I'm wasting my time talking sense about this, because just about everyone are wimps and won't have a go "you can't beat them, etc"  You're right, you can't if you won't try.  The law [any law] is not based on opinion, or the direction of the wind, etc., etc. 

I looked up the EPA legislation on the net, and of course, it's the same. No guesswork. Things have got to be done according to the law. Just as you are supposed to comply, so have the ppl in the ETA, or the police, or whatever. This does'nt mean they won't try it on, BUT only you can let them get away with it.Stop out of the City on Sat night, etc. What a bloody weak response.

For your info [not that anyone will have the bottle to use it] Before an 'Authorised Officer' can issue a notice, which requires rectification, the noise level has to be tested by a quite rigorous proceedure, by a qualified person. Then, and only then can a notice be PROPERLY issued.  The legislation says that in a much longer fashion, of course.  SO, you can't just get one LEGALLY out of the blue, because you drive a Skyline. So there, I've wasted my time telling you, You can all lie back down again now, ready to get walked on again.

Im definitely going to contact the EPA and enquire as to I was never pulled over for an actual test and still received this notice.

cheers

How about you relax and stop carrying on with such an abusive and inflammatory attitude towards members of the forum? I think you're the only one who needs to lie down.

Under Division 26(1)(a) of the Protection of the Environment Operations (Noise Control) Regulation 2000, if an authorised officer is satisfied that a motor vehicle emits noise at a level in excess of the maximum noise level specified...may issue a defective vehicle notice.

The Act specifies testing procedures but does nowhere state that an authorised officer must test a vehicle before they can issue a notice.

So next time before you decide to misinform everyone here, why don't you yourself take a look at the provisions in a bit more detail.

It's simple, you're wrong. Read ALL the Act - not just the bit that seems to suit your arguement. As for lying down, I never have, I've beaten almost every fine or infringement I've ever been issued {including Camera ones] If even most people 'had a go', the system could'nt cope, and you would'nt get harrased because of the kind of car you drive. Direct some of your energies to fighting for your rights, and fighting petty officials, trying to make themselves important at other ppls expense, not me. Half a brain would tell you, I'm on your side. Like I said, stand up!!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
