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

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
