i agree stock turbos sound shithouse with a screamer pipe, a big external wastegate though venting to atmo sounds AWESOME but just in regards to the fines.. i recently went over the pits, no cat and screamer... nothing wrong.. and also my mate 04RNZ in an rx3... t66 high mount turbo, no intake pipe/filter, no mufflers, screamer pipe, went over the pits and was out as quick as he came in and nothin happened to him... i think nsw is a little tougher as i lived there, but still out of all the car enthusiasts i know, and deal through with work, i have never seen/heard a fine issued that big.... i do remember seeing a guy get done for excessive noise, but no EPA fines..also my bro inlaw just had his screamer pipe put on his rx7 and got pulled over, nothing came from that, and everything was fine...

ok everyones bitchin about stuff, i know of two people who have had $9000+ dollar fines for screamer pipes they are a major defect which requires the vehicle to be returned to stock before it can be driven again....

Your mates got reamed then. How can they require you to return your car to stock because ONE thing doesn't comply. You are required to make the defecting thing comply with the law and that is ALL you don't have to rip off all your other legal mods just because you got done for one thing. If the two people you know did do as they were told they were very ill advised. The police cannot require you do remove modifications that are legaly applied simply as punishment for breaking a rediculous EPA law. I say it again atmo screamer pipes off large turbo's/wastegates not only sound tough, they give less restrictive flow....same goes for exhausts. Straight through is the only way!!!

I swear so many people on here know someone who knows something who did something who received something, so many missed guided people

how can you tell if your cat is gutted? had the exhaust off when i changed the gearbox and it looked awfully empty... :P

Maybe just weld the cat heat sheild to the pipe so it looks like there's something there :(

Also screamer pipes & 2 flames FTW!

But turning a stock turbo to screamer is the gayest thing since brokeback mountain

1.) if this is for sound, just loosen one of your dump pipe bolts..

the gasket will burn out on that corner and you will hear the same stupid god awful screaching sound of an exhaust leak... this is exactly how a stock turbo, internal wastegate to atmo will sound.

2.) I work for QLD Police.... they can and will fine you the $10K...

As with any cop.. it depends on the individual cop who stops you. and your attitude at the time.

I train with a couple of them who were so annoyed with the individual driver with a bad attitude that they made an example of them..

Also, unless you have an engineers certificate for "ANY" modification from stock, you can be made to remove it.

so the guy above where his mates had to return to stock is very much possible.

de-reg and dodgey road worthy will be and has been found out before too.

that caused a larger fine than the so called mythical $10K fine..

make of this what you will.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
