The confirmed list is the first page of this thread.

Having 2 threads was too confusing for some people.

But to have everything together. :D

Yes correct.

You will not pass scruitineering with a screamer or side pipes

What if your screamer pipe has a muffler on it?? It is the same setup I had Wakefield...and i dont think anybody noticed it...I have also had it on a dyno and you can hear it but only very slightly...Guilt-toy can verify this...

Paul,

Unfortuantly one of the residents has sound testing equipment and watches us while we are out there.

As soon as it goes 1db over the allowed limit he called EPA.

Yep understand...You'd better take me off the list then...haven't paid yet anyway...My car is not that loud, and I am sure there are many cars louder with plumbed back wgs, but I dont want to risk causing a drama..

Just curious how far the guy is away when he is measuring the sound level...if he is more than say 100m away, wind speed and direction can influence what he measures by +/- 1 or 2dB anyway...Btw a carton of Crownies has often been know to reduce how far noise carries too...

Probably not in this case. It's a long term - not just about us. If the screamer is muffled then it's not a screamer, it's a separate wastegate pipe. I'll leave the judgement of it up to you as only you really know how loud it is. Basically illegally loud cars can't come. I think 2-3 dB might pass ok but not 5-10.

I might be wrong but I think one of the reasons this particular person keeps on reporting people to the epa is that their family had a road death some time back. Not sure if this is true, just what I heard.

I take it this is open to other car clubs now?

P.S Enter and pay up people Texi is Hella Fun :D:)

how about we give him free tickets to i dunno,,,, the movies or something without him knowing it was us, someone puts it in his letter box a week ahead and make the tickets only available for use on the 14th of sept.....

also is there something we can do for the day to get race preped cars on the track????? when i have a party at my place the music gets to heaps loud,,,, my cars sound sytem has been measured at over 100db from 5 meters away and stuff like that.... all i do is call the cops up first and tell them im doing this on such a day and they'll say something like "its allowed aslong as its between 7am and 9pm, or till 12am depends if its a weekday or a weekend" why cant we do this for sutton? or do you think they will wait out the front and defect everyone if we let them know????

my car should be fine with noise, just got 3.5 cat back and pod filter and should have some dump/front pipes by time texi comes, but its ashamed that some people are having to miss out.

That is a big camera, is it even legal? Pretty sure i saw i guy on CNN shoot a small plane down with one of those

If it was a 600 or 800mm prime then it would be illegal. :D

We often call them 'Voyeur lenses' :D

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
