sorry to have to create this thread guys.. but im desperate... ;)

i got pulled over about 3 weeks ago and done for driving high powered vihicle on my p's, they decided to be mean about it and defect me, do me again for power/weight, and then send me an EPA notice for vihicle emmisions test and noise test

cut a long story short, yes i was in the wrong, i had an r33 gts-t on my p's, i got caught, and yes the car was modified... that aside, the car is now for sale, i cant sell it becuase it has an EPA resting on it...

i returned the car to complete standard EXCEPT for a milotin muffler on the very rear of the standard exhaust

the car passes emmisions, but not noise test

so i desperatly need to borrow someones standard r33 catback exhaust

anyone who could help out, it would be much appreciated

thankyou

Sorry to hear dude and well done for not jumping on here hating the Police. Why not get a cheap run around until you are off your p's and store the car elsewhere as it seems to be your pride and joy?

Sorry to hear buddy, rotten luck often happens to the most responsible of drivers.

If you are prepared to travel west (5min from Calder Park Rwy), i have the full stock exhaust. Never had to use it, after i put on my aftermarket system on, but i am pretty certain it is complete.

if justins 4door dosnt fit mark, take a pic under the car where the rear muffler joins i may have one that will fit, if it joins just on the end it will work. its a muffler/tip super quite.

thanks heaps guys for the replys... goes to show this club really does have a great bunch of members.. the reason im selling it is because ive been done for driving high powered vihicle in my own suburb twice now, both within a very short space of time, and as ironic as it sounds.. came very close to getting done in my own street too,

i'd love to hold onto the car ... but reality is, i have 2 and 3/4 years until i can legally drive it again, and its hurting me too much just sitting in the garage, its my pride and joy, and making the decision to sell it has really cut me up.... i wanted the time to come where i felt i should move on and sell the car, not be forced into a corner with very few options, however in many ways i brought it upon myself by taking the risk, with the attitude of "it won't happen to me"

the club has influenced me greatly over the last year of owning the car, and have made many friends that i decided to purchase, yet another skyline :)

.... so sitting next to my R33 is my new R32 GTS-4

i'll pm a few people, looks like i shouldnt have any worries getting a lend of a standard exhaust thanks to all you guys :P

just hope to remove this stupid Green EPA defect sticker

and begin advertising my baby :P

Damn!!!

Reading you post i just thought, "ah poor guy, he must live near Knox". But you only live in Eltham :P, there are so many good roads there, i was planning a small cruise with some mates, will have to reconsider :(

nah Al.. you'll be fine... your off your p plates, your car is extreamly clean,

only reason i got done was becuase it was 2 in the morning, bored cops at booze bus, one of them clicked that it was over power/weight, and one of my headlights had just blown, hence the reason why they were interested to see what else was "wrong with it"

allthough they are quite picky on the whole "high mount brake light" as i didnt have one after removing standard spoiler and replacing with stealth wing!

... but by all means drive to eltham.. im just working it up to be more then it is coz i got done bad lol

great roads around here, moreso kangaroo ground, warrendyte, kinglake and st andrews all have fantastic roads

you can still get to them by avoiding eltham though.. just have to drive around through say greensborough or diamond creek!

thats if your extreamly paranoid... mums been driving my car round a bit in eltham.. and they dont seem to care coz the car doesnt have p plates on it!

Would have avoided Eltham as it is shorter to go through Greensborough bypass/Diamond Creek :).

I too need to fix a 3rd brake light, have been putting it off for too long :(. Have a feeling that they will definately pick on this, if i was ever pulled over.

PS: Told ya to remove your stealth wing :mad:

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.

      I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.

      Rusty roof repair

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway.

      Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      By WR33KD · Posted

      I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
