some of the Euro cars on full howl would probably receive a letter if cops thought it was a Jap car. Seen some Maserati's boot it, as well as some Ferrari's, noisey shit... just a different note.... but decibel wise i wouldn't imagine there would be much in it compared to an aftermarket exhaust on a turbo Skyline.

Shit, some of these cars have V12's.... what you need are some of the Euro boys to get letters, the dudes on like $200K+ a year, if those sought of ppl are pissed off, shit happens...

Ah.... just looking at what K posted up.... no ECU, only 1 intake mod, no boost controllers.... WTF?? I didn't know that, and looking at what most ppl have done to their cars?? :confused: - looks like garages don't seem to care as they are happy to put all this stuff in our cars...

So does all this mean that those harley bikes and BA turbo falcons with the OFFICAL exhaust upgrade are going to get done by the EPA as well as my pride and joy?????

....yeah right, lets just say I'm not going to hold my breath :)

Saw a P Plater driving a FERRARI the other day :) And a few other P platers in Supras later on.. just lovin the school holidays :

I've heard QLD are more lax, for eg you can have both a Pod filter & intercooler legally... apparently they don't really pull over imports.. is that true?

Why don't you guys just get an engineers cert for all your mods? Or at least most of them..? It's cheaper than actually buying the mod in the first place, right?

with the amounts of canaries/epa's being handed out...your best bet is to invest in some stock gear which goes cheap you can pick it up from the forums (stock exhaust/bov, rip out PFC etc) and stock up your car for a while until the heat blows over! At least you can drive around without getting defected and save up some cash.....who knows maybe i'm just unlucky with the canaries i've copped way too many and enough is enough....i'm sick of the fkn cop lights in my rear view mirror

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
