have to beg someone to borrow one.

Ummm tyres..... I can get some with around 40% tread on em pretty cheap. Either that or just buy re-treads then sell em after to someone who wants to destroy em.

Yeah thanks for a heads up to linton and chris regarding this defect topic.

I might need to borrow that stuff off you too Ian. The pod and bov, that is.

Gold rim? :) Sounds nice :)

But i needed new tyres at anyrate so im happy to fork that money out there.

And im right when assuming that i get this blue slip for the car, but then if i get pulled over again that the blue slip WONT cover it and the tests will need redoing. The only way in future to avoid this is to obtain engineering certificates yeah?

Technically speaking every piece of non standard equipment fitted to a vehicle is illegal.

Yeah virtually anything that isnt stock you can be booked for unless it is fully engineered. For instance if u change your gear knob over and it doesnt have the "H" displaying the gears, then thats a defect. Having bigger wheels than the stockies without having them engineered is also illegal. so u can see how this applies to almost anything. it sucks but thats why we all love the RTA so much :D

Yeah I often thought of joining the police force. Years ago.

And you could almost guarantee I'd be out there pulling those bastards over just to even up the scores :D

Dave,

Let me know when you have time and I can come round and we can go about installing the box and bov. Wont take long.

Can fix your front bar too.

    • That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age
    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
