Any who i got pulled over by the local cop tonight after finshing work and was told my exhuast was to loud because it was not stock and that i have 7 days to make it quiter. All i have is a 3inch turbo back with a 3inch high flow cat to a cannon with a 4.5inch dump tip is their a way to tell if my exhuast is actually to loud.

where are you located mate? in vic we have EPA testing centres, usually exhaust shops with a lisence. they do a DB reading on your exhaust tip at around 4000 rpm then fill out report sheet and forward on to EPA

you get on you knees behind the car with your ear sealed over the end of your exhaust and get your m8 to rev it to limiter. then the doctor can calculate the exhaust noise level by substitution the damage factor of your ear into a simple mathematical equation.

hahaha excuse me amusing my self

take it in and get a dB test m8. wont cost u much.

Hey mate sound like you got the done over to what I've heard I think the max Db level is 94Db @ 4000-4500

But if you just what to do a quick fix get some chicken wire and jam it down the exhaust that will drop the noise down a shit load

It's not a full time fix but something to get you passed the epa :blush:

The thing that shits me off the most is i dont think it is anywhere near 94db and the amount of shit heap feral utes that run around that are far louder than mine. So im of to toowomba on wednesday to get it tested so i dont have to take it back to stock and maybe i should stop driving past his house at night after visting the gf

seriously mate - a 3" turbo back exhaust with high flow cat and those crappy cannon mufflers will be very loud. Get it checked independantly if you like but it is very unlikely to be legal. Just because lots of people do it doesn't mean its legal.

Easiest thing to do is put a standard exhaust on it for the test. Or permanently if you are worried about being caught again

i'd still say it'd be under 90db.. a 2ltr 6 with a 3" exhaust isn't gonna be making that much noise. once you have your exhaust reading, keep the report in your car in case you get pulled over again. Just remember, the way you act will more than likely determine the outcome in an encounter with the police.. many (though not all) police officers are reasonable people. My old car had a similar exhaust setup and was well under 90db, so fingers crossed you wont have a problem. gl !

correct me if i'm wrong, but the last time i was reading the noise rules, the rule was 90db @ half of the vehicles redline.. in a 33 that should be 3500... but that was for qld.. not sure if its different down in vic.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
