Hey guys I sold my car to a mate with and outstanding canary and epa on it (illegal I know) anyhow today he got the car re-registered without claering the EPA notice, eventhough I've had a few on the car before.. At VicRoads we were told because the car came with a current RWC all defects on teh car had been cleared including EPA notices.. I've never heard of this before but it seems since VIcroads are allowing it.. Cancelling rego's and getting an RWC for the car could prove a cheaper option than getting an EPA especially if you have a lot of work one.

Has anyone else heard of or seen this happen??

Its usually flagged on the system

I had my chassis # flagged for my EPA...

You must have just had a lucky day is all that comes down too

Certainly doesn't happen often, and that loop hole (as you could do it legally a while ago) was closed.

Whoever you had must have been new, or the EPA wasn't clearly entered in the first place, the fine is substantial so if they check records later and come back to you... you might be in quite a spot of bother

Yeah was nice.. I went down with him to register it though and told them it had an outstanding EPA the chic said it usually means the car can't be registered however she went and spoke to someone senior and he said aslong as it passed a RWC the car was fine to be registered as all defects would be cleared..so it's not like it was a newbie or something..

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
