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

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!

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
