Front Mount Defect Question

[NRV155]

Just wondering if i can be defected for having a front mount intercooler in NSW. If so, why? I wanna know if it worth the $$$ to engineer it or not.

[turbosuk]

yes you can thay will send you for an im240 test at penrith or botany for emisions you can get it engineered but hell ask for the im240 result

[5hu7o]

im240?

[NRV155]

What is an im240 test?

[msnismo]

^^^^^^

emissions test

[Duncan]

im240 test is how they decide if your car can match the same target as a 70's cab in california. great test, well done rta

[NRV155]

So does a front mount affect the emissions?

[Greekos]

not really, but a stuffed cat will

[UWISSH!]

no, front mount wont affect emissions, my bro just passed his emissions test in his 200sx and he had a large front mount on it

i got a defect for my front mount,

found a place that did the dodgy on the engineers cert though.

but got a few things engineered for $400 so all worked out well.

got defected this weekend aswell. pod, bov, two low, he didnt have a db meter so he said i will be receiving a letter in next few days stating which authorised inspection station i can take car to because two many people are doing dogys. does that sound right?

If it had an intercooler before, you can replace the intercooler with a more efficient one without any problems.

Do you only get defected for aftermarket kits?

What about gtrs and evos and stis..

They have pretty big fmic already.

they are standard fitment from factory, therefore meeting emission's level's as per manufacture... short answear is its A ok!

so put a GTR badge on your GTT and claim the front mount is stock. cops wouldnt know the difference.

I got pulled up on monday.

HWP said I will be getting a letter for exhuast and pod.

Need to go to a dedicated inspection station for them to take photos, send them to the EPA and compare to pictures they have of standard car.

I also have fmic and the dude at the inspection station said I need everything returned to stock or proof it complies with ADR's.

Without getting a emission test, is there anything on the net/or here that states that front mounts are adr compliant. I dont have factory smic, and its a last resort to scrabble around getting all the items.

[siddr20]

^ you can borrow my stock smic for a day if you wish..

I knew you would get done after i first seen your car on the other forum and you living in campbelltown. And i bet you got done there too, right? HWP are the worst there. I hate going to my mates house at st andrews just wondering if ill get home without being defected. My mate lives around the corner from the cop shop and is on first name basis with one of the cops there now. Hes been done numerous times.

IM240 will test 4 things(correct me if i'm wrong)

THC- total hydrocarbons

CO- Carbon Monoxides

CO2 - Carbon Dioxides

NOx - Oxides of Nitrogen

Some of you other guys may be able to recall the levels that these should be at to pass.

The hydrocarbons is done by taking a reading inside a sealed room to see if you car is leaking fuel vapour, so make sure your carbon canistor is connected correctly, the other three are exhaust readings.

Cheers guys.
