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.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
