Since I couldn't find it, I emailed EPA a while ago and finally got a reply.

Dear Nic:Your email was forwarded to an Officer in the Environmental Enforcement Unit of the Department, who has responded below; I trust this helps with your query:

The Commonwealth Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 allows for the Minister to determine national vehicle standards. Information about the Australian Design Rules and emission requirements may be found here and here.

In regards to offenses for removing a catalytic converter, Section 13A of the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 provides offenses for the modification of a standard vehicle and making it non-standard, and applies a penalty of 120 penalty units.

The Commonwealth Crimes Act 1914 (Section 4AA) specifies a penalty unit to be $110, and thus the removal of a catalytic converter would carry a maximum penalty for an individual of $13,200. In relation to an offence by a body corporate, Section 4B allows for a court to issue a penalty of 5 times the amount of the maximum pecuniary penalty that could be imposed by the court on a natural person, being $66,000.

Settled.

I would like to see the figures for anyone who has actually received this fine in Perth, i recall this discussion on another forum a while ago.. i'd put my money on 0.

...even the inspectors @ pits will tell you to install a cat and come back again. Good scare tactic though!

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
