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?

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By eli995 · Posted

      (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)

      This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.

      I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system

      I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.

      As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
