R31 Nismoid, you're misunderstanding my question. I KNOW you can only have one intake mod (pods or FMIC).

My question was to Dogknight who said:

"Air pod - only okay if you dont have a front mount added on (GTR excepted)"

Why would the GTR be any different from any other car in terms of only having one intake mod?

StolenS15, I think that the exhaust is legal as apparently it was taken to Vicroads for an inspection and got passed a month ago.

To me, it sounds relatively quiet even when revving for some reason. Definitely quieter than a lot of the WRXs around. If it drove past, the noise wouldn't immediately make you think it's illegal. I guess time will tell.

*sigh* im not. Your misunderstanding what the letters on the screen are saying :)

He means the FMIC is OK on a GTR (the factory one) as thats how it comes from the factory.

SO PODS ARE OK if you have the STOCK INTERCOOLER

If your running the standard boost and the standard ECU no boost controler why should the gt35 turbo effect the epa test aslong as the emssions are ok the turbo should pass right ??

Seriously mate, can you ring the EPA and argue with them?

This is a help thread for users, not a thread to debate the rules.

If you wanna argue/debate the rules then take it up with the Gov't body concerned (in this case, EPA)

i heard a cat will decrease the db reading by 5 db but how much difference does it make on the emission reading? Dunno why EPA is so agro for aslong as it passes there emissions test shuldnt it be sweet?

I think you should read up on what exactly it is a catalytic converter does :)

for a quick fix chicken wire is ur best friend, fill the f*kn exzorst with it make sur its in tight as well, lol the look on the epa guys face when u blow out 3meters of chicken wire on the db machine will be funny..

ash can i have a front mount intercooler, an air box but also a top mounted 3540 on my gtr???

i think having 3 cats and 3 resonaters and 1 oval muffler will fix the problem on the old 3 inch... Also what i understand from the thread is that we can have wastegates aslong as they are internal and standard right?

As Ash mentioned. You can only have one additional air intake modification.

A GTR comes with a FMIC from the factory, so its legal to add pods and have the FMIC.

With a GTST it comes with a SMIC from the factory, so if you add a FMIC and Pods, you have two additional air intake mods.

But as always, read EPA guidelines and clarify with them. Lots of people drive cars that do not follow the guidelines. Do so at your own risk.

You cant change a GTR cooler from the factory one.

Just because the GTR comes with a FMIC stock, doesnt mean you can put another one in there.

Same as upgrading a R33 sidemount to a R34 sidemount. Its a change to the factory option

Thank you for the clarification. Word of mouth information always has to be taken with a grain of salt. Ill rectify my post.

Pretty sure I've read that you can change it...I don't have the exact wording handy, but it read something like:

An intercooler can be changed as long as the general position and dimensions are maintained...

having said that, you'd be quite stiff if you were done for a 34SMIC on a 33, or an aftermarket core on a GTR...

Read the EPA doco :(

"Intercoolers tha are larget than standard... are permitted only if no other changes to the intake system have been made. In other words, you may have a pod filter or modified/added intercooler, but not both"

I dont think it could be any more clear in all honesty :P

Well you change it aslong as it is a upgrade which is factory standard. e.g if u got a gtr intercooler you can change it to a v-spec intercooler as long as it retains the factory fittings to it i.e sensors etc

Dezz ur right dude, i got a large FMIC but got the standard airbox and meter as soon as they saw the air box he just closed the bonnet back :P

Well you dont need to have a pod on a GTS_T all you need is to modify the box and retain the meter thats what they what after all the meter as in original functioning way

This thread has shown an amazing inability by people to perform even the most basic reading comprehension. Bravo!

Oh and Larri you have alot of work ahead of you to get close to passing epa. It would prob be cheaper for you to buy a stock R33 in the same colour, order another rego sticker and change the plates over for a day.

Well actually im just going to sell my engine in bits and pieces and just put back in the good old rb25 :P BUT i just been reading the epa article no where does it say you cannt put in a rb26 as long as it meets the same or more stringent requirements.

s_15 LOL who said that it would cost you that much... Do`nt know who charges you that much for a quick engine swap and a reswap later on. Hopefully you been saving alot if they are charging you this much.

i got 89.7 db backing off in the big rb26/30 woohooo thanks for your experience and information guys much appreciated. well i just put 2 cats in and 2 resonators and a big oval at DA back :D was sweetly done

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
