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...

  • 3 weeks later...
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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
