Hi there,

Here in Canada, there's a big controversy about exhaust and police ticket. So I was wondering if you, in Australia, had a proof that the BNR32 came free-flow from the factory??

I can pay $$ someone for info. But I already have a pictures of a stock exhaust but I need to make it certified..

Anyways, if you don't have direct info do you know where I could ask for? where I could search

yes, tell us more information about what this "free flow" law of yours is...

in aust, Its the sound that annoys the cops & the public. and once they issue you with a ticket... they can check the Toxic emissions from the exhaust if the catalytic converter looks tampered. The GTR cat im pretty sure is a 3-way cat.. as in it reduces nitrogen oxides, reduces cabon monoxide & hydrocarbons.

Free flow exhausts are usually aftermarket without a restrictive pipe in the rear muffler.

High flow aftermarket cats are sometimes a defect here.

anyways, let us know what you think

My bad. I wasn't clear.

In my province, they don't ask for a toxic/emission test. So this it not an issue. The cop generally pull you over because you have a 3 inch tip or more, it's chromed, you have a tuned car, your young, you have a sexy girlfriend etc etc lol. :)

Once they pull you over, 90% of the times, they will just insert a stick in your exhaust and if it goes deeper than 30 inch, it's a proof that you are STRAIGHT PIPE ( And in their mind Straight Pipe=ILLEGAL). So I would like something certified so I keep it in my car and show to the cops that a BNR32 came straight pipe OEM.

Now, My exhaust is a RS*R ExMag GT2 ( which is the top dog of Rs*R) and found that there seems to be no catalyser under my GTR. Since a stock GTR came with a catalyser, I would still lost in court for having modified my exhaust and not keeping the OEM SPEC. But, my chances are the police officer won't know about the catalyser.

Law #94 say:

Changing the muffler or exhaust system that makes it noisier than the original OEM (1. cop don't have a Decibel meter with them and skyline didn't exist in Noth-america, so they can't give me that. But still, some assh*le do.. and now I have to prove that the OEM wasn't making more noise.)

Law #91 say:

Any repair or swap done to the exhaust,catalyser,pipe etc. can be done BUT has to maintain the same spec of the OEM.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
