Someone else will see how much money kostecki's is making and want there slice of the pie, giving them more competition.

Also our cars should pass fine, with a working cat and a good tune,

If a VE commodore twin turbo can pass the tests I'm sure we can.

Yeh I think most people are getting ahead of themselves.

We've not bin given canaries yet, so don't stress too much, just lay low for a while, till the price comes down.

Maybe try some sleeper mods? i.e. black painted intercooler, pre-diff dump and a fake rear muffler and tip, and for f**ks sake drive safely.

As with most jap cars. My x-trail included, We've got the latest emissions technology, (for our respective vintage of car) like evap canisters, decent PCV systems, lowish volume recirculated BOVs etc...

Just if you do get whacked with an IM240 order, spend a bit of coin to make sure yr car passes first time (ADR euro-3 spec cat, stoich AFRs, new spark plugs, clean injectors, and check your compression, valve seals and turbo oil seals - to name a few), and be nice to the boys in blue you might just avoid it altogether...

Good luck fellas.

Its one of the new requirements to pass pits.

You could be yellow'd for something like no H pattern on your shifter, and have to present an emmisions test when they go over all the other standard shit like seatbelts and child restraints.

Someone did mention this would be on a compliance basis only, and not actually at the pits every time?

No, a copper cannot decide on the street that a car doesnt pass emmisions, if it was registered before these laws kicked in, too bad for them, if it was registered after, then the driver will have a certificate that cops cant argue with.

Well, apparently that's how it'll work. Apparently hoon laws save dozens of lives every day too.

Getting the turbo permitted without an emissions report, if the suspension hasn't been modified so it's no longer adjustable it shouldn't be permitted (technically not even meant to pass the pits) & having an exhaust listed at all let alone without a dB reading (even though mine is one of the quietest on an import I have ever heard I still had to get that done)

ive been told that you only need an emissions test only if the cops think you need one( ie. they see black smoke coming out of your exhaust or black stains on the rear bumper for light coloured cars, not idling properly at the lights). if you didnt get asked to do it but got stickered for something else and you go over the pits, they wont do the test.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.
