^^LOl i knew the regulation where tough but that is pretty rediculous. Its a stock car lol that would mean that everything with an exhaust is an epa?

When my mate got done a while back, the bloke told him to take the pod off and it reduced it by a few DB (on back off pressure)

I have the fujitsubo legalis r on my R33 GTST and it was 90 dB when tested

Some how i carnt see how EVERY after market exhaust can be illegal because that means you can only ever fit stock parts and if that car goes out of production like our Skylines then parts stop being made and become harder to source and pattern parts start to become more avab and at the fraction of the cost. (sometimes)

This of course happens before hand as well but you get the picture.

We have a company called aj auto parts that basically sells pattern parts im sure you have something close

There not stock parts so would they be illegal????

Its doubtful that if its aftermarket exhust it will pass the stock r33 cat back is pretty borderline to legal ranging form like 86-90 and thats real quiet so doubtful any aftermarket would pass , can come close though

You mean a 15 year old mufflers that have probably fallen apart? :D

Also remember there is so MUCH restriction that it's blowing so hard it can trip off the meter as well.

Things like opening up the plug gap, good ignition spark and so on can all have noticeable effects as the dB meter things get set off by a misfire and so on.

there is no such thing as a legal aftermarket exhaust.

Erm... what? :woot:

You can get aftermarket exhausts - legal. Fact!

hokay

i go punch daalder exhaust in the head now lol

from the info they gave me, with restrictions being so tight any exhaust modifications they do can easily trip the 90db reading.

Who said they were lying?

Perhaps they just don't have the skills/ingenuity to make a high flowing quiet exhaust

Oh, if you are (vaguely) interested, the Legalis on my M35 rates at 88dB

ive just got my r34 gtt on p plates.. its got pod.. stock smic hks gt-rs turbo stock dump and full kakimotor exhust... guesing thats illigal? i drive like a grandmother ;)

main illegal part is that your on your p's in a turbo car. if the pod filter is boxed than its fine.

nah not worried about the turbo part.. ive got a exemption for some days of the week and a managers letter for the rest of the week... the main thing im worried is defects... i thot a pod without a box is fine with stock cooler... in melbourne tho

giggity giggity alright...found an exhaust place i like close enough to home to walk back, and they're the vic roads suggested one too for testing and stuff - waverley brake and exhaust blackburn road crn ferntree gully road.

Got a db test done on Friday, it was 94 :-( The guy said he expected much worse but it wont be a hassle to get fixed, i've booked it in during the week to have two new mufflers installed to replace my existing ones, and he'll weld the two cannons i have back on to look schmick.

no room to tuck the exhaust, so i'll have to raise the suspension by a cm or less on each shoe, which hopefully wont make it look like a 4x4, cause seriously the 10cm wheel tool is only just scraping that one section by a fraction.

Here's a pic of my exhaust years ago when i first got it, the twins are excellent never looked back so happy. From the 6 times i was pulled over last year they never checked the height, but after next week's appointments i'm going to be feeling way more confident now with all the crack downs etc. can't wait for the weekend's members event :P

lol to 6 times, where is this weekend cruise event?

Hey how long did it take to complete the test and how much? I want to swing past there also in that case

It's a paid up members only cruise, there's another post on here somewhere about it, but once you're signed up you get into the members forum section...

As for the test, i called the day before and he said drop in at 10am. He came out by around 5 past with his kit, set it up, turned me on, revved it a few times to 4200, then called me over to show me what it was doing. Only cost $37 and I could have left 5 minutes later, but decided to wait until a hoist was free so we could get under and see what could be done to make it legal.

Did you check with the authorities whether that managers letter holds any real value? Only thing I'd trust is the exemption.

I believe the rule is one intake modification so as long as you have stock cooler should be alright.

plus i dunno how strong would the argument be that you need a skyline for work purposes lol can't see how it is a very practical "work" car lol

Just stay away from the knox area and you most likely should be fine. skyline exceed the 1.5 ratio- kw per tone anyways so they are technically illegal any way u look at it

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
