It's not 75%

It's a set RPM determined by the EPA - which is more than that.

Either way, you need to be 89dB @ 4900rpm - that includes on back off/rundown. Which is usually what trips the meter.

Unless you have a stock exhaust, you'll fail.

My memory is hazy on this, but I thought it was around 60% of peak RPM (based on the factory limit) at 500mm at around 45 degree off axis with minimal reflective surfaces during the measurement (the meter must be away from reflective surfaces.)

Can't remember where I had this information though, so not 100% sure it's right...

EDIT: actually I thought it was 50% of max rpm...

Gotta find the EPA doc...

Well.. If he said you'll get it in the mail - guess what? You'll get it in the mail :merli:

You really need to have a read of this thread. It'll give you a fair idea of what you need to change.

You'll only need to change the things that can be picked up. ECU is obvious, you already know that. So what else does the ECU control? Injectors, AFMs etc. Only stock items can run on a stock ECU etc.

Unless you own a gtr which when it rolled out of the factory in japan was over the 90db limit for Australia ... go figure that one out.

A while ago i read there was specific areas that are exempt from height rules, from what i read it was a meter either side of the axles, downloaded the mod guide from vic roads to check and there is nothing in there any more, it is a new one too, october 2011 is the date on it now.

Last time i looked at it exhaust manifolds were free as long as all the original fittings were retro fitted, now you need to have documents from the manufacturer to say that the manifold you are using is suitable for that car/engine, im glad my chinese stainless manifold cracked and i went back to standard.

seems things are getting worse

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
