On the way home from work, got pull over cause my blow off valve was too loud by an under-cover cop & recieve a defect note. The undercover cop told me that my exhaust noisy, air filter & blow off valve was NOT standard. Pictures was taken during the process for evidence. And that I have to attend EPA test (Lidcombe) blah RTA blah blah BLUE SLIP.

Have anyone gone through this trouble and can advice what should I do next? I got rid off all my stock parts. Can anyone let me borrow they stock BOV or air filter?

Thanks.

remove the blow-off valve and plug the hole for the test, box up your pod filter, make sure your exhuast is not noisy and has a cat(go to an exhuast shop that has a DB meter). The guy at Lidcombe last time I was there ( got sent there with my wrx which had major mods) was a pretty nice bloke actually.

Lidcombe EPA is differen't to the RTA ,Lidcombe EPA doesn't have an emission tester they only test for noise.

      Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
