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?

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
