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?

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.

      Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
