NSW defected for exhaust and filter ,I made a box out of stainless and got 2 weeks to get this defect cleared.

"It looks loud " so now apparently it's up to me to find out if its under 90db or return it to stock!!!

aT 4000 RPM ,PRETTY SURE THATS WHEN THEY MEASURE IT ,ITS NOT THAT LOUD AT 4000RPM .

Any ideas how loud 90 db is or where to get it measured in NSW without going to the epa ,i can get it measured there but then they will probably fine me if its over !

So any help would be appreciated or PM of where i can get bodgy blue slip in Sydney.

thanks fellas

Most exhaust shops will do it for you, Midas quoted $44..

$44 to measure the db or to do the defect clearing(blueslip)

Would i just take the read out to the rta to prove the car isn't defective ?

I will still need a blue slip to clear the air filter ,i've boxed it so it should be sweet!

Might do some research on getting it engineered to avoid defects :thumbsup:

$44 for an exhaust noise test, dunno if they'd accept it though. Assuming some of the exhaust workshops can do blue slips, I daresay it would be enough. Just give a couple of them a call to see what they say.

I doubt that a simple db test will be enough to clear the defect. As your exhaust is not standard anymore, it is deemed a modification and will need to be engineered. Your engineer will be able to do the certificate and the db test all in one. He can also engineer your pod too.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
