Im Worried About Being Epa'ed Anyone Got Any Tips?


Recommended Posts

well i just had some major work done on my car and there is no way i will get away with it if i pop my bonnet to a cop

i know everyone says if you drive sensibly you wont get pulled over but i think that is a load of

BS if you drive at night on the main roads where all the P platers drag and play around you will get pulled over

my question is that has anyone got any tips for avoiding a cop from popping the bonnet?

for example maybe dissconecting the bonnet pull latch and telling them its broken and i need a screwdriver to pop the latch?

i dont know what do you guys think

or has anyone got away with it before

create another bonnet latch, with ur factory one snip most the wires until its only held in place by one thread.. then tell the cop u dont know where ur bonnet latch thing is, when he goes to find/open it he will pull it and it will snap. Then hopefully he will feel bad and realise you can no longer open your bonnet as he has destroyed your car (it may catch fire).

Or if he is a prick, He will then give you a yellow sticker for being Un roadworthy coz ur bonnett latch is screwed and you cant open your bonnet

If you avoid opening the bonnet they'll just epa you anyway. They don't have to see shit to epa you. Your exhaust will be enough reason, not to mention the fact your avoiding opening the bonnet.

These sorts of things should have been thought through BEFORE you had the major work done.

too right, if they really wanted to get you, they'll get you. this is the consequences we import drivers have to take when we want to drive our cars. best thing to do is have all the spare parts ready to bolt back in when you get epa'd LOL

Make it look as stock as possible. like paint intercooler and pipeing black, stock looking heat shield etc. Plus if you get pulled over and they ask what mods you have done to your car. act dumb

Its a skyline - and u think they wont want to see under the bonnet? u better hope ur a female with massive tits, or major flirt if u get a chick cop - but i think even then u dont stand a chance :/

would u be speaking from experience?? :(

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
