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.

im from montrose and latly, since yarra tmu moved to lilydale police station there have been so many booze/drug busses with vic roads attached. stealth mode ppl lets keep up the reports of where these vic roads traps are! p.s not in anyway supporting drink driving if u do that you deserve to get caught.

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

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
