Thanks for the info stolen_s15

It might be easier if I just post up the car's mods and if anyone can tell me which is defectable, apart from boost controller. Couldn't find any info on whether other items eg., turbo timer defectable.

HKS split dumps

HKS front pipe

HKS hipower catback (legal noise I think)

HKS adj cam gears (IN/EX)

HKS timing belt with Trust clear cover

Apexi pod air filter

Turbo timer

Nismo twin plate clutch (super coppermix)

Cheers. Much appreciated.

I seriously doubt your exhaust will pass noise. Thats about your only problem, but do read the regs i posted, it will give you a better understanding.

Well i got a Decfect this morning dunno what to do yet im in a hole bad any ideas on what i should change on my r33 gts-t?? i got

rb26/30 engine. what do i do with the engine remove or gamble?

motec ecu

3inch exhaust legal

front mount intercooler

boxed up pod filter similar to standard.. do i need the sensor re-fitted and working or just fittedand make it look as if working?

gt35/40 turbo. would this be ok if im running standard boost or change back to standard?

boost controller which im ganna remove.

can i keep the waste gate or do i have to remove it seeing i have already removed the boost controller?

i got an after market low mount exhaust manifold is this ok?

550cc injectors are ok?

Should have been smart about your creation because its not looking good :)

ECU - fail

Exhaust - likely to fail

FMIC - fail

No AFM - fail

Bigger than factory turbo - fail

Boost controller - fail

Wastegate - 150% fail

Manifold, useless, needs to be twins.

550's - fail

So, thats a big epic fail for you mate if you go to the EPA.

Then there is the issue of Engine number and so on for the RWC side/Vicroads etc.

It happens to be a noise epa becos they didnt look under the bonnet only complained abut the noise so will they test everything or just the noise?

If its noise only they wont look at anything else and you can go to a number of different certified workshops to get it tested. Mine failed on a similar thing and I got a custom exhaust end made that passes legal noise levels. Then they hand you a form with a pass and you mail it off to the EPA.

I was lucky I had a flange towards the rear of the exhaust, so they made an addition that would bolt on to that.

Mine was done by Noble Park Brake and Clutch. Had a very good experience there, happy to recommend them. I think the custom exhaust piece cost me $140 from memory. Most noise levels testers will only charge you once so the sound test especially if they fix the exhaust for you.

Almost anything bar a stock exhaust will fail. So whatever you get made will choke your car and power will disappear, but thats all you can do. If you can buy a whole second hand factory exhaust thats probably ideal.

So you already have the letter thats come in the mail???

Because until you get the letter in the mail, there is no way of knowing what you've been reported for.

The officer might have said it was too noisy, but that wont stop him from sending you for the full ringer EPA test @ Macleod Testing station.

You might as well get the exhaust made and correct so it flows, and is under 90dB.

I've just about got my full 3.5" to 90dB (92dB currently), its currently back in for work and should come out perfect. :)

who restrictive is the new exhaust power wise? like what was your power putput b4 and after the new exhaust?

Im planing of going standard all the way except for the engine,front mount ,exhaust. Well i made a big error of not knowing what im getting into now i realise but too late well its never late :)

what did u get defect for?

u need a rwc so does the bottem end match the rego sticker, if it does how far u from airport west?

did u get epa'd?

yea for the exhaust but how would i go about getting the bottom end matching the number on the rego sticker? im about 45min drive from air port west.

Lucky its just an exhaust epa. Funny thing is, a stock GTR won't pass a noise emission test. The government changed the rules a few years ago.

Instead of testing cars at 3000rpm they moved it up to around 5200rpm for GTR's. A stock GTR wont pass.

My advise. Get a stock exhaust and put as many baffles in it as you can.

(PS. Steel wool doesn't stay where you want it).

hey guys (sorry if this has been covered)

I received a letter in the mail stating that i have to get my car checked out by one of two places:

(werribee or moorabbin) where they do a full emissions test on my car.

mods are in sig...

i have a question regarding my Fmic, will this pass the test because i do have a standard airbox on

or will i have to put the SMIC back on also .

Also my local exhaust checked the db reading and it came to 92db (3inch exhaust)

Is there anything i can put on my exhaust (legally) to reduce the noise and if there isnt

Can i just change back to a standard cat back exhaust but still keep my split dump pipe.Will that pass

Cheers

They are only guidelines - down the bottom it says for more information to contact them.

So either way, im telling you, they are illegal. I've been to the EPA enough to know what does and doesnt pass :domokun:

If you dont think im right, by all means contact them, or try to get past with a GT35. I'll look forward the Lou's response to it (the inspector @ Macleod) :stupid:

Phatboy - have you read even one post in this thread?

I mean, im trying to be nice, but that question is simply silly.

IF YOU HAVE THE FACTORY INTERCOOLER YOU ARE ALLOWED NON OIL PODS AND VICE VERSA.

As per the 3rd post of this thread. Its there plain as day in the post, im think going to start cleaning this thread so it stops getting filled with 50 repeated questions...

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
