If you pass an EPA with a silencer in, youll have to weld the silencer to the exhaust so it can no longer be removed. One of the conditions of the EPA. Im sure its been mentioned already somewhere though.

Yes it has to be Spot Welded!! but it can be removed!!! its better then being harassed by the cops!!!!

Im just wondering if i have a catback exhaust,front pipe,dumpe pipe from turbo 3'inch all the way with a high flow cat, just wondering if its still legel in the streets of victoria? i know this has been answered before but i just want to make sure if its ok.

Thanks, Geraus

what about if i have a safc ?

would i get dicked ?

You will only get dicked if 1. you have something illegal 2.they find it.

The SAFC is not legal, but if they dont find it you wont get caught. What i'm getting at is take it or, or hide the shit out of it!

went today to get the epa thingo

:rofl:

i was 92db... so yeah failed.

and my safc i just didnt disconnect i took the whole thing about.. like the lcd screen and hid the mainboard in the car.

so if uze have that... try it ?

Hey guys just got my first epa letter! from the police that pulled me over...the letter states i need to get a mechanical check and a noise test.. The current mods i got so far is a FMIC return factory blitz LM and a Turboback exhaust system 3'inch with high flow cat, it ok to go the place with it on or better to take it off the blitz cooler LM? .. honestly my exhaust isnt loud. its a Trust/Greddy PE II as ppl on these fourms would even know there not even that loud...

Thanks Geraus.

Cooler will be fine as long as you dont have a pod also. Put your stock exhaust on, yours will most likely fail.

In other news I got an EPA letter the today, shat my pants. Opened the letter and it was only for flicking a ciggie. Needless to say I was a very happy camper, and will not be throwing ciggies around again.

Each time you get it tested it will generally be around $40. So you can try with your mods on but Skylines in general just pass with the stock exhaust on, so a very good chance that it will fail with your current one.

I had a look through but couldn't find any information...

What’s the deal with external waste-gates, can you have them as long as they are plumbed back into the exhaust?

I have heard mixed responses on this so just wanted to clarify.

Just another quick question, Can i still pass the EPA test with my stock catback but still have my 3inch front trust/greddy pipe and turbo dump pipe?

bceause i just connect my catback to them. Its not that noisy but just to make sure.

Possibly but unlikely. If you had a full 5 inch straight through off the dump pipe with no cat or resonator and it was below the volume limit, you would pass. It doesnt matter on the equipemtn for that kind of test, rather the volume of your exhaust. So you can try with your current stuff on, however you are looking at roughly $40 per test.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
