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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
