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

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
