You're sure there's no EPA fine? I'm positive there is...

have you EVER heard of anyone coping this 10k fine for having either no cat/s or screamers? and if someone did get the 10k fine, the whole community would know.

it's just a big scare tactic, and all you'll get is a defect notice advising you to change it, if ur unlucky enough to get caught

Irrelevant, it's still illegal and whoever the stupid prick is who's the first one to come whining on the forums deserves what they have coming.

The EPA has very strict rules on emissions and the fines are enormous to stop people from running any vehicle outside of the clearly defined legislation.

De-catting and screamers should be for track use only, anything else then you deserve to be pinged.

Track use only? Let me guess you have a 92db - 94db exhaust system with a cat :laughing-smiley-014: have fun with that restrictive little system.

Why do you care so much what other people want to run? I maxed out a non industrial DB meter at 130db, so sue me? The guy asked where he could get a vented screamer pipe, not reasons why he shouldn't.

Key words "where to get them" not "tell me why I shouldn't"

If it matters, I have a legal exhaust with a metalcat... while it's no track monster it's certainly not gutless (250rwkw).

If Skyline owners are going to so careless about adhering to the law in this regard, don't we just have ourselves to blame when wondering why we're targeted as hoons? :) I for one hate the old POS silvia who cruises past my house daily with a 100+db milo tin, does nothing but give the rest of us a bad name.

To my knowledge QT used to carry out spot checks on emissions - mainly targeted at vehicles running Super - aside from that I'm not sure, have never been defected.

Also, before bitching that I deviated from the OP, note that I merely followed the direction the thread was taking.

soo then why dont the harleys/motorbikes and v8's get this 'hoon' tag aswell?

this is pointless argueing and we're just gonna get warned or some crap lol

there's been 2 names given so give them a ring champ :)

You contradict yourself. Hooning and a loud exhaust is not one of the same, although I will admit at times they attract the attention of police. Shiny = bad = he must be a "hoon". I'm not condoning people should run non complaint exhausts, I do as its my choice, like wise with the person who asked where to get a vented screamer pipe.

I could write you a half page news paper article theory on hooning, why it started and how its protraded now. However it has nothing to do with this thread, just like everything else in here albar the phone numbers on exhaust builders.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
