what a spew hey, hope you sort it out. chasers have a stock item im pretty sure.

u could just put a muffler on it to shut it up and quieten it down or a resonator

i wouldnt goto the effort to change dump/cat/full system etc to pass epa test

unless you really had to of course

krzysiu,

Have you taken it to an exhaust shop to get it tested yet?

I got the same letter, took my car to get it tested and it was spot on 90 dB, therefore legal....

I thought mine would fail dismally but it passed.... Get it checked for $25 bucks and then you get a document saying its right and you can keep it in the glovebox to say that the exhuast is inside regulations.

BASS OUT

Hey Bass, I got the EPA letter and it saye this on the bottom:

NOTE FEE INCREASE

The approved noise tester will charge the following

for a noise test

From 9 May 2005 - $33.75 (including GST)

From 1 July 2005 - $34.60 (including GST)

Can you also tell me the size of your exaust because i will get annoyed if i pay 35 bucks and i fail, then i have to do it again = 70bucks :) Not that much but its still some money that cat be better spent on a saturday night ;)

cheers

I have a Fujistubo Power Getter high high flow cat and Blitz front pipe, stock dump pipe.

Go to the exhaust shop, tell them you got the notice, ask them to listen to your exhuast, they will know soon enough whether it is over or not.

Ah ok, bad thing is i got some Big Jap Spec Dump pipe, and a full stainless steel 3.5 inch Turbo back Blitz system.

Thanks for the advice, ill just take it and let them have a listen.

i had the same thing with mine, was too loud so all i did was get a smaller muffler on the rear for the check, when i got home just put the cannon back on :)

this is very simple dude, and if u know that u r only a few dB's over then fill it with chicken wire

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
