It's just a warning for now, but says that if I get reported again then my car's due for tests. WTF?!

If it was a report by the police, then it should say where your car was when it was witnessed making all this noise.

If it was a report by a disgruntled neighbour, then you just have to live with it, or find some way of exacting revenge :D

Yup it just says that it was making excessive noise, didn't say where. "No action will be taken on this occasion" unless someone reports it again

nah dude thats bullshit, they have to be under a certian decible limit as well however it isnt 90 it is something else i think either 86d8 or 94 db im thinking the 94... oh and trucks can be 100db...

if the environment is in "such" need of being protected from noise why decible figures differ from vehicle to vehicle....???, its the same with older cars they can be louder than newer cars..... its all bullshit...and i for one will not stand for it!

lmao and what will u do about it?

when i aquire some money i will invest it in a new muffler one that can be heard, one that gives every other performance car owner a feeling... a feeling of happiness, a feeling of enjoyment but most of all a feeling of power, a feeling of being above the law, having your car the way you want it who gives a shit about ur elderly neighbours who cars if we scare pedestrians I dont and neither should you....we will do what we want when we want...i have a dream........

im going to keep my quiet muffler and switch them over ever so often.

*** id like to take a minute and remember my old trust exhaust ...full 4 inch pipe with the good old 5 inch tip id belted out 108 db ...that lasted about 1 month :D ****

thankyou.

My Buggy Belts out 130db from it's straight out exhaust and big twin flames...... Cop didn't like it when I did a wheelstand infront of him..... It was the new clutch officer I swear I'm not used to it....

Ah those were the days of scaring bikers by putting my loud pedal flat to the floor behind them heheheh....

Doc.

I got an epa notice about 2 months ago. It was issued by the police and stated "where" they witnessed the "excessive noise".

I was pissed off because they heard my exhaust in an enclosed area, ie driving down a small road that has shops on both sides [lots of reverb etc], similar to glenferrie road or chapel st, acland st etc. I had given my car [not the current car] some juice [from 40kmh] to speed up after some slow prick held me back for half an hour and thats exactly where some cops were sitting on the side of the road.

My worst luck, having personalised plates they never needed to jump in their car and give chase, they just reported me! Which i didnt know about until about a week later...by mail. bastards.

changed muffler, got compliance notice and sent to epa with :upurs:

I had already measured my car to be 92-93 db [using proper db meter] and there is know way the cops could tell it was over, just a case of the wrong place at the wrong time i guess...

Hey Ait, i'm pretty sure its someone from the public who reported u, most likely a neighbour. i read in either the age or herald sun in the drive section that u can now report cars which u fink are too loud or have too much smoke coming outta its ass. they also posted the number which u should ring up, i fink all u need was the model of car and rego number and where u saw it.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
