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

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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
