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?

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
