In VIC its illegal to have an emissions required sensor disconnected, so I imagine you'll need to have the stock box back in, assuming its the same in SA that is.
Bad luck mate, I'm defected too- going through regency oct 8.
Not sure what tint you have but it can't be darker than 70% on front windows and 35% on rear windows- so keep that in mind. Oh and they dont like any mafless setups apparently
otr needs to come off as does all the extras you have in the engine bay thats not std....and yes cam needs to come out even if you have the emmitions test...had it happen to me in my vl not fun also may need to change your exhaust too....but good luck with it if ya need any help give me a bell mate!
ffs man shut up with that bbq shiit.....im not touching that shiit never....
back on to the defect....yeh if i can quiet dwn the exhaust it shud be ok.....cause they will be checkin the suspension n wheels....so if the exhuast is quiet i shud be fine...hopefully
do they have to run the car to clear the defect? Can u just tell them the starter is ****ed and you are getting it replaced or will that just result in other defect for not having a roadworthy car
