Na wouldnt work with the varex i put a standard exshaust back on when i passed my noise test , then just put the varex back on , The DECC Is very by the books , good thing is once you have passed keep the paperwork they give you with you at all times so theyeve got you on record , mabye hellp you out in the future ..

ahh i see

yeh i was gonna go back to them with a stock exhaust on and then come back and put back my varex

i would recommend the varex if u haven't already been defected...i think i got a few cops off my tail b4 when i pressed the button

but he didn't pick up it was a varex

i closed it and unplugged it and everything

went there and did test

and he did sound test

he said i passed

but it seems so unlikely that such a big tip only blows 86

then when he hoisted it up

he looked inside and said therse sumthin blocking it

i told him its permanent

and he said its not that easy, because sum1 can just unscrew it and its off kinda thing

but yeh

campelltown guys good guy

he told me i can take out my intercooler and i wont have to go epa

rather than saying...i have to go epa b4 giving me a chance

what year model is your car? cause im pretty sure the legal limit is actually 91db

guys my defect was cleared 3 months ago

what im saying is it got ticked to go to an AUVIS (i.e. blue slip) but i didnt go to the campbelltown place or the place in granville i went to a place in moorebank, and thats what my question was about when do you have to go to granville or campbelltown (when you get an epa defect?) not from the coppers?

but anyway the legal limmit is 90db but they permitt up to 95db (so that exhaust shops dont go broke etc)

that's stupid hmm so you just get a letter to go to the DECC but I don't understand why I didn't get this letter?? Does everyone or just a select few - or does it have to do with if the copper that smacks u a defect if he notifies the EPA ?

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
