car was defected while a mate was driving and i have since taken it to have the defect cleared, basically was a major defect to be cleared by authorised blue slip place. any ways was for blow off valve, pod, inside of tyres being warn, and also check that exhaust complies to adr standards or whatever - check is not louder then 90dB and car to have full pit inspection, any way i took it to have the exhaust level checked, then took it to a blue slip place they said they were too busy directed it to some body else, the guy i took it to said even tho my exhaust was only 86.3dB he wouldnt clear it because its not standard he said i have to have an engineer check my emissions and do a thingy for me, any way i reckon its a bit bullshit, any one done this before, if the copper wanted my emissions tested would i have not been sent to epa? im yet to take it to another place for a second opinion

they usually send the EPA letter a week or so later. you'll probably get that soon.

as long as your car checked out to be under 90db and you had proof of that when you went to get the blue slip, then there was no reason for them not to pass you.

all you need to do is comply with the standard, not be standard. you might need to explain that part to them.

also, if you get the EPA letter i suggest clearing that before going for the blue slip.

A lot of places won't pass an exhaust on a defected car, as it can come back to haunt them. A vehicle really does need to be engineered if it has any modification which can change its emissions.

Having said that, you shouldn't have too many problems passing emissions as long as you have a working cat converter.

The advantage of having an engineers certificate, combined with legal modifications, is that when you get pulled over, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

any ideas on a good engineer who dosnt cost to much?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
