man

when the cops do a general licence check, u wont leave withing 5 mins, regardless if u have a brand new corrolla or highly modiefied gtr.

just sit back, ive been pulled over in my car, which is a fair bit louder than ur car most likely esp on any sort of throttle, and driven away without nuffen.

watch your attitude, altho if u have a bad driving history, cops r usually assholes to u straight away, also doesnt help when u drive an import or hoon car.

i doubt u will get an epa notice, if u do, dont stress bout it. before u go to the epa, goto an exhaust shop, get it db tested, if its over, borrow a stock cat back, and ur set

I had pretty much the same thing happen about 2 weeks ago, Cop pulled me over for a "Random Breath Test", checked my license, asked me to pop the bonnet and took a look under there, asked me if the exhaust was on it when i got it, etc... anyway then he left with a "thanks mate".. all good (or so i thought). He actually forgot to breath test me in the end :)

Yesterday I got a letter from the EPA saying i was observed on that day and "the vehicle was considered to be either excessively noisy or had a faulty exhaust system". Anyway I have to get it tested, gotta get a new exhaust system coz there's no chance that it will pass whatsoever, it's soooo loud (but i love it :)).

Just what I need at Christmas time ;)

well, that was the first time ive been pulled over so that could be my warning... the reason they pulled me over was because i was in the merging lane just had my bonnet infront of them and i speed up a little to get in front as i had right of way in the first place... so maybe they had nothing on me anyway as they were suposed to give way to me and didnt til the last minute......

they might have been hoping i dropped a gear and sunk the slipper into it. but i didnt. :) lucky!

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
