Epa Notice On The Night Of Beach To Burger Cruise


Recommended Posts

They don't need to KNOW that it's over 90db, they need to suspect that it is. Guilty until proven innocent is how it works in Australia with this stuff...

And the cost of proving yourself innocent rests solely on you.

Same i don't have 1 either ..... If i get 1 im going to skitz i went to so much trouble to get a N1 exhaust so i don't have cop trouble!!!!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed .

I've never had an EPA notice for exhaust noise, but my GT-R is fairly quiet (even with the 3" exhaust).

Can you just pop along to a testing place and get a test done without the EPA, I'd prefer to get it tested and know it's leagal when it suits me, not when I have to prove soemthing to the EPA....

I cant believe it, I have one but not from this cruise.

How did they get all the plate numbers down while everyone was driving past???? did they get a video camera out and pause it everytime a skyline went by.

Why dont cops just go n shoot some 15 year olds and make up some stupid story to justify themselves.

what a load of rubbish... 90% of the bikes that hammer past my place would be WELL over 90db... should be the same set of rules for everyone... I understand it helps them be seen etc but most of them are stupidly loud... I can hardly hear the imports in comparison, even those with fully hektic exhausts :(

adam in the rolla might of got one also

im all sweet atm, but i had twin mufflers on at the time so pretty sure it should be sweet .

so what do they want you do to ? get a DB test ?

lol nice hello kittty

they might of thought i just got stuck in the line up, bloody stupid wagon in the way of that rolla's number plate

Was my car really that bad? :) Only my valve stem seals which are gone anyway, easily fixed.

And I haven't received anything so far.

Edited by adam-__-

my bile has a plate fixed to it's stock exhaust that says it is less than 96db @ 7500 rpm... the redline is 18,500 rpm and i would be guessing it would be well and truly over 100db at that..

nick, bikes have a higher limit - think it's 9Xdb or something.

ah okay fair enough... still, some of them are just ridiculous, even the loudest import doesn't compare... some of the big old school V8's are MUCH louder as well, I don't think turbos are that bad... after all they have a dirty big turbine in the exhaust

ex gates are another story tho :)

Looking at my notice...

Passenger Vehicle (Other than a bus)

After 1 Nov 1983 90dB(A)

Motorcycle or tricycle

After 1 March 1985 94dB(A)

Gday all, your cruise happened to be on the same night as a regular motorbike cruise that occurs in Melbourne every Thursday night . Sort of a fast and furious get together except its for motorcyclists.

Motorbike riders gather at the BP servo in Marine Pde Elwood at 7.30pm, there are up to 100 motorbikes that gather for the weekly ride. Many bikes are heavily modified, especially their pipes, unregistered, unroadworthy and some riders are unlicensed, this ride is monitored by the cops including cops who mingle in the group as normal random riders in plain gear on unmarked bikes. The cops also follow in marked, unmarked cars keeping on eye on the groups behaviour.

The cops would have been there only for the motorcyclists, hence cameras set up etc when you all rolled by. It was just bad luck for you guys, they may not have pinged any motorcyclists but thought we can get these dudes to justify the costs of us being here.

I wprked with a guy in the city Sat Night that gave out 13 EPA notices and I am positive not one would fail the test. He just EPA every car that was louder than stock. What a joke if you ask me.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
