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. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
