hrrmm we got an EPA notice for noise for the 32 as well.. I wouldn't have thought it was that loud personally but maybe I'm just going deaf from something else..

It has an XForce turboback exhaust on it. Anyone else have one of these on a 32 gtst? Wondering whether it will pass without having to swap it back. Tester said no on the phone (in relation to ANY a/market exhaust) but I don't know.. doesn't seem that loud to me??

God they are annoying. Apparently drove past a cop on Flinders St. I think they're just fishing caus they couldn't pull me over at the time. Pain in the butt tho, don't really have time to stuff around with this crap, so over it! I'd really prefer to just give them the $40 and be on my way...

90db is very quiet. Most aftermarket exhausts will fail. It probably sounds quiet compared to other skylines but it is still over the limit lol. I know mine is. (they test it at 4800rpm)

Well what will they do. Send me a EPA in the mail and a defect anyways. I can't see what they can legally get you for. They can arrest you but do you think they will for that?

epa letter is far better cuz you don't get the fines since when you go for the test, the car will be magically stock.

i was thinking hidden kill switch, when im told to move the car, it wont start. call a tow truck and go home :P

herald sun article announcing operation Clear Vision started today in the CBD concentrating on defective vehicles, and especially those with illegal tint. So be aware, avoid Carlton and CBD.

[modification] is being blamed for increase crash risk

follow by an article with no statistics or facts of any kind to proved such claims.

    • Well, maybe not. The main feature of Chinese manufacture seems to be incredibly variable quality, coupled with an apparent willingness to find a way to see even the stuff that fails QC. So the military could still take the cream of the production run and somehow sell the "sellable but not really useable" stuff to the stupid round eyes on the other side of the world.
    • Have you adjusted the clutch pedal rod? You can wind it in to shorten it. Just can be a cnut to get to.
    • Yes sir, that was me. Fake ARP's are also a thing over here in Canada and we only order from reputable dealers. It's sad that even simple things like bolts and hoses are now also being copied... anything to make a dollar.  Story time. Like all cheap crap from China, it's even an issue with firearms. Roughly 15 years ago, I purchased a new cheap Norinco 12g shotgun. First time out in the bush with it, while firing, bolt assembly didn't lock and it fired out of battery. The receiver also being cheap steel, basically exploded in my face. I was lucky to be wearing eye protection. Long story short, don't buy Chinese junk. Also Norinco being state run and their only military arms producer, if ever they do try and take over a country, don't worry about it lol. 
    • Installed  Nismo coppermix twin competition spec last year in my bnr32 with pull trans with Oem slave cylinder. The point at where the clutch disengages/enages is right at the top of the clutch pedal, meaning I barely have to push the pedal down for the clutch to be disengaged.  You guys that have the same combo are you experiencing this high pedal bite point??   Secondly I’d like to have the disengagement point lower meaning I have to push the pedal more(further not effort)for it to be disengaged.  I’m thinking to use a Nismo big operating cylinder(bigger bore at 13/16 vs Oem 3/4) which will require more pedal stroke to get the equivalent movement at the clutch fork. But I see Nismo web site says not to mix these 2 as the Nismo big operating cylinder doesn’t have enough stroke to disengage??? Any folks run both the coppermix twin pull with Nismo cylinder??    Thanks in advance for the replies but prefer only guys with pull clutches to respond. thanks
