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...

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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
