oh also nearly forgot...

for the epa test, ive got a turbo back exhaust and was thinking of just chucking the stock cat back system and leave the front and dump pipe.. u guys recon i would still pass the noise test?

cheers

I passed with front/dump and stock cat back was close though

Can tell you now I've seen a good 3-4 dB drop, sometimes more, sometimes less.

Totally depends on each setup as i said, too many variables from size of pipe, condition of mufflers etc.

Usually a few small holes placed around is what is common.

Just to note - it is illegal.

EPA will also write down the configuration of the exhaust when you go for the TEST. So they will know you went in with a stocker. If you keep doing it, you'll eventually get called in for a full-ream EPA.

how thick is this sheet of metal? and i take it it's just a cut to the flange shape?

almost thinking f this, i'm going to try for a technicality for having the location noted wrong on the notice... what a friggen hassle...

just borrow stock exhaust, go to local exhaust shop ask em to make it so it can pass? My local guy looks after me but we have done business on numerous cars over many years but yeh i have never had a problem passing noise tests

^ you have pm! :D

hook a brother up! i don't even have to do the EPA thing, i just have to bring the piece of paper down to Vicroads and they're going to clear it.

if you can get dodge roadies, surely some people will give you a 'passed' exhaust test piece of paper

otherwise i'll start a thread to see if i can borrow a 34 R stock exhaust and do the baffle thing

Thing is I've spent a decent amount at this guys. So he does it for me and my brother. Not sure if he would do it for anybody. Don't want to advertise him as a complete dodgy guy haha

And also have a connection with a leanient rwc guy. But once again not sure of he will do it for anybody lol

Or you could just get an exhaust that flows but is legal, as long as you dont have monster power its not that hard or expensive and will still have a good note to it.

thanks for the offer mate but Racepace sorted me out :)

Shit Ash! 1db off!! fark, i reckon you could prob find some places that would just pass it if it was that close... that's crazy. Might ask them if i can perhaps do a back to back with my current setup.... but, i do love my titanium exhaust...sooo pretty :D

anyways, defect cleared. Vicroads were cool about it, nothing was even on file! so they couldn't even really clear it but set something up in the system to get it sorted. Guy down there knew his cars, had a good chat... he was NOT impressed with the VicPol or vicroads call centre when i explained the situation. "Bunch of nufties" i think was the expression :D

in other news, followed a GT3RS home tonight, fark me they're loud! Not a snowballs chance in hell it's under 90db. I'd love to get all the AMG's, M cars, HSV's, FPV's, Porkas, Lambos, Ferraris, Astons, Maseratis etc and sound test them all, surely most would be over 90db... wonder how hard it would be to get the rules changed...

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
