Heya I recently got pulled over and the cop took pictures of my fornt mount and pod and just received a letter form epa saying I gotta take the car in to get it checked. The million dollar question is he mentioned nothing about the exhaust as I turned the car off, so should I put the stock exhaust back on before taking to epa or wish for the best? Has anyone come across this situation before? If I decide to take the car as it is, just fit the stock air box of course, what are the fines? Thanks for your help.

are you in VIC? cause i know the rules in Vic are either pod or intercooler.. so thats why he may have took pictures?

as to the EPA.. i don't see why you shouldnt be able to change the car as much as you like back to stock to pass it.. although i've never had to go to epa.. so others can confirm

EPA = full test.

Pictures is a bad thing, get busted again with those mods and then the trouble really starts.

Time to get legal and put the airbox on, no need for pods anyhow.

If you take the car there with a over 90db exhaust, you will fail and have 7 days i think to fix it or your rego is permanently suspended until its fixed. Car cannot be sold or driven

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
