Hey all, i need to clear an EPA notice in the next couple of weeks and my car is pretty much stock (R33 GT-R) except for a 3.5" turbo back exhaust. I've been told by Daalder in Dandenong (who do EPA noise testing too) that there's no way it'll pass cos even the stock exhaust barely passes in most cases.

Anyone got any ideas where to source a stock exhaust system? I've tried calling RE Customs and Racepace and a couple of local Jap/Import wreckers, I should hear back from them by tomorrow morning, but is anyone on here able to help, maybe you have one?

turbo timers have no use, my friends don't have 'em etc etc etc....

incorrect ash... with a turbo timer, you can put the windows up AFTER you have taken your keys out and realise the windows are still down... true story...

:O

yep it was a pettit effort indeed! Yer checked the vic roads site that list most of the guys i rang couldnt do it ...whether be airbag or dont do coupes..was wondering if there was an engineer SAU usually goes to when in trouble, Non the less thanx lads i shall keep looking!

Yer airbag is abit of a problem! Can u just remove the airbag? Non THe less i shall keep trying! @ alr33x yer mate...look @ the delema im in! go turnflow n u wont have to spend ure life looking for an engineer!

thanx guys

I'm curious to know if the EPA inspectors will pick up different low mount turbos on a gtr. Say garrett -7s or -5s or similar hks. I know your not suppose to have them but it's kinda hard to tell. If they are able to pick them, would they be likely to give u a hard time if u changed them back to stock but used r34 gtr turbos on a r33 gtr? I can get r34 turbos off mate if I'm likely to have to change the turbos over. Thanks.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
