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:

    • UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.  
    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
