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:

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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
