Hey All,

Just wanted to know if anyone has been to EPA in the last week or two with an R33

I just had some questions.

*what mods did you keep on your car to pass.

*what mods did you remove to pass the test.

*would i pass with a pod filter, front mount and a aftermarket catalytic converter.

everthing else is stock on the car.

Thank you all for reading and helping me out.

You're right in coming here first; but I'd also check...

plan b > Want to Buy (subforum) and...

plan c > Just Jap at Kirrawee (and ask for a discount if you're an SAU member)

Yeah i call just jap but he had no parts in stock.

ok so i have a airbox now and i think a intercooler see what neils says..

all i'm after now is a stock catalytic converter...

Great stuff boys,,,good to see we work as a team to help out a fellow Skyliner.

Wouldn't it be great if we could actually store these items somewhere for all to use.

I have a snorkel that I can lend but I need it back.

Cheers

Neil.

you will need standard airbox for sure .. and standard exaust , you might get away with the cooler .. and get rid of the bovs if you have one .. i had to go there in my old s14..

get exhaurst tested you are allowed to "fix" you exharust so it does not have to be stock i just has to meet the requirements, fmic will have to come off unless you have engineers certificete, pod filters depend on the inspector as none of the factory polution gear is removed on a turbo car when you fit pod filter( some cars use the air box as noise polution, turbos do not) and as long as it is securly mounted some inspectors will let you keep it.

im going through this at the moment - ive figured out what works and what doesnt.

i did everything except the fmic (because ive got a front facing plenum) im waiting to see if they send me a defective vehicle notice.

- my exhaust passed with 84db (standard exhaust with restrictors through it)

- must be a non-hiflow cat

- standard airbox must be in place

- carbon canister must be connected and functioning (mine just looks like it is)

- FPR must be standard

- ECU must be standard (but they hardly ever check)

- turbo must be standard (mine isnt but i put the standard heat-sheild over it)

- you can just block off the BOV, as long as it doesnt vent to atmosphere you will pass.

you can even have a catch can as long as it doesnt vent to atmosphere. the DECC guys dont look at anything other than things that will effect emissions.

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
