New Wa Emmissions Laws

[-Dukes-]

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.

I wonder if the cop cars who hand you this emission test will pass it themselves... Hrm...

[StealthX]

HAHAHAHAH great thought...

knowing the way most of them drive, i cant imagine the cars would be in emissions passing condition lol

[zerotohundred]

interesting news. with the new hoons laws and this.. whoz up for a group buy on toyota prius?

[Sneakyazn]

wow... major BFS

[Chi100188]

hmmm so the cops would have to specific tell u to go do the test when they give you a yellow right? so its not when you do get a yellow you have to do it automatically?

[Nic_A31]

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.

f**king lol

buy a lotto ticket mate!

Why ??

[ossie_21]

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)

[R33_NICK]

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.

[Ehgriez]

Ive never once seen an import that doesnt get that black soot on the back of their car.

What about an import with stock exhaust ??

[Ehgriez]

Whens the last time you saw one of those for that matter?
