^^ lol true that ...

stock is the best bet for passing emissions ... plus using the cat that cam with your car originally will help a great deal.

when an import is complied they usually put one crazy restrictive cat in to help with noise and emissions

was pulled ova last night.

saw the coppa go past me, and chuck a u-turn at a set of traffic lights. u-turn was NOT permitted (illegal)...but it was a coppa so what can i say.

"excuse me sir this is a random breath test and rego check, licence pleasse"

then again, i was running the gauntlent at 330am in the morning :S

Test should only be noise, try asking a compliance workshop thats been around for a while (eg. 60kph constant speed past sensor 3 meters away). Mid muffler is a good idea.

Pollution only goes as far as to check for a cat converter. An enclosed pod is absolutely fine for sure, though you could present evidence that the car was complied with the pod the way it is, chat with the people that complied the car originally if you can. Depending on the import/manufacture/compliance date it may have different compliance rules regarding pod filters. A cold air induction box with a coupple of pipes bringing air to the box will improve efficiency and is therefore a good idea though.

The cops don't know what mods are legal because different laws apply to different Australian manufacture/compliance dates on the same model car with the same production date in Japan.

Apparently you get a fine and then you get it cleared, not sure if you still have to pay the fine if it was complying in the first place?

Let us know how this goes, do they charge to do the testing, when I asked workshop they told me it costs about $3,500 to get the testing done and compliance certificate for mods?

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
