It only takes an EPA officer, ambulance, MBF/CFA firefighter, or police officer to dob you in for noise, then you'll get a demand in the mail for EPA noise test.

A general member of public will need to report you multiple times before EPA will look into it. E.g. you always revved past a neighbours house that's just got fed up with your exhaust noise everyday.

Bad luck. If yours don't go over 90db limit, then a test with certificate will cost around $30 from an approved exhaust tester (the list is on EPA website). Just fax it all back to EPA or mail it back, then it'll all be fine. If you're over 90db, well then you gotta need it fixed first.

im guessing they could hear 25+ skylines, coming down the road... an they grabed as many number plates as they could... loudest, quitest they cant tell when we are bunched together

look at it this way, IT COULD HAVE BEEN ALOT WORSE.... FOR ALL OF US!!!!

next time gents clutch in

shit how bad. How did they manage to catch the registration plates of the cars?

We were all bunched up together as we drove past the boozebus which was set up on the other side of the road...

Unless the unmarked interceptor on our side of the road recorded us driving past?

sucks badly..

DAMNIT i'm out of town I wont be back till FEB!

Is it possible to sue or file a complaint? With that amount of skylines there is no feasible way that they could differentiate one exhaust from the other and issuing mass notices feels like....SPAM! ("I have 50 emails here sir but I don't know if they are all active" "Screw it send it to all of them we gotta get at least one hit")....Is it me or to they seem to work on the same policies?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
