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.

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
