Hi Everyone,

I recently got a letter in the mail from the EPA, for a full emissions control test. I have a GTR 33 fully built, basically everything modified. I know its going to fail, but does anyone have any advice / ideas on what I could do to help it pass? I was thinking of just changing engines and returning everything to stock. Thanks

is it emissions as in db emissions (sound level)?

or emissions as in (pollution)

because even if you throw a standard motor in it and the test is for pollution emissions. that wont pass either, the motors are just to aged and wont pass no matter what

if its for sound your ok you'll get it sorted easily.

otherwise cancell your rego and sell the car to your brother or mum or someone then get them to sell it back to you and your car MAY then be defect free? I did that 2years ago and got away with it. laws may differ now

Or last alternative, never fails is take down a wallet full of green coloured notes. that will change any assessors mind.

Doesn't work anymore... loop hole closed...

There's a guy on here with a fully modded 33gtst that past emissions, power fc tuned buy himself... he should be able to give you some advice...

Im assuming thread started is in Vic (sounds like it by his post)

And if thats right, then Guilt's car has no relevance here because NSW & Vic Testing/Requirements and so on are at totally different ends of the football field when it comes to these things. There is no parity between states

I recently went through this fiasco, And you If you are getting a full test done, you WILL NOT pass with any mods, except. you are allowed 1 Intake mod, i.e Air filter or either Inter cooler only one of the two. An Aftermarket Exhaust is allowed only if you think It will pass Emissions and Noise test. And you are allowed Turbo Timers too. Anything Else = FAIL

fail fail fail fail fail, no chance in hell of passing the emissions test, stock or not stock, youll never get to the level needed.

their might be a chance of passing, it might be your only way as i know somone that has done it,

PM me and ill let you know what it is, but have to keep it on a need to know basis, to many people knowing will close the loop hole.

*sigh*

Did you pass in Vic? No.

Gazzilla is spot on the money. The cost alone to pass in Vic is ridiculous. Its a FULL lab test (and not just one test). Its the test all new cars go through before ADR approval.

Not some gas sniffer on a dyno etc etc.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
