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

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
