sports bikes are the skylines of the motorbike community as far as being pulled over goes. only cos they aren't packin, unlike many harley riders

so i dare say they will be copping it just as bad

hmmm i might go get my exhaust tested so i know where i stand... its got a nice note, not "excessively loud" but far from quiet

its a 3.5" fujitsubo exhaust

i spose if there is no testing equiptment, it comes down to police discretion

my Kakimoto is a 3.5 inch with 2 Jasma mufflers, it's loud enough for now. Dunno if it would pass or not but meh, couldn't really care, been pulled over 2 times in the GTR and one of those was a boozer and not once have they said anything or even popped the hood.

V6 Falcon? I dont think there is V6 Falcon just yet

lol

and guys dont take this as an attack towards imports or our beloved skylines. its any noisy car they see. be it a ford,. holden or your grandmas corolla. if its loud you will get done.

Can some one please clarify 100% what happens if you get done:

-epa notice on suspicion, no fine

-on the spot test, subsequenct epa notice

-on the spot test, fine for 1st offence

-on the spot test, fine for 2nd offence

My car has passed 2 roadworthies with the current exhaust, it's not overly loud but it isn't exactly quiet. I've never been epa'd despite being defected on two seperate occasions.

I would be quite upset if they hand out $580 fines for a car which to my knowledge is legal and first time offence.

classic cars that sound like full blown drag cars will be waved through i bet.

if your under 55 your f**ked.

Hmmm... media accompaniment eh?

What if a group of people get mobilised to show flashcards of Skylines/EVOs/Rexs/'Stangs/Chevvies to the general public - and invite the media along for that? The purpose is to ask the general masses if they'd prefer the police minister/government to cut out noisy cars (of enthusiasts) or to spend more time/manpower on drug crime & alcohol related violence???

I'm over 55 and I know how I'd vote if you approached me in Swanston/Collins/Flinders St. Yes, invite the media to come along.

You shouldn't be surpised at the result. The above strategy is more constructive than just meeting at KKs and have a whinge.

I'm down here having a break at the moment,it really is handy being a lil ol lady sometimes,they never notice me. :blink:

That means you're NOT f**ked !!!

(you virginous maiden you)

lol

thos will all have the same outcome 1st or 10th offence if your exhaust is over when they test it on the side of the road or whatever you will get fined, if you get a letter in the mail to go get it tested at your local exhaust place or whatever you wont get a fine, you'll get an oppertunity to fix it same as if you get summond for a test then you can fix it before hand and not get done

someone might correct me here but your roadworthy hasnt got anything to do with how loud your exhaust is its a seperate jurisdiction so that wont help you much.

could be wrong though

Yeah your right roady doesnt really care how loud it is as long as it has a exhust it only if its a real picky faget where hell go im not passing off on a aftermarket exhust

is their any way of making the exhaust a bit quieter without those ugly silencers ???

option 1 - Put a stocky on

option 2 - Steel wool! (dodgy, plus sparky ember things will fly out your hole on WOT...heheheh hole)

option 3 - get a custom legal exhaust made up

option 4 - i can't think of anymore options

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
