i want to know aswell , i was thinking someone must of dobbed me in but if they called the cops they would come not send a epa??? yeh?

not the case mate..3 complaints from ordinary citizens or one complaint from a police officer or ranger and ur gone...i argued with them at length about it when i was issued with a notice because the notice was for about 8 months before i even owned the car...not alot you can do about it mate..they just say that once its on the books only way to have it cleared is to have it tested

What's an emissions camera??

they just record the decibel level of cars going past..know idea how they determine which vehicle the noise is coming from..i only know of 2, on on the m5 or m4(whichever one goes to chullora) and there as one on the big downhill section into wollongong, i think they were mainly for trucks though?

if you can get the parts easily enough and ur car isnt heavily modified, changing to a standard exhuaust or somthing nice and quiet is the best option.. theres a few threads about these inspections, so should have all the info on what u can and cant get away with.. coz even if you only get done for dB level, they still do a full inspection, under the bonnet and up on the hoist.

yep, if you ring up, they have to tell you where and when you got done and whether it was by police, or some randoms or whoever dobbed you in, obviously they wont give away names but :ninja:

i thought we voted for the solution last weekend.... :P

they want us all to drive white camrys!

sometimes i wonder why i dont :glare:

even a pod on a turbo car may make enough noise to get you into trouble too...that is their latest reason for why pod filters are illegal... from what ie been told by the technical officers at the DECCW you do not even have to be pulled over. as long as they get your rego plate and can say where and when they saw you, you have to go for an inspection anyway. ( unless you have a repco dB tester and then your in the clear :thumbsup:)

repco db tester FTW!!!

haha the perfect gift for any import driver..imagine the look on the cops face when they say ur car is too loud and you're just like, "well, i beg to differ" and you can proceed with confidence to prove that ur car is below 90dB, before getting pepper sprayed :rolleyes:

You could put the tester near the cop and inform him that he is dribbling shit at a loudness of about 30dB. haha

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
