84? dunno just going by what the tester said, maybe i misunderstood. but he told me not to waster my money reckons it wont pass with the silincer anyways so go get a stock or give him $400 for tripple muffler setup????!!!!

did you wanna lend/sell the stock exaust alex?

Don't bother trying to pass with a modified exhaust, I thought mine was quiet...turned out to be 98db. The standard one is about 88db @ 5000rpm or something...the limit and the RPM it is tested at is nothing short of ridiculous. And the GTR as far as I know, breaks the limit in standard form. Chuck a stock one on just for the test if you want to risk it again, or get some ridiculous three muffler system for a permanent solution.

Just another example of our police force equipping servicemen with hearing abilities that would put Superman to shame. And YOU have to pay for the test :blink:

and no repercussions when they're actually wrong,

would you prefer a noise test on the spot? What if you fail then? Then there is no reason not to issue you a fine or say the car is undriveable from that moment.

At least with the current system, you can change it back to standard and then go to to noise test

Sure you get done for a $xx test fee but I believe its better than any possible on-the-spot fine if they do testing when they pull you over.

(this all based on cop issuing noise epa notice)

std r32 gtst exhaust is 89db so anything modified will be over the limit. Majority of skyline drivers would be over the limit unless they spent money on a custom silent exhaust.

yup, i dont really mind a fine on the spot, but then again, for an accurate noise test, there are a lot of requirements that have to be met... so. any reading that's taken by the side of the road, where there are trees and shit, can be disputed, no?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
