And I wish I'd seen this.

I was one of the unlucky ones, Skyline EPA'ed for exhaust noise.

They were outside Ringwood Mazda and pulling all the cars into the carpark. Booze bus, drug bus and EPA station.

Sorry to hear that Juliette! :yes:

As am I. Not happy about being tested near a wall. The letter is in the mail and I've gotta think about how to quieten it down a little. At least I wasn't fined I guess.

Yer that sounds like a load of BS because it say that you must be tested in a clear open environment and the machine must be stable 1m away from the car.....

On the positive side (for U) i had a made get an 600 dollar fine for that and then as he was about to drive out got pulled into the TMU RWC bay lol slapped a major with another 400 for an un roady vechile.

Conclusion: Expensive night out :yes:

Ouch. The EPA guy was reasonable about it, said he wasn't going to fine me because my car was otherwise stock mechanically and I had told him that straight up. I suppose having a pleasent attitude towards him helped. While I was going through the formalities the police from the booze bus came over and offered me chocolate (lol)

I'm not disputing my car might be a little bit over (as I mentioned only 1dB over on acceleration in a questionable test environment) but I didn't think it was that much louder on acceleration - they showed me 96dB, but I think that may have had something to do with the sound bouncing off the wall. I've got a while to fix it (I think 28 days from when I receive the letter)? Either way it's over, but not by much. I haven't had any trouble in the last 2-odd years of owning the car.

No doubt your lack of round tail lights helped you out :-p

lol but the freaking sound this thing makes is ye...not one a standered magna would make lol

and ye that sucks Juliette. what did it read? and sorry to say this but if it was over the limit when they tested you then you will get a fine in the mail along with a notice to get your car checked and tested again. this is what i went through a while back. got tested at 96db and 1 week later a fine in the mail and notice to get it tested again once returned to stock.

So they are giving out fines with DB tests now? the only epa for noise i've had were those "an officer doesnt like your car and couldn't dick you for anything at the time so here is your epa in the mail" and they never have fines attached

When I'm on Night shift I set up Road Blocks at a certain place on THU/FRI/SAT Nights for RBT site and EVERY time get a drink driver within the first 5 cars. It's all about when and where you set up. It's also scary that 1 in 5 cars over limit at that location around 4 am

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
