Both fairly straightforward jobs. Really depends how fussy workshop is and how bad the leaks are. If you pressure wash beforehand and it's a minor weep it may not be an issue. ANother option is of cou

It is interesting, the dynamic currently. I think with the camera/database and automated method of checking number plates, they already know what kind of driver you are (speeding fines, previous

ay guys,

i currently are gettin a roadworthy and have been told that "Exhaust is to loud - EPA noise test required" and i have a 3" full exhaust.. i have read the whole topic..

however, just wondering if they will check my ECU for the noise test cauz i currently have a powerFC..

and if they do check its ok because i have the stock ecu.. but if i swap them will the current settings i have on the powerfc remain or will it reset??

and has anyone been successful with a cheap alternative for exhaust noise??

If all you need is the 'noise test', its done at an exhaust shop, they DONT check anything except your exhaust noise output. (For mine anyways).

A cheap alternative - get the stocker fitted.

Cheers,

You were defected for a illegal car, this isnt a whinge thread mate :(

This is a help thread.

As for the suspension travel rules. If you take the time to look at the links in the first couple of posts that refer to VicRoads VSI's and website.

You'll see the rulings and what can/cant be done. Its all very clear as i have read it myself before.

cheers

Ok. Iv got an EPA test on Friday. I was told to take off my boost controller, pod filter since have a cooler, the blow off valve and put stock one on, and take my exhaust, 3 inch all the way, off and stock one on. I also have a bosch 044 fuel pump......Should i change this, or leave ?

OK man. I had my EPA today, i was told that if i get called back again, for my exhaust in particular, i would incur a $500 fine. WTF. this is what the guy actually told me himself several times today. Am not sure if he was trying to scare me to sellin it (he did mention selling my rb20 i said fug dat), or if he was serious.

How can we be so sure, without coping it :yes:

so nismoid if you get called back to EPA you get a $500 fine?

since when?

you just said before EPA for emission test is free, epa for exhaust test goes by the shop its tested at...

is this meant to be something new is it?

Well read the paperwork they send you.

Its all on there, if you havent got paperwork, then dont worry about it.

The test is indeed free. Fines however are not part of the test.

It used to be 3rd time and you'd get fined, that could have changed etc.

So, just read the letters. I've never had a defect/epa letter that was not perfectly clear about what i needed to do, or how to find out more info

dont drive a long distance with them as they burn out,

when it was finished being tested ( IT WORKED!! )

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
