Just got back from the EPA inspection!!!! Update


Recommended Posts

Ash, say since im on my nsw p's i can legally drive my car no matter where i go, because my licence allows that. just because im in vic doesnt mean my licence changes to a vic one. same goes with rego, if ur car is reg in nsw/vic then it has to obey to those laws as u answer to that state

but defects have to be cleared by that state that they are given in ;)  

oh and make sure if ur done in another state that ur state knows its cleared.

remember how i got defected at heathcote back in 03 for bald tyres? well i got it cleared at vic roads and 3 months later RTA NSW sends me a letter asking y i havent had the defect cleared yet. damn gov depts

you can get speeding fines/defects and anything in another state.

License ... limitations dont change, its the car that comes under scrutiny

Would this work? The race car is driven allot on the street and i wouldnt want an EPA  on it or else the car would never be registerd again.

I might remove my bonnet puller and just have a electronic button under the steering column to pop the bonnet.

What can do they if you dont plan to pop your bonnet?

think about it, if its broken you'll get a defect, what can they see if you dont pop it?

LOL after my car comes back from the mechanics im changing the location of my bonnet puller and disconnecting the factory one!

Good call R31 nismoid.

And after i sell the 33 im moving 2 QLD :cheers:

Cheers

If you got away with saying your bonnet is broken i would put money on an EPA letter making you go in for a full inspection in the mail soon after.... so even if you did get around the cops, the EPA would get ya!

Its worth a go though!

They cant make you go for a full inspection without nabbing you for it in the first place.

Ie, seing you have an AVC-R and nailing you for it.

The only place you go in Vic Roads to get the canary off.

Maybe an exhaust EPA - big whoop. We;ve all been there

i totally agree with not being able to be sent to vicroads.. they cant get u for things they cant see..

the EPA exhaust test is no big deal.... but the cops can send u in for a full inspection and emissions test and they do check over the car for illegal mods, turbo, injectors, etc etc... or at least they did with mine.

okay so if my engine bay looks fairly standard but i have injectors, the epa with a full inspection can legally open up my rocker n pull out the injectors 2 see if there stock or aftermarket?.... and are oil coolers and the braided lines legal or illegal?

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
