that's like paying for someon elses fuel at the petrol station!

WE ARE :)

lining the govt pockets with tax - so they get free fuel lol

The $27 is what I was charged to visit a license testing station (basically a certified exhaust shop) and see whether it was under 90db. If it is just a noise complaint, they test it, and if its under they write it off and you continue driving.

http://www.epa.vic.gov.au/Noise/testers.asp

But the clearance is actually nothing, some other twat can just report you the following week and you have to go through the process again.

Anyway, yes it sucks, no, we can't do anything about it... only possible solution is to vote Bracks out at next election.

so does that mean if u produce that certificate, get yur car cleared that you won't get exhaust epa'd again?

what happens if another copper the next days hears u scooting around and decides to be a wanker and report you again...

do you hafta fork out another test and cert or can you use the previous one and shove it up their asses and say that yur legal??

again it comes back to Vbands - my exhaust system is all attached by V-bands rather than 3-bolt flanges (will try and post a pic tomorrow). I haven't found anyone who can make up these weird attachment things (especially in a 3.7" diameter) and i don't really want to cut up a 1500 dollar Trust exhaust!

u can put a silencer in which may fix some exhausts' noise problem.. but it has to be welded in to be legal.

I'd say, while yes, officially that piece of paper has no bearing once you've driven outside the test place... if you kept getting realed in and there was no obvious changes each time to your exhaust system you could start taking legal action for them wasting your time. You'd need a lot of money or rich parents to do that though ;)

i got on epa test on my previous car for noise levels, and passed. 2 weeks later they sent me another letter of complaint, so i had to get another... waste of time and money!

luckily with this current car, i have a silencer which basically makes it sound stock except for a hummmm..... and i kept the original.... ;)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
