if you want to buy a stock 2 door exhaust and stock suspension, this guy has been trying to sell them for ages. He quoted me around $150 for shipping to Adelaide. I suggest he would take $300 and you pay for shipping.

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.

Yeah Thanks for the advice mate, but like they said I need a Full VIS, and that regency was the only place to go to or else wait for 4 weeks until they come up. Only thing is I'd have to be here in 4 weeks and have all the repairs done here in whyalla, becoz it costs around approx. $40 for a day permit, just to drive on the road or else I need a trailer... So I'm booked for the 21st of MARCH ... dooms day.. I'm hoping I can get the exhaust fixed up cheap here so I can get an extension from the cops to drive the car back to adelaide until my inspection date.. I hope I pass the first time, coz rego expires in April.

More head achessss........argghh..

oh wellz...

Bad luck mate!

I bet if you had a freaking BMW with a loud exhaust.. it would have been, ho ho ho chaps. son of rajab, I am irritated with regency. It's also total BS that because you have a skyline they "make" you go for a VIS.

A workmate of mine's boyfriend just got his statesman defected for being too low. He rang the cop shop and said, pedders told me it was legal, the cop rang pedders, pedders acted like jerks and so the cop said, alright mate.

The cop gave him a letter to give to regency, and when he goes in to regency they ONLY check his ride height. NO VIS. When he called regency about it they were pissed off as, and basically told him to piss off, but he talked to the manager there and the guy put the letter on the guys file.

Maybe talk to your local constabulary and say, the traffic cop totally farked me, and now I have to drive 4 hours to regency, he practically had his microphone in my exhaust pipe, so on, and if you indicate that you are in fact not a silly 16 year old with a hyundai excel + 4" exhaust tip, you may get similar treatment. Or perhaps an officer in your town can check it. Your car is less modified and in more roadworthy condition than how many other cars, and yet it "needs to be ensured that it's roadworthy?". Nah, fight that mate.

Hey Guys,

Just a little update, I went to the exhaust shop the other day and before he even did anything to my exhaust he decided to test the noise. In his workshop with vibration and reflection of sound, we only got 90 dB at 3200rpm. This was done at the legal measurement of 0.5m on a 45 degree angle. The exhaust guy reckons to get the 95 dB the cop must of had it right in the tip of the car. He also noted that it would have been less if we were outside and my engine had time to warm up. So I went the cop shop and showed the officer the letter, but still he wouldn't clear it because VIS was ticked. So off to regency I go...... pissed mind you. I did get an extension till my inspection so I can drive home to adelaide tonight

I guess it's a lesson learnt..... I'm definately putting out $180 for an APEXI exhaust valve controller ( EVC )

might save me all this trouble next time...

yep, I've got an ECV and it is bloody awesome ... costs a damn sight more than $180 though - plus $120 for weld-in fit with my high flow cat. I think I paid $380 for mine - but still worth the money if it avoids Regency just once.

Ring Mark at ET i know he has had one in his S15 for a number of months if not a couple of years. Not sure if he bought one or made his himself......best to ring and find out, might be cheaper than the Apexi one!

Yeah my friend has one of Marky's ECV's and it works a treat!

Dead silent in 1/2 a sec. Well worth it!

Like Andrew said, if it saves you once its paid for itself.

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
