I thought there were two places, Kostecki's and Orbital...maybe not.

The idea of places that magically pass seemingly non compliant vehicles happens in the import community too...I'm sure.

Anywho I'm glad it's over...foolishness averted.

I spent a few dollars passing some paperwork ready for the IM240, $20.47 IIRC, I will definitely be writing to the transport authority requesting reimbursement. I doubt I'll succeed but ehh... I just wanna get up in their grill for being dickheads about the whole thing.

Its funny the dealings I had with KEC were nice and friendly, right up until I mentioned the car in question, then all I got was negativity and cvnts laughing at me. The jokes on them considering the outlay they must've spent for the equipment ($400,000+), that is now useless, not to mention the profit they won't be getting now hahahah

moooowaahahah!

Orbital weren't open to the public AFAIK.

This.

First I heard of the IM240 was when they rejected my first permit application (late 2007), called Kostecki about it & they said they were setting up for it but were still a few months away. Orbital was the only place set up for it, but weren't open to the public, just fleet cars & things like that. Probably nothing has changed since then

Char - which pits eventually passed your car? I have been wondering this myself if i can go to another pits after getting the report from one already which specifies having an IM240 done, didn't know if this was logged into some kind of system that will match the engine/chassis number..

read this link as you only need 5 gas now

http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/...ht_Vehicles.pdf

Still have 5 Gas to pass but it is harder for the cammed V8's compared to the turbo cars.

LINK TO IM240 UPDATE.

The Government, through DoT, will continue to work with the motor trades industry to review the emission testing policy and ensure an outcome that is in the best interest of all stakeholders.

What the update link says is will continue to work with motor trades to review the emission policy, that does not mean its dead yet!

I heard MTA might support the IM 240 as long as the government run it.

I also heard cammed V8s are getting caned by the 5 gas as Drift says, and more cammed cars failed at idle cos of the 5 gas. than they would be under a drive cycle test.

Ring the DPI dont count our blessing yet.

so lame, makes me want to kill cute small fury animals , if i have to get a stock stagea exhaust i dont know what im going to do!!!!

This is the reason I kept all the stock parts that I have replaced with aftermarket ones in the garage just in case if I need them later on...

Although my parents are telling me to get rid of them as I'm turning the garge into a rubbish dump :whistling:

my list needed "all mods to have permits" i failed the pits 3 times.

the bloke kept telling me i needed im240 test to get permit for my exhaust it didnt actually say on the list 'im240 test'

i didnt get permits for anything haha..

id just reccomend not going to welshpool..ever!

All inspections are stored on an electronic database, they know every inspection/ work order you have had. Thats why they started the TRELIS computer system up.

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
