Well I received my EPA in the mail, doesn't mention anything about the modifications he found but other than the exhaust it has all been put back to stock, gonna go down to an exhaust shop tomorrow to see what they can do but its 3" turbo back and 3.5" after the cat so it's pretty loud and I'm thinking stock catback with POSSIBLY the metal plate as R31Nismoid mentioned above added in is the only way it'll pass, any suggestions?

Cheers.

Yeah just spoke to an exhaust guy and he said it'll pass with stock cat back which is good, now I need to find someone who will lend it to me for a week in exchange for a slab or something..

Do they care that my N/A airbox doesn't fit properly with stock turbo piping and is only bolted down with one bolt? surely they wouldnt..

Is it full emissions test or noise only ? I got stock cat back but a guys borrowing for an EPA At the moment should have it back by this time next week welcome to borrow if you don't find one sooner

Well I'm not really sure thats the thing, the TMU officer pointed out manual boost controller, pod+intercooler and loud exhaust, now gone back to stock with the controller cos it was useless anyway, airbox is on (N/A one doesnt even fit :/ ) and the exhaust I suppose has to be under 90dB. It doesn't specifically state any modifications on the form but it says "Emission Control Systems And Noise" as the title :( $80.70 to get it tested it says.

Yea that's a full EPA. Car must be completely stock or legal (1 intake mod)

So I can leave the intercooler on? Cos theres a hole cut for that nor do I have the original cooler.

Leave the cooler on and have your stock airbox on. If your car isn't heavily moded you'll be fine

I know :( Previous owner has it for 6 years with the mods doesn't even get pulled over, I get stuck in a booze bus 2 weeks after purchase and I get done for his mods :( At least theres no massive mods, exhaust is all I have to worry about now.

Is there a difference between an N/A and GTS-T airbox or have I just set it up all wrong cos it hardly fits :P

I've had 1 full EPA with current mods and think there may be another one on it's way. But for me I have to change: turbo, injectors, afm, exhaust, boost controller and ECU. So yours will be fine

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
