even with these hot rodders with club rego. if i only drive my car twice a month on normal rego, and it is a 1/4 of the volume of this blown 605 hemi i am talking about. What makes his car any better for the other drivers around ???

it is illegal unless i pay for it up front? what kind of bullshit laws are they. if you can legally drive a hot rod with an engine louder than a f**ken indy car just because of some rego, i see no difference why i shouldnt be allowed to do the same. It makes his car no less of a distraction the fact he has some fancy rego sticker. nor does it make it safer. it is bullshit regardless how you look at it

I'm not sure what you mean.

Their cars aren't better, and they are unlikely to be legal if they're as loud as you say.

If they get caught, they're have to follow the same procedure as anyone else to have a defect or EPA notice cleared.

I'd imagine clearing an EPA notice on a blown hemi would be a hugely difficult thing, unless it has a full engineers report for all the mods.

but that is what i am saying. with these club regos, i have spoken to three people in recent days with them with insanely loud hot rods. (i am only using the hemi in example as it was, by a freaking mile, the loudest) according to him the thing was legal at whatever thousands of decibels it was at. BECAUSE it had a club rego.

No I do not usually take people for their word if I do not know them, or they are claiming something crazy like this, but in the 40 min talk we had at that servo, there was not a single thing he said to me that was not clarified by something else he said. Wen he told me he had 6 hot rods at home I was a little bit iffy, then he started telling me what was in them and showing me pics in his garage.

What I am saying, is there is no reason he would have lied to me about the rego compared to the other things he said, and I believed him. In his claim, his 605 blown hemi was legal

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When’s the tow ball on the 33 coming? 🙃
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
