quick query. i own a 94 32gtr and i recently recieved my first full EPA notice, however;
when the police officers pulled me over and found out that it was a "GTR skyline" according to the coppa, he told me my pods were illegal, even though they are dry pods. my intercooler is illegal, even though it is an R33 GTR intercooler (steel end tanks rather than plastic on the 32s) and my bovs were illegal. He also pointed out that my exhaust was rather loud (which it is, fair enough).
So now I have to go get the test even though the legislation clearly states 2 of my intake modifications are legal? So if I put a stock exhaust or have my current one modified to suit and put stock recirculation valves in I should pass?
How is it though the cops can report you to the EPA for modifications that they say are legal? I rang the EPA and they listed the modifications recorded which were;
aftermarket pods
aftermarket intercooler
aftermarket bovs
and aftermarket exhaust.
Is there anyway in the future if I am pulled over of informing the police, shy of pulling out the GTR service manual, that my modifications are indeed legal.
any help greatly appreciated guys
regards,
Gabbo
