sorry man i dont really have time for the track ,

Look cops can bust you for a silencer but what can they do ??? They can issue you with a defect in which case you wil go pass it and then go from There ??? But i dont think many cops would pick these electronic ones as it is very hard to notice it unless your the smartest cop around. there aint many of them :thumbsup:

ah dammm.. where r u located abouts?

hard to notice?. wheres ur button anyways? is it near the dash? or like under the steering wheel or like somewhere else?

The button is the best thing about the muffler Its actually on a Key Ring , U know like a garage opener one of those, Its very Small you stikc it on a Key ring And on your key and just keep it ganging off the ket once a cop comes put your hand on the button and it closes striaght away, Best thing about it :thumbsup:

yeah well hats stupidity , i admit i do street race from time to time but there is now ay id do it if it was unsafe id make sure its a clear Road, mabye a motorway or a main highway no back streets, or were there curvy corners very dangerous and especiallynot in the rain ....

I got told my Z31 NA had to be 90db at 3,300 revs...

Had no cat, straight 2 1/2" from extractors to a single muffler... and I had no hope in passing lol. Did get defected for it. Sounded bloody awesome for a VG30E though. ;)

Man the controllable muffler your talking about is actually called a "VAREX"

not "Vertex". Made by X-force, around 300 bucks.

I have one, and i think its a great looking cannon as well as having the butterfly valve/second resonating chamber.

At first it was obvious there was a valve, but now the inside has darkened up you would never know.

Cheers

wow, im comin in late on this thread, but its an interesting one.

I remember clearly, a few years back i was cruising along in a BMW i had built up over the years and i decided, stupidly at the time, id lay a few stripes for everyone to see. Not surprisingly, i was flagged down at the end of the street by an undercover and the fine tooth comb came out.

While i was caught with my hand up the skirt and didnt mind copping the rap for what it was that i did, the cop decided to "test" the zorst for loudness...with his ears and a lead foot and subsequently "stepped over the line that cops should not cross".

He turned the BM on and gave it a right booting. Redline, 7500RPM. Then he switches it off and goes, " Sorry mate, your zorst is too loud. Im gonna have to give ya a yella canary."

Im like, " Im about to give you a broken eye."

I copped the canary but this cop was all fat and attitude - so was his spooning cop buddy, with a handlebar mo the gay guy in black latex from the Village People wouldve been proud of.

Suffice to say it didnt end there and i almost got into a blue with the oinkoink for him being such a wanker..but hey i guess the same couldve been said for me, right?

Still, the law is the law and this snoutnose, was clearly riding it while flashing the badge. I was having none of it.

Went to regency, got the zorst tested and hey presto, it was well under 80. i was laughing to the guy who was giving it the test.

No shit the guy wanted to give me a hard time, sure i was being a jerk trying to impress people, yet still, id wished at the time he didnt have a badge cause i was so hot under the collar, things would have been different...very different. I would have redlined his ______ ( insert colourful noun here )

Now ive been in Japan for 3 years and i have not been hassled ONCE by ANY police and life is a lot more peaceful... Go figure...

end of story!

yea.. everyone has some street racing blood in them

we'll if u wanted to test ur car.. u could do curvy corners... but like.. another story is.. my cousin used to have a Mitibushi Galant VR4.. that type of car is a AWD and it's a rally car.. it was a 2L turbo.

U know when a AWD car does a burnout.. it doesn't hold in one place.. it tends to spin around.... we'll my cousin thought it would be cool for him just to try it out.. coz it spins....

he did if for a while... and then when he drove home... and checked his tyres.... they were worn out... to the max.. it looked like he'd been drifiting.. they were worn until u couldn't see any treads....

with out fixing it.. he went to a mates house after studying to have dinna there..

it was raining aswell

he was rushing home coz it was quite late and he had a exam the next day... so he was on red line 4th gear and going down a hill... the suddenly the car does and unwanted drift..

he's sliding down the road... so he tries.. to floor it (to gain traction)

but it wouldn't work... so all he could do is pull the handbrake and change it to 3rd gear

car slides.. misses a couple of trees by 1meter.. and smashes into a fence and a powerbox...

he was lucky he was alright.. the coppers were alright.. charged him with wreckless driving.. and u could see the skid marks trail.. from like 500meters away..

the police check how many things he hit.. i think it was 7 objects

crazy eh >_<

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
