hears a link with info reagarding the EPA's allowed mods on cars and what they can get you for

http://epanote2.epa.vic.gov.au/EPA/Publica...6;FILE/1031.pdf

some points that court my eye.

not allowed oiled air filter (good by k&n), larger or more injectors, inlarged or aftermarket throtel body/ or plenums, any for of ecu up grade unless can be adr aproved. forced induction convertion unless the car came out with an option.

http://www.ntc.gov.au/filemedia/Reports/Na...austNoiseTe.doc

this link has the method for conduction noise testing on motor vechiles

basily it 3/4 of full rpm so 4875rpm for an rb30e or 3200rpm if this can not be worked out.

and noise level allowed is 90db for cars amde after 1985

the EPA can take that rule and shove it up its ass then pull it out and shove it up all other employees ass. It'll be a cold day in hell before they can stop me from modding my car

yep epa can get f**ked, however i was talking to my mate last night at work and we got on to about the epa.

and he told me if you were to dob some one in you have to go to courte witht person and prove that he did the offence that you clame. so in hind site these letters that we get can be challanged and we can ask who is makeing the complaint. he told me why he was going to ring the epa litter/smokey vechile hot line was as follows. he nearly got run over by a p plater in an ss vt commondore so he thought i fix u up and got the rego, he then rang epa they said ok and then sent out a mounten of doc and said that you will have to show in courte to prove that the offender litted or vehicle was smokey.

so if i get one of these letters ill ask whos complaing and take it to court.

    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen. The photos from the Offset Kings event at Sunrise 2016. https://fatlace.com/offset-kings-okayama-at-sunrise/
    • Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
