The other nite i got screwed over by the boys in blue and was defected for my car being too loud and my air filter. I since fitted a much quieter exhaust and when i went for my noise test today i still failed, car came in at 96db. Also with the filter, it is totaly boxed inu cannot c it and looks very professional. but have still been told its not correct wtf????? i have since been sent to get an emissions test done now and i got no idea what they are goin to look for?????? i have also been told to remove my intercooler as its suposably a defect???

If it helps my car is running the following

Apexi pfc

3" exhaust

fmic

550cc injectors

500hp fuel pump

Z32 afm

up2 19psi

pod filter

splitfire coil

high flowed turbo

If there is any1 out there who has had to go for these tests or no what they going to get me for your advice would be great

In Queensland the standard DB for exhaust's is 90DB at 60% of your redline. So if you redline is 6000RPM, they will rev it to 3600RPM to get your DB. To pass you pretty much have to put your standard exhaust back on.

As for the Pod in the box. It is illegal unless the box fully seals when the bonet is closed. If it doesn't then defect. And everything is illegal. I dont think the intercooler is though. It will be if your bumper is off. But otherwise I'm sure its legal.

Get rid of your BOV. Put your standard injecters back in put your standard MAF back in and wind down the boost to like 7PSI and you shouldn't have a problem. Make sure you cat is good and still has the honeycombe stuff in it. and a couple of mufflers.

1995 EPA test's wern't that bad so if you do all of that, You shouldn't have a problem passing the EPA and defect.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
