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.

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

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.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
