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.

talk to ya on msn remind me about it.

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:

j/k: making a light joke from a grim situaton

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
