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.

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?

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:

      Pipe from Greddy FMIC to Greddy intake manifold (RB25)?

      Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold?

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
