A pretty unpleasant policeman just had a go at me for my muffler being too loud. I was in a breath test lane being tested; and he's come right up and stood behind the car glaring at the exhaust

as if it had just insulted his mother or something.... apparently I'm getting mail from the EPA and i will have to go to a test.

Here's the kicker; the exhaust is completely stock... its no noiser than your average astra.

The only thing i'm thinking about is the pod filter mod i had done a few months ago. i paid for someone to do it properly with the intention of keeping everything legal and above board.

He couldn't have heard the filter at all in this situation; i was rolling at 40 km/h

I've attatched pics so you can see whats going on.

Now; the thing is a little bit loud when you have your foot flat; but then again most cars are and this is not an exhaust noise; so... gah... i don't know what i'm in for basically. If anyone could shed

some light on the situation that would be appreciated

thanking you,

alex

There is a massive "EPA" thread already in the Vic section

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/156269-the-epa-threadroadworthy-thread/

Go have a read of it mate, read the entire thread.

There is plenty of good info, experiences and so on to learn from.

End of the day, an officer can report you even with a stock exhaust.

So welcome to the club of EPA notices, most people get at least one in their lifetime.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
