Yeah my mufflers were custom made speicifcally for my car... They were not off-shelf items as far as i am aware.

It is 91dB, sometimes 92. Seems to depend on the meter and the mood of the car at the time.

Joys of having a HR31 i guess - Everything is custom :D

Yeah I rang racepace when I was looking for a custom 3.5inch exhuast and they said around from 3500 but when I asked about what mufflers and if they could just stick them in my current exhuast they said its all custom and they only work by building it from scratch the whole system.

adr 28 and adr 37 are the ones you should be looking at , from 90 to 94 model jap cars. the im240 test which does your nox and noise levels. are free in nsw . the rb25det for 90-94 models the noise must not exceed 92db . each car is stuck on a dyno and tested up to 4800 rpm. keeping in mind it has to be under 92db . including the load when coming back down from 4800. the decibel reader is a type 1. which must be calibrated every 3 months by a outsourced company (the same ones that will be doing the speed cameras mobile and fixed)

Aftermarket computers arnt illegal . they must be engineered the only ones that are illegal are the ones that have turn dials on them

pod filters arnt illegal but must be contained in a closure and engineered. its to prevent back fire coming through the pod.

emissions equipment for that motor must be all plugged up. volume adjust mufflers are illegal. but a nice resonator should be able to reduce noise

all information provided was given to me . by one of the men that help put together the adr for nsw . who currently works for the epa as a head engineer

I'm getting Advan performance to build be a custom sealed pod box. Who would then need to engineer it? Would it need to be engineered or would it be fine as it will be well sealed.

yes it must be engineered. i cannot stress anymore .than dont go to the pits at roseville. there by the book and it will Fcuk you over and ask for more. when the items are engineered . majority of cases blue slippers turn there head

This is correct, mufflers are custom made in house. There is an option of single outlet or dual outlet (stock looking) for the rear muffler. In my opinion one of the best exhausts for modified cars that prefer to sound as quiet as possible. I have a one off twin 3'' full exhaust with dual tips. Looks standardish from the rear, only thing giving it away is that it's stainless. I had contemplated painting it black, but just couldn't bring myself to doing it. It's slightly louder than the common 3.5'' single, but it does flow really well. Looking at it when on the hoist just amazes me every time....

yea dont think a resignator increases power buddy . . .

Resignator? I'll take it you mean resonator.

An aftermarket exhaust is illegal not so much due to increasing flow/power but more importantly increases emissions and noise. That is more important to the governing bodies as it is harming the environment, moreso than the standard exhaust in which has undergone vigorous testing, suposedly anyway....

Had my noise test last month at the Noble Park brake and clutch, my stockie only put out around 86 dB at 5100 rpm, while I was there I saw an old guy with stock Porch Carera S got done for exaust noise as well, and he gave me a look...... like cos of you people driving skyline with muffler that's why I got done as well, lol...

yes u are just not engine mods and an exhaust isnt an engine mod

In Victoria, it most certainly is and can be counted as a power increasing modification.

It says any modification that can increase the cars power output - and this is what a "sports exhaust", and changing exhaust components can easily be attributed too.

Just have a look @ all the marketing of "sports exhausts" around the place, you will not win that argument in a court.

I've heard Sabbadin automotive also do custom exhausts, not sure if they are as quiet as the Racepace ones.

I do plan to try one at some point...

Just real rude and arrogant.. real SHIT bloke haha

ps he's in tullamarine melbourne so if u reAd this don't go there

i agree 100%, i have never met somebody as rude as him before. no matter how nice i tried to be this guy was a douche and i have told sooo many people to think about trying another place for your epa test. plus there is more but im not going into details here.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
