A simply rule of thumb for you;

If the car comes standard with a item and you replace it with a "better" or "different" item you do not require a mod plate.

For instance i put a high mount turbo on my r33 when i had it, and no i didnt need a modplate as he car was factory fitted with a turbo. I was simplly changing it for a "better" aftermarket item, and i still included all anti-polution items required to make it 100% legal...

So in short no you do not need a mod plate for an exhaust at all.

As for legality of the exhaust all you need to watch out for it that at the lowest point it is more than 100mm off the ground and that it is not over 90db and you'll be fine...

So, is this the same case with BOVs?

Called Qld Transport a Mod Plate Engineer and 5 Reputable Exhaust Shops

All came back with the same answer saying u dont need a mod plate.

Qld Transport said that u need to ensure that all Oxygen Sensors and any other sensors are connected and it needs to be below 90Decibels

Pretty unfair they can just get u for whatever they feel like!

Stupid cops, the problem is they keep thinking they are smartter than a Fifth Grader. When did 6mths of cock oops I mean cop academy prepare them to be judge and jury? I thought you are innocent untill proven guilty I guess thats not true if you drive a import. Oh well, I guess thats why they are called flamin mongrelstables oops I mean constable.

Why don't you write a letter/or call the station that the cop that gave you the fine came from, speak to a supervisor and say that you got this fine, you've researched and spoken to people at Queensland Transport and that according to them there's nothing wrong with it. Ask him what you should do about it. A smart supervisor would drop the charge then. If he says otherwise, just shrug and say you'll have to take it to court, tick the box and hang up.

Six months training its actually seven months training in academy land now and they only do two weeks of the traffic act. So let me tell you they are no experts.

Just because there cops does not mean they are right in having the final say that is why we have the courts let them determine the outcome.

Where does everyone get 6 months from, its a 18month course until you become a "cadet officer" then a further 6 months till your a full blown copper...

But yeah their not the judge, some might act like they are. Just cop is sweet and if you get a fine you think is wrong just take it to court and see what a real judge has to say...

i nearly got an emissions fine for the air con drip line...WTF, this was not a randon "pull over open the bonnet" thing it was a "side of the road set up inspection stop" thing, about 8x officers checking every 2nd car, i can just amagin the amount of $$ they made that day with people not car minded...

theres not much you can do at the time when they really want to fine you...

i was talking to a cop one arvo and he was saying there are revenue fines and that at the time (end of the month) try to lay low as fines have to add up. :)

Light Vehicle Modifications booklet from QLD Transport

pretty clear exhaust systems don't need a mod plate.

but if you're not sure you're under the required noise level, you can't really complain about the fine. get it tested and go from there.

Yer i wouldve understanded if i got defected for it being to loud but i didnt (no decibel test or anything) and i have read that book and legal action is more than likely taking place!

WHAT, i think you are missed informed there. It is 7 months at the academy then you are sworn officer with all police powers even to defect loud exhausts.

Then for the first 12 months of your servive you are on a consatble developement program which is probation thats it.

Yes it takes around 18 months with shit pay, but that is only to finish your diploma in policing and community safety.

Maybe if ur lucky you do get fully BLOWN in six months when you are working the Valley.

If its a plub back BOV yes (as you are simplly replacing a stock unit)

If its atmos vented then no (as your modifing the intake with non-standard device)

hijack.

then in this case,(i have 0 knowledge on BOV's) my twin ssqv's will screw me over and should be removed asap lol.

Whats best plum back?

else, i'll go stock again.

I had a ssqv, i was not worried cause they would have had a hard time finding it...

Plus technically if you put a small filter over the output then its filtered and hence you could argue legality...

If I were to get a fine id say "WOW my filter fell off it, jesus ill get that fixed today" :cheers:

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
