Need To Borrow: Stock R33 Airbox

[krzysiu]

Hey guyz,

It was a long time comming and it finally happened.

EPA for Intercooler, POD Filter, Bleed Valve, Un-engeneered Modification to Chasis.

Just wondering is someone could lend me a stock airbox so i can this cleared.

Thanks guyz

[Mr. Oizo]

what was the unengineered mod to the chassis?

i think dezz has a spare airbox, send him a pm

[krzysiu]

Its for the hole made to accomadate the intercooler piping.

Will shoot Dezz a pm

[AlexCim]

So what the hell do you do about the hole?

You cant weld it back up can ya? Do you just have to get it engineered or what?

Id like to know the outcomes thanks

[krzysiu]

Yeah, Guess ill have to get it engeneered.

I got till the 17th to get it engineered.

Im now waiting for a letter from the EPA to tell me what time i have to go for the first inspection to tell me what to do, and then for the final inspection.

Annoying as hell

[Downforce]

if you have a powerfc they'll find it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

turbo timers arent illegal to have, the way you use it is what makes it illegal

it shouldnt be a problem, but if its easy enough to remove, you might as well do it to save hassles

EPA can tell the diff

they'll open it up.

Did it to mine

[krzysiu]

ah damnit.

Its a minor defect so i dont know if they will go into that much depth. Guess ill see lol

[R32Big_boy]

Really, they opened up your ecu. If it wasnt mentioned on the EPA enfingement notice then they might not worry about it, they'll probally check that it has a stock loom and cover. Also for the hole you had to cut get some steel wire, like what is used to re-frunish chairs and couches(because it is very strong) and shape it to the hole you cut then spot weld it around the outside of the hole.The steel wire is about 5mm thick. This will give the metal the strength it needs. I know from experience. Oh and the turbo wont fly.

[TracidTrax]

Pettett up to his tricks again

[krzysiu]

any other tips you guyz have?

I just got it yesterday and its bloody stressfull

[Beeble]

I've got an airbox in Kew if you like...

Good luck

[R31Nismoid]

Really, they opened up your ecu.

Most certainly the EPA man did

They have been known to do so in the past if they have reason to suspect it

[INASNT]

LOL, was petticock in an evo???

What were you doing driving near knox chris?

U wont have to worry about the hole for the intercooler or pod with most places that will clear a defect, only if you have to go to EPA.

[Kaz200]

I managed to survive the Knox hole of hell the other week. It's like taking a drive to South America and hoping for the best!

If you want any further advice you should just ask r32big_boy.. he might as well work for the EPA.. I think he knows more than they do?

Some insane person was telling me a couple of weeks ago about how they ran from Pettett once.. craziest story I think I've ever heard

They really ought to give him a desk job before he causes a fatality with his illegal chases and what not.

[Ruffels]

hey kris..... did poptart get you for power/weght?

out of interest.. what suburb were you in when he got you.. and what car was he driving>?

-mark

[R32Big_boy]

Anywhere out south east/ east he will get you.

[AlexCim]

god damn, its getting hard to mod cars there days!
