Mate ive got a solution for You, I have a VERTEX Muffler which has a electronic silencer in it , in other words when the boys in blue pull you over you just press the switch and the muffler Closes Up :D Ive used it many times as cops have pulled me over and they had nothing on me :P

HAHA MRGTR911.... thats pretty smart :domokun:

Thats really smart where could i get hold of one of those babys ?

If the engine has:

i)i) 5 cylinders or less 4000 rpm.

ii)ii) 6 cylinders 3200 rpm.

iii)iii) 8 cylinders 3300 rpm.

iv)iv) more than 8 cylinders 4300 rpm.

v)v) If the engine is a rotary engine 4500 rpm rpm.

In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used.

4.1.44.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface.

4.1.54.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 525mm ±25mm.

I cant remember how much it was it was Either $500 or $600 Fitted , I Stongly advise guys you get one of these I Have a r32 GTR With aftermarket Dumps And Front Pipe Then running a 3 1/5 straight through Exsaust No Cats , Verttex Muffler at the back is connected with all wiring its a 5 inch by the way , All you do is drive and When you see a cop or something press this button and bang it closes up and my car sounds like a standard GTR , Then switch it back on and Bang back to normal , It does not affect performace at all only when it is closed .

Hey Mate Paid 27k For my Car And have spent like 20k since i got it to sydney , it was not stock when i bought it but i had to make alot of changes since i bought ut from japan ... E.G, Ecu , Turbos , Interior Changes ETC. As in Japan it had more of a race set up and now ive got more of a street set up , but it is still prepared for race :thumbsup: , so ive got myself a street - Race car :P

or is it like a sleeper? :thumbsup:

To be honest alot of people get afraid of it mainly because i got the cage in there And its really loud and tough looking i get alot of thumbs up , But i always get the Bogans In there v8s geeing me up thinking they got a chance but the look on there Face When I pass them , They aint too too happy :)

having an exhaust silencer is illegal in nsw

motorbikes db limit is 100db

Yeah its illegal but honestly wouldnt you rather put it on ? I was with my cousin on the weekend he has one on his RX7 And his got a bridgeport 13B Very Very loud , A police officer pulled him over and asked him why it was so loud ( He didnt see the police officer in enough time to press the button ) He told the officer there was a loose screw in the engine thats why it was loud he opened up the bonnet made it look like he was screing something pressed the button and it went qiuet and the cop believed him :thumbsup:

ahh no, i got my exhaust done by hi tech mufflers made to pass db levels (84db at 4800rpm) so i dont have to dick around with silencers and have to put up with that annoying drone in the cabin. and it's not restrictive at all. i honestly don't know how people drive around with loud exhausts day in day out.

and it's sounds like that cop was a dumb shit btw :thumbsup:

ahha sweet.. ur car sounds awesome!

u going to wakefield??

Do cops know if you have a silencer or not?

you would get into alot of Sh*ts if they found out rite? :P

is it possible if u could record ur exhaust with and without the silencer? :thumbsup:

another question... r motorbikes, truck & buses the same? i.e 90db? or do they have another figure?

I read somewhere that cars were to be 90db or less and motorbikes 93db!!!!!

Harleys are that at least just at idle!!!!

I've been sent a letter home from the EPA surprisingly for a reported loud exhaust, mine is pretty darn quiet. Someone must of dobbed me in.

Anyways had to go to a muffler shop and get it tested.

For a Skyline, the letter said it had to be revved to half the rev range, but mine said 4500rpm. Got it tested, all was under until the throttle was lifted at which point a couple of small pops set the reader over 90db.

Ouch!!! Get a life dobbers!!!

once again:If the engine has:

i)i) 5 cylinders or less 4000 rpm.

ii)ii) 6 cylinders 3200 rpm.

and yea smitizen u hit it on the head. CARS are limited to 90db

Man your boring i do my neighbours a favour waking them up in the morning. they thank me everyday :P

Loud cars for life :)

sorry man i dont really have time for the track ,

Look cops can bust you for a silencer but what can they do ??? They can issue you with a defect in which case you wil go pass it and then go from There ??? But i dont think many cops would pick these electronic ones as it is very hard to notice it unless your the smartest cop around. there aint many of them :thumbsup:

gah.!

speaking about the exhaust... couple of street racers... revving their engines and flooring the throttle down my road!

grrr.! *God Dam street racers* lol :P

bet u their ricers.. i'm trying to get a glimpse of the cars :thumbsup:

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
