Totally agree - It's utterly ridiculous. But one must work within the confines, it's easy enough to do if you go about it smartly from the outset.

Totally agrees with this comment. :thumbsup: As I have been attacked by the EPA 3x times. pinch.gif twice I have had to visit the 'Vicroads' centre with a stock exhaust fitted, after a noise test. Got a on the spot fine once from a 'Toggy' after he pulled up behind my car whilst I was in a shop. He took off then sent me a $600> fine in the mail. :pirate: I keep my stock gear for this very reason!

On other note. I go have a chat with the 'mechanic' about fuel pressure for 17 PSI.

Thanks mate.

oh, to beat the quick unplug afm test, possibly run half the injectors or coils looping through the afm wiring?

that would get them a little...

maybe...

Good thinking, if not just use the 'fake/un-used' wiring from the AFM's plug back to the ECU, as a loop back to the ECU loom to tap into injector pulse wire or something. Make sure you read the wiring diagram twice!

Ye Bendigo you poor blokes cop it worse than we do in Melb cause of all the young muppets out that way.

Done smartly you can have your 300rwkw, and be EPA-Spec in around 20mins by just swapping exhaust & ECU over :thumbsup:

Sorry dude but you don't know what you are talking about with regards to what happens down here and it's not as simple as you make it out.

The EPA will unplug the AFM, it's a 30sec check to tell them if you have an aftermarket ECU or not. They are not stupid down here unfortunately.

If the AFM unplug doesn't work, then they will look closer at things like injectors (colour of tops), and even open up the ECU case. I've had them open up the case on my ECU as the consult port wasn't working, which they can also plug into.

wow wee!!!

you seriously saying they are up to that kinda shit there? its really that bad????

I would have fun with these guys... Id just chip tune the stock ecu and not even use a socket, put it directly on the board...

what a way to get pulled over... "excuse me sir, is this a 16 or 32 bit eprom?" AHA! thats a writable eprom, here is a 1000$ fine buddy.

create something that goes through the dummy AFM, so when its unplugged the engine loses ignition power.

WTF!!! :blink:

Honestly I would spend the mo st and get a haltech or vipec, something to consider with a power fc is that it costs about 900, but you want more power later on then you have to spend 600-900 getting new afm.....

For the same price straight up you can get a much better ecu that uses a decent map sensor, has 32x32 mapping, much better features and upgradable firmware

I'll be looking into these 'Haltech' ECU's seem to have a lot more functions than the 'Apexi' or 'Nistune' ECU's. Direct plug and play replacement of the OEM ECU, no re-wiring necessary.

Thanks.

Powerfc or remap the std ecu, a nistune remap would probably be the best option for your budget and application $850 from most places drive in drive out.. i personally am happy to use nistunes on gtrs up to around 450-460rwkw mark.

We do plenty of big hp cars with Nistune remaps which sail through epa inspections so im sure any other shop can do the same.

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
