Yes, but to be registered, the car also has to meet all emissions and other standards.  

A roadworthy certificate is only valid for 14 days.

And when I got my roadworthy done, there was no "DB reading" on the checklist of things required for the certificate.

I read the whole EPA Emmissions Regulation and it says:

The car's noise level must not be more than 90 dB

The test must be done by putting a microphone half a metre behind the exhaust, at the same height as the exhaust or 20cm, which ever is greater. The mic must be angled up at 45degrees to the exhaust flow.

The test is done at 3/4 of the RPM where max power is made, if that number is known by the "Authority" Or else at 3200RPM.

3 tests must be done, they must not differ by more than 1dB, and then the average is taken. It is then rounded down to nearest whole number. eg Test 1 90.9 test 2 90.3 test 3 90.5 ave=90.57

Therefore level is 90dB and OK

If this is not is exactly done at an EPA noise test, I would be complaining.

And you would win, coz thats what the law says. :shake:

Hope that clears things up,

Rhett

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
