You're sure there's no EPA fine? I'm positive there is...

have you EVER heard of anyone coping this 10k fine for having either no cat/s or screamers? and if someone did get the 10k fine, the whole community would know.

it's just a big scare tactic, and all you'll get is a defect notice advising you to change it, if ur unlucky enough to get caught

Irrelevant, it's still illegal and whoever the stupid prick is who's the first one to come whining on the forums deserves what they have coming.

The EPA has very strict rules on emissions and the fines are enormous to stop people from running any vehicle outside of the clearly defined legislation.

De-catting and screamers should be for track use only, anything else then you deserve to be pinged.

Track use only? Let me guess you have a 92db - 94db exhaust system with a cat :laughing-smiley-014: have fun with that restrictive little system.

Why do you care so much what other people want to run? I maxed out a non industrial DB meter at 130db, so sue me? The guy asked where he could get a vented screamer pipe, not reasons why he shouldn't.

Key words "where to get them" not "tell me why I shouldn't"

If it matters, I have a legal exhaust with a metalcat... while it's no track monster it's certainly not gutless (250rwkw).

If Skyline owners are going to so careless about adhering to the law in this regard, don't we just have ourselves to blame when wondering why we're targeted as hoons? :) I for one hate the old POS silvia who cruises past my house daily with a 100+db milo tin, does nothing but give the rest of us a bad name.

To my knowledge QT used to carry out spot checks on emissions - mainly targeted at vehicles running Super - aside from that I'm not sure, have never been defected.

Also, before bitching that I deviated from the OP, note that I merely followed the direction the thread was taking.

soo then why dont the harleys/motorbikes and v8's get this 'hoon' tag aswell?

this is pointless argueing and we're just gonna get warned or some crap lol

there's been 2 names given so give them a ring champ :)

You contradict yourself. Hooning and a loud exhaust is not one of the same, although I will admit at times they attract the attention of police. Shiny = bad = he must be a "hoon". I'm not condoning people should run non complaint exhausts, I do as its my choice, like wise with the person who asked where to get a vented screamer pipe.

I could write you a half page news paper article theory on hooning, why it started and how its protraded now. However it has nothing to do with this thread, just like everything else in here albar the phone numbers on exhaust builders.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
