How many people actually got fined for $10,000? Can anyone provide details as to why they got fined $10,000? Is that a fine from the cops or from EPA? Was it on the spot or when you're going through the pit?

But again like everyone said, its not worth the risk with the amount of gain. I just asked the question out of curiousity as I reckon that kinda fine is a bit ridiculous especially when a defect fine is only $100.

So many people de-cat their imports....i just had the standard cat in there, unbloted it, bashed the guts of the car out with a screwdriver and put the cat back in. Made massive flames, like 2m long bright orange flames lol

harden up and run he de-cat- more power, a shitload cheaper and better turbo response

yes apparently its a 10k fine but how can they find out? we dont have EPA in perth

even then is a copper really gonna stick his head under your car? even then hows he gonna see if u've got a gutted cat they dont carry infared thermometers all they can do is 'suspect' u have no cat and then give u a yellow. if u go over the pits with a decat/no cat then u deserve the 10k fine, after u get a yellow u got shitloads of time to take it off.

it was said before, whos actually been done for not having a cat (in perth anyway)

-ive got a 3inch straight through pipe which has had a standard cat chopped in half and welded around it (cat temp sensor still screws into the shell) for sale as my cars written off u wanna buy it PM me (btw this was used for the track only not on the road)

Go run a GRiD backfire with decat in front of a cop car, and get back to us on your "yellow" sticker with a shitload of time before expiry....they can (and have done previously) given as little as 15 minutes on yellow stickers).

You'll get a RED sticker for that shit.

And EPA isn't necessary to get you into shit over here, go give it some juice at night time......we've all seen a de-cat'd car give it some juice at night, and the sudden bright flashes it can cause....that shit can cause short and/or long term damage to vision.

De-cat's are a stupid idea, they do f**k all for performance. 7hp, and what do you get? You can't have a decent conversation in your car, which you have to clean weekly thanks to unburnt fuel being all over the back of it.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
