Hi all, got booked for my first time EVER last night in the Hunter Valley by Highway Patrol and got defected for FMIC, Exhaust, POD Filter, and now I need to get a IM240 test done for emissions... problem is I dont want to get my car tested till its fixed and I dont know who can help???

Once its fixed I plan to get it all engineered but need it fixed by the 14th Jan. Most mechanics are closed for holidays at the moment.

Any ideas who can help me in Sydney???

(The pod filter is getting a box put around it in 3 days time so thats all good)

i went for a im240 not coz i got defected just 2 get eng cert and faild.

the rta guy said i need 2 put a new cat in it as high flow one is

1.old and worn out or

2. not holding gasses long inuf.

also maybe a tune up as a few people have said to me but havnt got ecu as yet.

so my advice would be put new cat in be for u go,and hope for the best or pm guiltoy he seems to always have a input he may even be able to tune your car if u have a after market ecu.

he also had im240 done couple months back and passed.

thanks mate

is there an easy way to clean the air sensor or is it a replacement job. Also I got my exhaust checked for noise and it read 95db which is a fail as it has to be under 90db. Any ideas on dropping the volume... ???

You want decent sized mufflers thrown on.

Mid muffler, at least a 5" body on it, with fibreglass packing.

Rear muffler at least a 7" body, you only want a 3" out let on it though. Fibreglass packing again. You also want them as long as possible, for both.

Don't let anyone tell you it won't fit. I have photos of mine all fitted up, and running, with ZERO ground clearance issues. And REALLY quiet, and high flowing. If you need help with getting the exhaust done, PM me.

And a good high flow cat.

wait a second did you get done by hwp or EPA? coz you dont need emissions test unless they ask for one and normally in a letter right?

so dont worry about all that until you get the defect cleared, you want it cleared you need to swap all the aftermarket parts out and then worry about the emissions test because youd wanna engineer it and so on.

Don't they normally send a letter if it needs to be tested? There's no option on the defect slip which says you need the test done! Unless it's changed in the last 6 months? Anyone other than 4teecal verify this please?

You are right. There is no option to tick on the defect notice to indicate an emissions test is required. It can be hand written in the "defect report" box and then tick the emissions box. If the test is not passed and the defect cleared then the AIS or AUVIS station may have a few things to explain to the RTA if they are audited.

The other option is to just forward the vehicle details to the DECC and they will send a notification to the registered owner.

Yeah it was HWP and they knew what an IM240 test was and I didnt so he tried using the term as often as possible to make me sound dumb. He clearly wrote it in the defect column so that I could choose to remove the FMIC or get the test done. I have just got a standard CAT converter installed today that can bolt in and out and have got a cover for the air pod being installed tomorrow. Im hoping it drops the dB by 3 or else its still to loud. Im hitting 92dB at the moment and need to be under 90. Sadly all my friends have WRX's etc. not a skyline.

But once the defect is removed im getting everything engineered, just sick of the b*llsh*t.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
