You can... I think.

I've read it somewhere, its just a question of was it relating to EPA or VicRoads that didnt care (or both possibly)

Check the first pages links. It will be in there somewhere Colin.

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,

ok thanks heaps for that.

Shoot me a PM, i give you details of what I did/who i went to.

Not saying they can help you, but im sure they will try and do the best they can....

Cheers,

Dan :closedeyes:

got a major defect for car bein 9.8cm < 10cm limit

is that really a major defect...dont see why i need to get a rwc for that..

previously ive been pulled over on chapel st and other places and have had the same problem..but those cops said that it was marginal..and that i am on the limit.. why da fuNk do i hav to spend money on a useless rwc.. *ARGH*

also cop mentioned something about the car has to have "minimum 2/3's of the original travel" ? what does that mean? O_o

thanks,

btw...anyone got a set of stock springs..had enough of this crap..glad to swap with my lowered springs :bunny:

ps. its for r33 gtst s1.

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

HAHAHA ok so my mate got done for his car being to loud,

so we went and got heaps of Fly Wire and down the road from the place we pulled over and

you just scrunch it up and shove it in the exust pipe!

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

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

we just gave it heaps down the freeway and the flywire shot out the back!

it was really funny, people wore driving past us,

and i was shoving flywire up an exust!

haha

it did work though!

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
