i just got epa letter in the mail for sound levels on the car now im just wondering when i go to get it tested do i only have to worry about the exhust noise or what about the turbo flutter, fmic and pod filter?

so XY GTHO's get left alone

icic

G'day all,

I'm in need of a place that does RWC near Frankston (couple of places has tried to rip me off), happy to drive to Moorabbin or Dandenong. Anyone decent would be nice...

Racepace :down: just k/d

just a question, i was at the warrigal rd and north rd intersection lights turnging right onto north rd and i accidently went through the red light and i got flashed but then i thought about it and it flashed as the car is turned on side so would it have only taken the picture from the side of my car of can they somehow get the back of the car?

nah its a emissions test aswel so there going to be checking turbo frontmount pod boost controler etc im just wondering will they say anything about that ive grounded my stock boost solonoid

Hey everyone

I have 18" Gmax enigma rims on my r32 gts-4 they are 8" wide and they have 235/40 R18 tyres on them.

I was defected for having bald tyres.

I went to vicroads to clear the defect and they told me that my tyres and rims are too big for my car. They said that the largest tyres i can have are 215/50 and rims no larger than 16" on the front and back.

is this true? are my rims illegal?

thanks

The vicroads standards state:

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/RulesS...rdsInformation/

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyre...8340/0/VSI8.pdf

"The width of any replacement rim must not be:

more than 25mm greater than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series."

Sounds pretty open, but 8inch wide sounds fine, you could even go 9inch wide since a GTR had 8inch rims...(I think)

"The overall diameter of any replacement rim and tyre must not be:

more than 15mm greater than largest diameter tyre specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series."

And same as above for 15mm less...

Track increase is, from http://www.toyo.com.au/TechInfoPDFs/Altern...Regulations.pdf

"WHEEL TRACK

The maximum allowable wheel track increase is:

* 25mm for a front axle or rear axles with independent suspension,

* 50mm for other rear axle types,

* Zero for front-wheel-drive vehicles with McPherson struts and negative scrub-radius

steering geometry or a diagonally split braking system.

got me an EPA letter. only had the car 2 weeks from the date the police 'observed' my car with a 'faulty or loud' exhaust system.

its a jasma system from the cat back, with cannon and mid oval muffle

com'on....

ah well, see how it goes.

  • 4 weeks later...

Jasma approved exhaust? What brand is it? Jasma means its approved for legal use in japan, but will probably still be too loud and will not get under 90db.

My jasma approved fujitsubo exhaust wouldnt have passed the EPA i got. Just got a custom rear muffler made up to quiet her down. Got home after the test and just chucked on my original muffler :down:

just got my first epa for exhaust noise yay.

got a question. the nearest place for me to get tested is about 30-35mins away now can any exhaust place check to see if it is legal before i go to one of these places for the real test? i have a 5zigen cat back its a proper muffler to not a cannon plus has another resonator in the system.

The exhaust place (Ace in Ringwood) I use will tell you if it won't pass a test before you fork out for a noise test. They're also an approved tester.

If you have a muffler, and a resi - you'll fail. Resonators do NOTHING to quieten RB's down :P

You need a dual muffler system, BIG mufflers at that.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
