I'm talking about the external-gate it self though

What if you run a highflow turbo or even a stock turbo with an external gate... then no one will know you have a larger turbo - example

taking off the gate, taking off the gate

abu u should be taking off ur gate :D

Just another quick question, Can i still pass the EPA test with my stock catback but still have my 3inch front trust/greddy pipe and turbo dump pipe?

bceause i just connect my catback to them. Its not that noisy but just to make sure.

I failed EPA once with a massive 111DB, what i did is i got the exhaust shop (the one that did the test) to make up a 2 1/4 inch pipe with a normal muffler to replace my cannon. So i had a 3 inch turbo back right down to near the muffler which then went to a 2 1/4, through a normal oval muffler. It just passed at 89DB.

So if he wanted me to pay for the custom muffler pipe he made it would have to pass :)

Same thing I did. Nobel Park Brake and Clutch did mine. Good service there.

Anyone have some standard RB20 cooler pipes laying around? I need a cross over pipe without a BOV and an intake pipe for between the afm and turbo intake. I can't fit a standard filter box because my intake pipe is a fancy Apexi one. thanks guys.

I have a standard intake pipe and plumb back pipe if you need

Might have some stock cooler pipes laying around

PM me your best offer

:thumbsup:

Thanks abu.

PM sent

Will i get a standard intake pipe to fit my Z32 afm? I imagine that the pipe diameter will be smaller than the afm. Can you interchange afm's with a Apexi Power FC?

You will only get dicked if 1. you have something illegal 2.they find it.

The SAFC is not legal, but if they dont find it you wont get caught. What i'm getting at is take it or, or hide the shit out of it!

If l take out the SAFC ... would that mean taking out all the wiring fromt he ECU back, or just unplugging the unit.

Got a letter from EPA today in relation to a Emissions control system & noise. Exhaust isn't a problem, but not sure what to do with the SAFC.

Hi, I asked this question in a wrong section.

Does anyone know whether dump pipes/visible adjustable cam gears are defectable?

Also, if a cop pulls you over, does he actually go through your car eg., glovebox, etc? I hide my boost controller in there. Can you just unplug it and hide it under your seat or something? Also I heard turbo timers are defectable?!?!

Thanks.

hey just got pulled over 2night by a cop,

just got a few q's...

all the cop did was take two photos, one of my intercoller and one of the pod intake pipe heading out of the engine bay.

when they epa you, do the giv u a canery on the spot?

cause all he did was look at my licence for 10 seconds max, i dunno if he even wrote anything down. then he said u'll get a letter.

then i drove off, i was only pulled over for 30 secs.

any help would be heaps appreciated.

I just cleared my defect today. Relieved that it's all over. Pretty frustrating and vic roads didn't even come out to see the car. After all the work put in getting rwc and taking off mods, it hardly seems worth it.

I don't understand the one intake mod rule. How does having an intercooler and a pod make it unroadworthy? Is it because of the induction noise?

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
