Yep, another EPA-

Been pulled up In chaddy car park after cops followed me from princess hwy today and received an EPA over my exhaust....

How ever i got "no fine and no Demerits" taken....

Apparently this happens often but its the first for me.

What do i do now?

And does anyone have a stock exhaust i can buy or lend for and R33?

Thanks,.

So this has happened before and of course what are you going to do? your going to dodgy it up and then put that f**king retarded piece of shit too noisy exhaust back on so it will happen again, how about you grow a brain and get your exhaust done probably so it has good flow and is legal, i know its amazing but we have the technology to do it now :spank:

3k? Your shitting me right? Most of the time you just have to replace mufflers with something other than the useless jap shit that were built to be loud since they don't care about Vic pol!

nice way to welcome a newcomer by name calling :rolleyes:

That's more accurate, in fact I insulted his lack of common sense.

yeah but why? how is it affecting you? wouldnt it be more respectable just to tell him nicely? why does it have to resort to insulting straight away? im kind of doing a study on behavior on the net so pardon the questions if you dont feel like answering.

mine is a 3" fujitsubo and has no bends it in. came over from japan and when i got done it was 90db on acceleration and 93db when i let go and the exhaust burbled. but other than that night ive had plently of cops check my exhaust level and say its fine. replacing the pod filter with the standard air box with an aftermarket panel has also made it more quiet but only by a little bit.

either way if u have an aftermarket exhaust im pretty sure its gonna be making more than 90db. my r34 with a stock exhaust made 87db on accel and 90 on the burble i might add

Hey darren.

Reasearch a bit about varex mufflers, type it into youtube, that might be what your looking for.

Remote controlled exhaust, when flap is closed, its factory quiet, when flap is opened, its loud and you get the performance out of it.

Altho not legal, but it will still save you lots of headaches if you know what i mean. Keep the neighbours and misses happy too which is a plus.

approx $400 plus installation.

Ah yes, I thought the same until I got EPA'ed for my Fujitsubo. 91dB on acceleration, 96dB on back-off (does the same burble you describe.) It may be quiet but you'll get done for it eventually.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
