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.... ;)

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
