You'll find that a Ferrari has winged doors in the exhaust that only open above a certain RPM :D

And other manufacturers cars might sounds loud under load, but remember... and this is what you are forgetting.

The test is done without load.

You know, f**k it. I am buying the apexi com.avcr boost controler,injectors,turbos and going to produce 1000 horses at the fly wheel..

Bring it on epa....

If Australia can sell coal overseas, stick their fingers up at all the other countries of the world and

refuse emission targets set ,so will i...

thats the spirit, no point trying to be green/clean when the government doesn't act the same way :D

They enjoy selling all the coal they can and using for coal power plants, without any concern for the Kyoto treaty etc...so why should we get worried over a few high emissions?

Ahhhhh memories.

I remember when I first bought my car and was scared to mod this and that. I was worried what would happen if I was caught and how much it would cost. At the end of the day on a forum like this, if you ever do get caught there are always people willing to help, just ask Maverick.

All I can say is KEEP your stock parts, don't sell them. If you ever do get caught just wack them back in :banana:

Happy modding :action-smiley-069:

^ what's the point of that? if what ash say is right, (new laws, even a stock GTR can't pass)

ok, we'll now rev to 5100rpm

oh ok, let me just set that on my fancy shmancy rev limited, there you go 5100rpm

right o.... fail. next.

are you saying that they won't be able to rev it passed 4K? that will be pointless as they will know there is a restriction somewhere, find it, disable, and continue with the test.

kyoto is waste of time without everyone involved. don't wait for stuff like that, do it yourself. Join green fleet, change your light bulbs, get solar panels, use more public transport, car pool when you can. Plant craploads of trees. Don't chop down ones you have. Turn off any appliance you don't need on, standby modes use almost as much power as machines being on, etc, etc...

sad fact is, without countries like china/india involved, kyoto is worthless

EDIT: so Dr Drift ECU tune is illegal?

you really are a straight edge...

You didnt know the bee r shoots flames and will singe the eyebrows off the epa blokes?

Or

Are you all defensive about making fun about things?

When it comes to epa im all for passing etc.. But who can be fooked honestly

ofcourse

Technically they're not illegal as they are not 'user tunable', just require a full emmisions test to prove they meet relevant ADR's, in the same way that any password lockable aftermarket ECU can be passed.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
