about 2 blocks before flinders street.

nah not cleared yet

second epa, first was a headf*** but this one been noise is much easier.

im just enjoying the next few weeks of not having to drive quietly

i just had my exhaust done today, from a kakimoto to a tanabe :D

much quieter than the kakimoto, which was rated 93db, so yeah waiting for the appointment this friday to have it cleared :)

nah bro dont drink but no sweat man its sitting in my gfs garage since i bought the car a year ago.. just kept it figured ill need it one day when my number comes up to get done haha as long as you dont mind pickin it up from her place in hoppers cos i took it there with my mates car/trailor i dont have anyway to get it to point cook but can always meet at my place and follow me there.. just pm when you wana grab it most likely a friday for me its the only day i dont work..

hey man u can borrow mine if u want? its in hoppers crossing i seen your car around point cook if your name is your number plate black 33?

I may call on this if the testers tell me to change my exhaust too. Given you don't drink, gram of hash? lol.

Just got an EPA notice today as well.... perhaps we could do a group clearing EPA notice ! :(

Group clearing, more like class action. How'd they nail you? Did they test your exhaust or even pull you over? Or were you one of those "observed" people.

Last Sunday was cruising down M1 with a mate's Chaser jzx100.. On Monday he calls me and tells me he got an EPA exhaust notice in regards to the previous night's drive..

Been checking my mail everyday and have not got a notice, strange because I was on his tail the entire time..

Fingers crossed, what are the chances? It's been 5 working days, slow mail? Can't be that slow right.. Dodge bullet?

Tell him to check the offence date, no way it could be put in there system on Sunday And he gets it on Monday, would have to be from a day last week at the earliest.

lol as if birds.. no catch just cos i hang shit on most ppl dont mean i dont help out fellow 'enthusiasts'

yeh its usually 3 week lag for epa i've found.. maybe these blitz ones are quicker but not 24hours

Well I got pulled over by the cop at the start of a month. Received EPA at the start of the next month...so...hopefully you dodged it but don't count your chickens for some time yet.

Haha I'm joking...it's very much appreciated should I require it.

happpy i ddnt drive the skyline in those 2 weeks :P got pulled over last night "random check", selling the car so hopefully the dont write me up a epa..

If you do get an EPA you'll need to clear it before you can sign the vehicle transfer papers...and if it's already been sold when the EPA notice rocks up then you gotta write to them and tell them you no longer own the car.

The young female blondie officer was giving me and evil look at the king st and flinder intersection just after the bridge through crown casino. Saw her noted something down while my car was idling at the red light =\ didn't realise it was the pipe down thing. Then I drove off without knowing that I'm going to have to spend $38

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
