Hey guys just wondering if i can get your thoughts , Last night i was going for a drive To brighton le Sands , Close to Bay st i got pulled over by a police officer, gave me the random breath test was fine there but he then told me to follow him to the EPA Station.

I Firstly Got a RTA Defect Notice, I have to go to the RTA In Botany For a full inspection , Thats right not just someone who can clear it for me The real thing the RTA

1/ Insufficeint Ground Clearance , I dont understand my Car is more then 100mm off the ground My front lip isnt so i will remove it for the inspection

2/ High Mount Stop Lamp missing , I Have already put that in i borrowed one off a friend .

3/ I have to take me Engineers Certificate for all My modifications except filters

My question is how harsh are these Guys I have pretty Much fixed Up Everything Well there really wasnt much, i Have a half roll cage in the car and a racing bucket seat, As long as i have my engineers Papers for this kind of stuff will i be ok?

I then have to get a emission test thankfully not at the rta but at a workshop of some kind either in granville or in cambeltown

Only other thing was my filters i have to get them Covered , if i cover them with a Aluminoum Box of sort will they clear it ? Or would i have to get a standard Box?

My car is too Loud i have put the stock exsaught Back on so that is not a issue. My decible reading Hit 120 which is way over the 90 which it normally is.

Guys can anyone give me there thoughts, anyone been through this process anything i need to look out for ?

Thanx guys..

Hey buddy, i had a similar problem , in the same area, except i was parked and having dinner when my sunday got jacked.

In regards to the seat and cage, if they're engineered i cant see a problem there. I have heard there pretty strict on the full inspection though, my mate had to go back because he didn't have the baby seat hooks on the rear shelf after his system install.(nothing some glue didn't temporarily fix)

the exhaust may be a problem, if you have the stock back on should be fine, make sure your cat is ok as well. but make sure you remove any after market ecu or pfc you might have, as these will cause you to fail the emmisions test( if not detuned), which measures co2 and so on not just noise. I spent the night before detuning my car at my mates shop so it passed on his emmisions machine, but you have to take it to the nominated shops.

They might say something if you have replaced the intercooler without engineers as that affects emmisions as well.(mine was engineered)

the air box will have to be standard, unless its engineered. i can almost guarantee you will not pass no matter how good your own box turns out, as they take photos then send it to EPA who assess it.

I had the same drama except i was given a part inspection for the RTA defects which my mate cleared for me, but i did have to go to Granville, Archers motors for the EPA issue. i dealt with the owner there , hes a good bloke and its a mechanical workshop not just an EPA station so they're not di**heads like some other places. I refit the standard box, i was expecting to have to do an emmisions test, i kept my apexi exhaust on as i couldnt find a stocky in time. turns out i didnt need emmisions as i just passed the noise test on the sunday night and i had engineers certificate for the exhaust and emmisions.

(However he spent a good half hour on the phone with the EPA to make sure the emmisions test was cleared, as any other person would have done the test straight away)

HeyThanx mate,

In regards Yes i have the roll cage engineered and the intercooler , plenum , Bucket Seat , Wheels , ETC.

I am lucky to have a neighbour who does exsaugts so he put my one back to stock. there was a couple of few little thingz i fixed up missing bolts on the cage had to get them tightened and just a couple of other little things.. im going to book the car in to the rta on tuesday hope all is well . Im either going to Silverwater or Wetherill Park. i got out of going to botany as ive heard there very very very Bad there.....

I will be going to archer motors in ganville and i have heard that he is very good too....

One thing i dont understand is the down tuning ? Wouldnt it be easier if i just turned off my boost controller and left it on standard boost .... Or should i be taking it off for the Rta ?? Its been a bit of a headache for me...

you could be shifty and get an extra cat or 2 welded into your exhaust, or before you head down throw some (heaps of) steel wool before your cat to help with the emissions, otherwise you'll need to think about booking in for an emissions tune somewhere. i know Guilt-Toy does this but i think he's in newcastle :P

as long as the pods are enclosed and the cover looks like its sealing properly then you wont have any dramas with that.

whats going to totally freak you out is they're going to take your car behind closed doors to do the inspection and all of the emissions testing. i heard it f**ks with you a bit :(

goodluck!

Hey Joe,

I got away with the rta inspection thank god . He told me take it to a blue slip guy And let him call me from there ill authorise it so thats taken care of .

In terms of emmision test i can take it to a nominated workshop the guy in granville. I have put me exsaust totally back to stock sounds like a corolla now ...... Hid all the gauges under the steering wheel in the compartment Put the boost down to 10PSI Standard . Ive got all the engineers Papers as well For Cage, Intercooler, Aftermakret throttle , wheels, plenum ETC ..... So hopefull all goes well..

What i dont understand is why do i need to do downtuning for emiisions test . Ive put the Boost back down to 10PSI and exsaust is as standard as it gets Very very very Quiet ???

theres a few things that will effect it. the turbos you have on your car are bigger than standard rb26 turbos arent they?

10psi on your turbos equals to more flow (=more air, which means more fuel) than 10psi on the standard turbos so turning down the boost even more is your only option if you dont want to get your car detuned.

its either that, or throw a bunch of steel wool into the exhaust before the cat :domokun:

have a read through this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Em...ed-t155081.html

i think it would explain whats involved better than i could :(

Yes joe you make a point about that i did speak to the exsaust guy he did say to me the car should b fine . The exsaust he put on it now looks alot smaller then a standard GTR One . i guess ill see how the results go if i need to change anything i will if it fails..

i read the other post.. Similar Mods. Hes got Bigger Turbos .. Ive only got N1's i Actually thought there same size as Standard turbos just better built am i wrong there ???

I also read in one post if your fail first emiision test they cancel your rego ?? I think another difference is im not doing this emiisions test at the rta but at a workshop do i have a advantage in this case..

Thanx for all the help joe, guys./. :(

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
