Was constantly worrying about my car's exhaust getting EPA-ed since i am always moving in and out of the city pretty often, and truely recieved one just a couple of days ago. :D

I don't wanna keep worrying about getting EPA-ed nor do i have the time to waste going around to clear the EPA.

I am seeking help or recommendation for an aftermarket exhaust system which would pass EPA, and something that i can stick on my car for good. And preferably also a workshop that i can get it fixed. Am located in North Melb.

Am not really worried about performance, would like a nice tone that will clear EPA without having to swap out to the stockie. So any recommendations will be much appreciated :P

This has been covered MANY times. I had an R34GTT and ran a Fujitsubo Legalis system. It was great for power and passes EPA also - I know as I had it done. I was running 3" from the turbo back too and still passed :D

Looked nice enough too -

I'm sure there are local systems around though. Others will comment.

adzmax.

thanx i saw your recommendation on that in previous threads, but that was a couple of years ago.

am unsure if new systems are out :D

anyway thanks, have a few questions regarding that and will direct it into your mailbox.

Fujitsubo 3" turbo back is what I got n what most r34s come over here with from what I've seen. They r nce n mild and will pass EPA unless ur unlucky like me n get tested in an underground carpark lol but yeh definatly get that

Wow, I like your car, very clean and well styled. +1

Trust PE2, very quiet on idle and cruising (and thats 3" turbo back)

Very nice note when flooring it. Looks good as well.

.

would it still be quiet at 4800 rpm?

thats what rev we need to be at and measured for EPA

most people would recommend a pe2 for its quiet yet nice bark on load, but i would definetely recommend somehting bigger and less restrictive for a 300kw+ setup if thats wat ur looking for.

if you a size 8 shoe, you buy a 9 to let yourself grow into them. same rule applies for modified cars.......for me at least.

Hi Jap Muscle~

I don't have a 300kw+ setup, mine is stock :thumbsup: Not looking to readily modify the car as of yet, due to time restriction.

other than a 3" turbo back piping with a 5" cannon at the end. I failed the noise emission because when backing off the accelerator it echos off the 5". so right now, something nice and would meet legal requirements would be splendid for me :thumbsup:

anyway UPDATES for the thread,

have gave themufflerman a ring, and set a date to go down on wednesday... will be back to this thread for updates :blink:

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
