Hey everyone, Im a P plater for a na R34 and I recently asked a tuning shop in my area in Victoria if it's legal to have a pop and bang tune to my exhaust, they said it's legal but I've heard from a few people that's it's actually illegal and I could get a defect from the police cos of it.

I'm just wondering if it's illegal to have a pop and bang exhaust (mostly when I decelerate if that matters)

Hey quick question, I run into alot of kids with pop bang exhausts. I feel like it's kind of obnoxious, attention seeking mod especially when on non performance orientated cars. But may be I'm wrong. Anyone care to educate me?

Are there benifits of pop bang tunes on econoboxes or is it another useless, counter productive fad like spinning hubcaps, guccigang and key banging?

I think pops are cool when it's the product of a non-contrived or naturally rich AFR

but the trend of P-plater Golfs with a Stage 69 fart-shift overrun tune which is spitting fuel into the exhaust for 300m down the street when they lift off at 1500rpms at 35km/h - yeah, that's lame as f**k.

 

Also to your actual question, yeah it's probably illegal - or will at least give the authorities a reason to pull you over and find something illegal.

It's a trait of running carbies, or super rich tune, or a fuel munching rotor, or a tarmac eating jet truck

Or it's a sign of a poor tune or "becauseracecar" with a modern fuel injection system.

Kids will be kids

I cannot believe the police don't come down harder on it, to me it's a classic case for a defect.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
