Don't worry too much about engine internals. The cops wont start pulling your engine apart. Emissions testing concentrates on the tune of the car. eg. stock ecu, camshafts and fuel system.

If your going to mod the exhaust, get it to flow but still be quiet. Think about the neighbors when you leave for work in the morning. Their the ones who will dob you in for being a hoon.

i guess its just best to get a emissions test but that costs a fortune, geez stadard injectors only flow to about 14psi and the coils are shit hehe i guess they have made the laws in this way so u can do one thing but cannt do the other so its best not doing anything hehehe

Check the EPA/Roadworthy thread. On the last page I put up a link to the modified vehicle guidelines from the EPA. Then have a look on the vic roads website for all the info you need.

Are we allowed to have a larger turbo i didnt see anything on that? also what about aftermarket coils?

Also u can put a rb26 engine in a gts-t Look at section d and e under engines

Yep sure i been asking a cousins friend he also has a r33 gts-t with an rb26 in it and he passed a full epa check he told them straight out and made it to the same spec as an gtr.

He put 3 cats in it from where the exhaust starts, resonators and oval muffler he said he easily passed in the test. He had the gtr injector which are 444cc only thing he added was FMIC and kept the box air meter but modded it abit and got an engineers cert onit and engine then some how got the engine number to display on the rego etc any ideas?

      Thanks for posting, your engine bay looks tops. I'm fairly sure you posted the wrong video though, I think you were supposed to upload the one from your "private test road" where it's banging off the limiter with the gate open?

      Stagea obd II low voltage

      By MBS206 · Posted

      This is something to be careful of. I did a bit of digging on the NM35, as I spend a lot of time on near brand new cars and CANBus related stuff, which uses the same "OBD2" plug for a fair chunk of making my life easy. The NM35, does NOT support OBD2. The data pin is actually on Pin3, which is a manufacturer specific pin, and requires Consult3 to connect to the NM35. Your low voltage, is either because the NM35 doesn't have 12V to the constant power pin on the J1962 (OBD2) connector, OR, it is attempting the standard comms, (CanBus, K Line, etc) and can't see any voltage on those pins. Some people have had success accessing SOME data from the vehicle on OBD2 specification, using a module that supports KPW. My assumption, like Duncan has stated, it will likely actually be JOBD, where there is some cross over with the OBD2 and JOBD standards. Note, lots of "OBD2" dongles, do NOT support KPW, which is what you need for a lot of Japanese vehicles of this era (And even up until recent years!), EG, Subaru, Suzuki, etc.    The end of this thread is probably worth a read, as some people did find a way to get a display up in the NM35 recently, looks like someone implemented all the stuff needed to make it work. (The right protocols).

      Depending on the purpose of the car, and how much more fabbing you want to do, and what clearances you have, you could look to raise the motor, which will raise the front diff up. Likely would mean altering the chassis rails etc etc, hence the more fab work you'd need to do. However, this can create issues, not just in clearance with everything fitting under the bonnet, but you've also raised a LOT of weight up in the car, and this will DEFINITELY alter handling characteristics (But, so will how much weight you've already added to the front end). You'll also have to deal with the fact the gearbox to rear diff is now out of alignment too for the tail shaft, and alter the angle of the diff, or deal with a bit of potential vibration. Raising the motor an inch up, is effectively the same as making the whole car sit higher by not lowering it as far. So one inch higher motor, theoretically means you can drop the car an extra inch lower, and maintain the same angles in the CVs. Again, depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a just cruiser on the street car, maybe won't be an issue. If it's meant to be a time attack car, I can see you not wanting to raise the motor. This is just for you to ponder as an idea.

      Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...

      I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
