Both fairly straightforward jobs. Really depends how fussy workshop is and how bad the leaks are. If you pressure wash beforehand and it's a minor weep it may not be an issue. ANother option is of cou

so if you did get pulled over for being too low in a factory fezza... what happens then?

the law CLEARLY states that no point of any road driven vehicle can be below 100mm... (i have looked on the vic roads site and it does not say "except fezza's cos they are cool and hyperexpensive"

when i got defected last week EPA was there and they tested my exhaust and i was 9db over and i am going to make my exhaust and make it more quite and around the legal limit. but im running a PFC in my car and just to be on the safe side if they do an emmisons test im gonna install a stock ecu for the test but having a highflow turbo will it still give a different emissons reading even though its running a stock computer?

An f430 has 4.5 inches ground clearAnce which is like 11cm. I'm guessing it looks low cuz the body is prob the lowest point and not a hanging exhaust

yah, but they have other models too... i'm not sure of fezza dimentions tho...

and the exhaust is not always the lowest point in a car.... mine is a custom job and is all tucked away :)

I'm getting around to clearing my EPA that I got last august.

They only show 2 places for Emissions and noise. Hoppers and Moorabin.

Anyone know of closer to where I live in doncaster east? I heard there was one in McCloud but can't find it on their website.

I have to get an EPA noise and emissions test done fairly soon and was wondering If I could get some advice? I have a R33 gtr vspec series 3, current mods are, -5 turbos, power fc, greedy elec boost controller, nismo fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator and injectors, cam gears, exhaust, and pods

I was planning to remove the boost controller, return the injectors and ecu to stock. I believe that the turbos shouldnt be a problem as they are nearly the same as stock. Do I need to return the fuel pump and pressure regulator to stock, I know Im meant to but will they effect emissions if the stock ecu is controlling them and would the inspectors be able to tell between the stock and nismo items. I will quieten the exhaust and leave it that way. Also if I refit the stock ecu will I need to get the car retuned? And is there a difference between an ecu for a gtr and gtr vspec. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I live in Greensborough and still had to go to Hoppers to get my full emissions test done. Was a major pain in the arse. Apparently the Macleod one doesn't to that kind of stuff, which sucks coz its like 10 mins away from me.

Mcloud do that sort of stuff. They only send you there when you have had prior EPA issues. I've been to 2 noise test and a full emissions test in moorabbin. Then got another EPA and they said I must go to mcloud. Which is better because they don't have a hoist :P

Did you explain the situation?

Just said that McCleod would be a lot easier since I will be towing it there and they said that those 2 places are the only ones I can go to.

Typical Government Agency. Everything is just too hard for them.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
