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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
