Cool I can't wait to see a dyno graph scanned Dan.

Ok so still some room for improvement. I'll have to see what can be done about that. 27 rwkw increase, might get another 5 or 10 with leaner mixtures ?? I'll scan the graph in at work tomorrow. Power curve looks quite fat to me.

Thanks again all, and happy birthday to Duncan for yesterday.

Mine is the same as yours Doc. Hmm.

I ended up going to to Procar at Dee Why. Cost me $45 and he was a good guy. Also got 189.4 rwkw at 0.8 bar up from 162 rwkw at 0.85 bar.

Well I just did a dyno run to find out the following: 1. 189.4 rwkw at 0.8 bar which is up from 162 rwkw at 0.85 bar before the ECU. 2. I'm not sure how to read air fuel ratios. It's between 10.9 and 11.65. Which is leaner?

I think more to the point is the wording of the emissions legislation. I haven't looked deeply into it but from what I've heard it's all about capacity without proper allowances for turbos. Apparently Saab have been making complaints for years about this. Are they trying to tell us that a Skyline pumps out much more crap than a big v8???

Well the epa can't defect you for that but I don't know about any other entities.

I just ate 6 Krispy Kreme donuts and I feel fine. Bit sleepy though. Still got 3 left.

Thanks guys. Friday is a good day to have it. yay for the weekend. don't laugh Duncan it's yours tomorrow and you're heaps old.

Thanks for that. Now linked back too.

Nearly right there. I've put some more info in this other thread. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...0170#post970170

Ok more info: The ESMP = Engine Speed at Maximum Power. Test is to be done at 3/4 of ESMP. This is the revs they test your car at. They have certified certain cars and engines and if they are not on the list then for 6 cylinder engines the engine speed the test is to be done at is 3200 (Woot!) These are the engine speeds: R32 GTR 5100 R32 GTST not certified R33 GTR 5100 R33 GTST 4800 R34 GTR 5100 R34 GTT not certified I'm overlapping with my other thread here need to find it to linky. Anyone got some spare time to do it for me?

Ok, I've just spoken with the EPA and they use clause 20 of the Protection of the Environment Operations (Noise Control) Regulation 2000 to defect pods. This means that the 90 dB limit is what applies here. So if your exhaust is under 90 dB there is nothing they can do about your pod. There are strict testing procedures for exhaust noise but nothing prescribed for pod noise so the law is ****ed here. Clause 20 states : 20 Repairs and modifications A person must not cause or permit a motor vehicle’s engine, or its air intake or exhaust system, to be modified or repaired in such a manner that the maximum noise level of the motor vehicle after the repair or modification (regardless of the noise level of the motor vehicle before the repair or modification) exceeds the maximum noise level specified in Schedule 1 for that kind of motor vehicle. Maximum penalty: 100 penalty units in the case of a corporation, 50 penalty units in the case of an individual. So if you're under 90 dB they got nothing. more to come...

Hmm SK... It wasn't taken to court specifically as a repeat offence. Moanie wasn't actually charged under that part of the act. If she had and been found guilty it would have been a bigger fine as that part is separate from the parts she was charged under. Under the act it is up to the officer involved as to whether it goes to court or an on the spot fine is issued. Any idea where it says they can't photograph your car unless given permission in writing? For permission; As far as the law is concerned, unless specically mentioned (as it is occasionally but not as often as you'd think) verbal communications hold just as much weight as written ones as long as the proof exists. For taking photo's; I haven't read the Privacy Act for a couple of years so maybe that's what you're referring to??? I notice that when Moanie went to court she wasn't charged with anything in relation to the pod filter, the only mention of that is on the EPA "Defective Vehicle" notice on which no legal basis is provided. It's just a box that is ticked. "Refit ( ) Standard air cleaner assembly" So what that means is that she wasn't charged or fined for the pod but was made to remove it to clear the defect. I don't know whether this is legal or not.

I have an AVC-R which does have all the bells and whistles. I don't see how it's that much better than any of the others but I do appreciate the information all the little readouts give you.

So how old were your injectors and when was the last time if ever that they were cleaned? Also, as questioned above, does anybody know about that injector cleaning stuff you put in your fuel?

Ok ok ok. I was going to put my Skylines Australia sticker on it cos I can't bear to put it anywhere else on my car.

The guards on that thing are pumped. Were there any 4 door R34 GTR's? I know there were some R33 ones.

That's pretty good.

I've got a GeForce 3 Ti200 with an Athlon 2600+, Will that be able to handle it or do I need card upgrade? Oh, I've got 512 MB RAM PC2700.

Doesn't that make you shit water?

Lappy - DVD drive? Other specs?

Performance cams - maybe Stainless exhaust manifold Power FC - no Coil pack - series 2 R33 to R34 yes - Series 1 R33 to either no. Cam gears - no Pistons - yes Greddy plenum - why? HD clutch

You need a 4 door Shonen. I don't have that problem.
