Hi guys,

I should have gone on the cruise on sunday, instead I decided to drive to whyalla early for work so as to be safe. Instead what happens... Our friendly law enforcement officers at Pt Augusta decided to have a blitz on all traffic heading north.

I did the usual breatho, and was about to get released, when over the CB's I hear them say, "just check the yellow car's exhaust..."

I was like.. F@#$%

After previously measuring at the exhaust shop I knew it would be a few decibels over but that was at the tip. Then after speaking to busky he reckons they had to keep the sensor atleast 1 metre away. Being only 5db over the limit I thought.. okay is this guy gonna let me off?.. No.. instead he ticks the VIS section in the form.. I was like F@#$

So I guess it's off to regency for me now..

Anyone got stock parts?.. lol

I need

R34

exhaust,

suspensions, ( i got the struts )

airfilter???

thanks

Duc

Ive got an R33 airbox with hiflow panel airfilter, not fitted to my Stagea atm, but thats all. Sorry 2 hear about the troubles.

Thanks Brendan,

I might get away with secure podfilter, but if I do need I'll let you know... ( not sure if it will fit ... but beggers can't be choosers )

i though the adr's stated that the cop had to stand at the side of the road, on a 45 degree angle, and measure your noise, while you drive past doing the speed limit?

Id be filling out a complaint about how the police are enforcing the adr's that they are supposed to be following.

Sorry, do you know just how much over the legal limit 5dB actually is? Do the math...

:)

On the decibel scale, the smallest audible sound (near total silence) is 0 dB. A sound 10 times more powerful is 10 dB. A sound 100 times more powerful than near total silence is 20 dB. A sound 1,000 times more powerful than near total silence is 30 dB.

No, I reckon RING AGAIN, and simply ask for your nearest inspection site. Simple. They WANT you to go to Regency, but there are other inspection sites (ie Sturt Rd, next to cop shop, Tues & Thur only s 9-3pm).

There would be one in the country, surely.

Just to expand on what 2rismo has stated.

Approx for every 3db, you double the sound level. So your car is almost 4 times louder than what is legally allowed.

But i do understand how you feel. My exhaust was very loud, i have since chaged it 3 times. I use to have a hi-flow CAT and connon muffler only. I now have a hi-flow CAT, two old-style shape (hi-flow) mufflers and one long resonator, and i have a feeling that i may still be over the limit ;).

Bad luck mate - like I said yesterday, your stock R34 wheels are in my garage ready to be picked up Duc.

I also have the stock R34 air box sitting around if you need it, but secure pod filter should be fine.

I am sure Sean (MXTCY) would be fine with me lending you his springs.

I think FBImports might have a stock R34 2 door exhaust somewhere. Otherwise try mad34 (I think) - I think his is off the car and in his shed? Otherwise see if Rory Thompson has one to hire for fitting compliance cars.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
