hears a link with info reagarding the EPA's allowed mods on cars and what they can get you for

http://epanote2.epa.vic.gov.au/EPA/Publica...6;FILE/1031.pdf

some points that court my eye.

not allowed oiled air filter (good by k&n), larger or more injectors, inlarged or aftermarket throtel body/ or plenums, any for of ecu up grade unless can be adr aproved. forced induction convertion unless the car came out with an option.

http://www.ntc.gov.au/filemedia/Reports/Na...austNoiseTe.doc

this link has the method for conduction noise testing on motor vechiles

basily it 3/4 of full rpm so 4875rpm for an rb30e or 3200rpm if this can not be worked out.

and noise level allowed is 90db for cars amde after 1985

the EPA can take that rule and shove it up its ass then pull it out and shove it up all other employees ass. It'll be a cold day in hell before they can stop me from modding my car

yep epa can get f**ked, however i was talking to my mate last night at work and we got on to about the epa.

and he told me if you were to dob some one in you have to go to courte witht person and prove that he did the offence that you clame. so in hind site these letters that we get can be challanged and we can ask who is makeing the complaint. he told me why he was going to ring the epa litter/smokey vechile hot line was as follows. he nearly got run over by a p plater in an ss vt commondore so he thought i fix u up and got the rego, he then rang epa they said ok and then sent out a mounten of doc and said that you will have to show in courte to prove that the offender litted or vehicle was smokey.

so if i get one of these letters ill ask whos complaing and take it to court.

    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
    • True on both points
    • So there is no other way to remove and install the ball joints then to buy the Frenchys kit?
    • Just to close off this post with the cause of my oil consumption issues. Vertical scoring and glazing at the bottom of cylinder 6. I'm not happy, but at least I finally found something. I'll pull it and get it apart asap. Hopefully I don't need to go one size up in piston. 
    • I finally got around to purchasing an actual articulating borescope. Great tool to have, I've been very impressed vs my old regular inspection camera.  With that being said, sadly I finally found the cause for my oil consumption. I always had the feeling something wasn't right but compression and leak down tests were always perfect and I had already inspected the cylinders. This time i dropped each cylinder to its absolute lowest point and with the better quality camera I found this... Bottom of cylinder 6.  Scoring looks deep and I'm presuming oil getting by caused the glazing. I already spoke with my assembler, and will be dropping it off as soon as I can pull the motor and get it apart. I'm just hoping it's not deep enough to require boring out from 86.5 ->87mm. Pistons aren't cheap.
