Cops hassled me last night no defects no fines ! good news is in a week I will get a letter in thwe mail saying I'm to go to the EPA :(

Thats not good I got pod ,bov ,exhaust so I got to put it back to standard,think I got a few weeks cause has to be booked in at LIdcomb.

Just wanted any tips to avoid being fined and getting emissions down,

I don't have the original exhaust so would just getting a quiter muffler and putting stock bov and air box on keep me out of trouble?

someone on here must have gone threw this shit

anyhelp appreciated

"Fun's over "Qoute from highway patrol

if you remove the pod filter and install the original panel filter/box setup the front mount will not give you any trouble. You are allowed one intake mod, ie intercooler or pod filter. What state are you in ??

this differs from state to state also. All i can advise you todo is goto an exhaust shop, get your exhaust noise tested. If its over, im sure it will have a flange in the middle somwhere, just get a smaller pipe made, like 2.5" into a quite muffler. Nothing flash, mild steel shitness.

Apart from that, remove ur bov. your on the right track. Also remove a boost controller if you have one at all.

You should pass no probs

I'm in NSW so you still think intercooler going to be alright ,

I got the bottom half of the air box just need top half ,just jap don't have an airbox in stock but if they did they said it would be $290 thats ridiculous !!

  • 2 weeks later...

just get a proper box made up for ur pod, ( shouldnt have an open pod anyway with all that hot air) do that and ur cooler is no issues at all,

put the stock bov back on, and if the exhaust is too loud just get a little extra muffler in it somewhere, or if u like the loudness get one of those butterfly valves fron nengun..

ben...

i got like 3 changes to my intake and the RTA didn't say a word when i rego'd it, it was in the engineering cert.

As for emissions test, it aint just your noise, all your gasses are read etc, it's very tough to pass. Make sure your ECU is standard too

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
