I just received a lewtter from the EPA saying that my car might not Blah blah blaH!!!!

i HAVE TO TAKE IT IN ON THE 19TH OF THIS MONTH so that they can test it.

What do they test for? And is it just for emission(better replace my decatted cat)????

My car isnt even loud so i dont think noise will be a proble.

Also will i have to change the fmic, bleed valve etc.

Thanx

anything over 90db is not legal for your car. i received a letter from them a couple of months ago, changed my muffler to a more quiet one, had it tested in d/nong, paid the $27.50 testing fee [f***in P**ks] and all was ok [was 87.5 db but was not a skyline, was a modded trx]. I think they tested for emissions too but noise is usually the reason for the letter - unless of course u are chugging out heaps of smoke at the back :confused:

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
