Ive been DECC 3 times already for "noise" pollution and all 3 times have gone to that "granville guy" and passed. Its not difficult, trust me on this one.

lol why would you go through the trouble of fabricating pieces thats going to take you a couple of hours to make and fit when you can just go borrow a standard exhaust and slap the thing on in 30 mins. Much easier, simpler and a GUARANTEED pass. Its a N/A car after all.

hahaha a couple of hours no way.

How many hours will it take you to find someone with a standard exhaust, go pick it up, swap it over, put your exhaust back on and then take it back?

I made a BOV blanking plate for my mate in about 30mins yesterday so its not hard at all

Just got the metal piece behind the cat put in, holes drilled and steel wool stuffed in, cost me $50 but its much quieter.

Just got off the phone to the "approved" list of mechanics. Granville. $60. what a joke that i need to pay for this aswell.

My mechanic sed my exhaust is 3" going to 3 1/4 back to 3". HAHA i always thought it was a 2 1/2 " who in there right mind would put bigger on a NA.

hhmm might do them both. He check the heat temps on the cat, It has not been punched out. I thought he drilled a few to man holes in the metal flange piece, but its better, might whack one behind the muffler like you say.

Booked in For granville next week.

yeah mate - if you had told us that you had a silencer in the car we would've told you that they do not accept them. they will accept a silencer that is welded in 3 spots (tak welded only). it doesnt have to be completely welded. this is why we recommended the guy in campbelltown - he actually knows the rules.

hmm got it welded on the way home, i called and asked what type of weld he wanted, he sed any along as it becomes "part" of the exhaust, got a rough mig weg the whole way round.

My noise DB reading came in at 89.7

Why exactly cant you have an FMIC? I can understand the atmo bov but cmon. This is starting to become beyond a joke. There are plenty of standard cars out there which are louder than skylines. The amount of shut the f**k up commodores I hear these days, all drive around untouched.

What is the point of all this? To create hassle and headache for us. Are the Nismo exhausts legal? Its got two really big mufflers on it and its really dead quiet, even under WOT its not really that loud. I'm gonna hang onto it just incase...What about a sealed enclosure around the intake? What about a return flow FMIC which doesnt hinder the structure of the car?

to be honest i didn't even know it was a silencer, just assumed a dodgy cannon. the inspector tried to pull it out ect and noticed it was tig welded on the inside. Hence i didnet see the point at all why the outside needed to be fully welded. See how i go on Wednesday morning aye.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
