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..

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:

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.

      Replacing Fuel Pressure Regulator

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
