Was having a read in the Vic EPA thread...

Are the JASMA exhaust (Legalis/Kaki/Blitz etc etc) all rated under 89db @ say, 4-5krpm?

Seems like with the RB's EPA is testing the noise @ a certain RPM and people are failing left and right....so being under 89db at idle doesn't help...:dry:

Not interested in getting defected again...so yeah, just curious...

Yeah, as I was saying; they seem to be well clued up on them over here, and they're really starting to target them.

Which is outrageous considering the standard muffler is variable too. Don't get me started on the HSV's, and the italians that have these "sports exhausts" from factory which would never get down to 90db with the valve open.

I'm fortunate- Mine is quiet ~90db. I have no idea if it flows heaps- Scotty might know- didn't you have a fujitsubu?

Exhaust looks the goods Scott. Hope 11's come your way! Think I'm in for a mid 13. Have to go check it out soon.

Ironpaw- FYI a bone STOCK R32 GT-R fails the EPA test on noise. Our get out of jail card is that I bet they haven't done a mean brake power reading or whatever its called on our cars- so for a 6 cylinder they default to 3600rpm or something like that. RB26's have to be tested at 5600rpm or something relatively quite high. Thats why they fail.

LOL, no.

Jasma compliance means the exhausts have to under 95dB.

Yep; totally with you on that, it's fine to have a "loud" override button on your Bi-modal Maserati or your Bogandore; but if you do it on anything else you're a criminal.:rolleyes:

Like you'd ever have it on quiet.:whistling:

Might have to give the sound meter widget on my phone a go; I'm curious now...

Should we try to do a WSID Stagea meet sometime soon? I'm keen to get down again; just need it to stop raining for a few days...pinch.gif

Put it on a milk crate (or something similar height to exhaust) @ 45 degrees from your exhaust outlet at a distance of 0.5 metre.

Down like a clown for WSID- propose a date, make a thread, and we'll see if we can get some interest!

I know there is a SAU NSW WSID day sometime this year, but I don't need more than 3 runs- flogging the car all day doesn't really appeal to my mechanical sympathy wub.gif

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
