Okay I rang the EPA and my $75 is for a full emissions and noise toist, where as the $38 appearing on your EPA notices are for just a noise test.

Waiting for a phone call back regarding what I was reported for, however my reference number has a T on the end which apparently stands for "tamper", i.e. tampering with an emission control system, so they might have got me on having a pod filter?

Thats because a full emissions test is 74.90 and just a exhust test is 37.50

Sorry, didn't see this post.

With the number of people getting done on this "observe" crap it might be worth banding together for some class action / lobbying / threatening not to vote for a particular party at the next state election...

I am getting very annoyed whenever i think of the EPA thingy.

I feel the pain for those who had more modifications done on their cars, and had to undo more things to get it to pass through the various agencies.

It is really very frustrating when you are "observed" and not actually stopped for an offence. Very frustrating and very annoyed. I can post this a 100x and still feel annoyed :D I think many people here will feel the same abt this pipe down operation

I agree. The funny thing is, that as part of my job I am an authorised officer for the administration and enforcement of the Environment Protection Act 1970 lol.

exactly why you got done pod + fmic = emissions.

I'm in!

Even though I'm neither a permanent resident nor a citizen, well you just need the numbers right?! =D

Yeah quite probably...however...noise test too along with the works? It should just be a case of...remove pod...stock airbox...on your way, if that's what I got reported for.

Damn you xALmoN. You hold no political weight in this country :wub:

But we still love you :wub:

yeh i hear ya, but when its emissions its a full monty inspection because they dont just think pod + fmic they think computer, injectors and blah blah its bssssss.

if u just get noise test thats all it is noise.

you'll be right stock box and away u go

Spot on, it's a massive pain in the arse.

When my gf got pulled over by the po-po in my car and they checked under the bonnet, I got a letter stating that I had to book in to one of only two inspection workshops. One in Mordialloc (or similar, can't quite remember), or hoppers crossing. It really sucked because there was no workshop on the northern side of the city, and it took me around an hour to get there and an hour to get home.

When you pay the $75 odd bucks it is and the guy behind the counter is ticking your rego off in the 'big book' of defected cars, just note how many of them are Skylines or s13,s14 etc. Classic. It stings even worse when the test only takes about 10-15 minutes and you have to take the time off work and pay the costs. It's teh devil.

I don't even hold any political weight in my home country.

That aside, it seems like import drivers being discriminated against has become acceptable. Alone you can't do shit, but everyone is telling everyone else to "cop it on the chin", and everyone just keeps getting harassed because its easy to.

i hear the guy @ hoppers is super friendly too..

not

Actually, I found the guy pretty nice, maybe he scored a shag the night before my visit and was in a better mood than normal?

Yeah my notice is telling me I can go to Moorabin or Werribee...

Like I said before, I wonder what these workshops "pay" to get recommended as licenced testers. Surely they aren't the only ones who can do it...

Man sometimes its better knowing you had no say/choice in the "democratic" process of voting :P

Don't worry, I will one day form a collective...they f***ed with the wrong whinge :)

:P so you are the person who actually sends out the letter??? O.O!!! gosh :)(((

Certainly not, my good sir! I rarely get involved in EPA stuff with work, certainly not car related EPA offences anyway. Industrial and commercial noise maybe, but this sort of situation hardly ever comes up.

    • 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.
