So you guys recommend the guys at cambertown? i to recieved my letter other day. Do we have to pay when we take the car in? also im not to keen on putting standard intercooler back on, how high are the chances of the fmic failing the emissions test?

That was the whole point of this thread. I never want to take the front mount off even if i got defected for it. Its the biggest job for me to change it back to stock. I thought if you got stock exhaust and filter that a front mount shouldnt be an issue. Im just gonna get it engineered. I dont mind changing filters and exhausts or whatever other mods ive done if i get defected but not the front mount. Where did you get defected anyway?

In short - I was told by the guy that did my noise test that if you get the emmissions test at the RTA and the car passes with the intercooler on it, there is then an RTA certification to verify it complies with the ADR standard.

We all have different mods and in my case I decided that it would be easier for me to change the intercooler in order to avoid the test and the most likely outcome of removing a bunch of other stuff that would have affected the emissions. My intercooler plumbed into the original piping and it only took 1.5 hours to remove it and put the original back on, start to finish. Easier than removing the other mods.

If you havent received a notice or been defected leave it on. If you do get a notice then assess what other mods you have that may be detected at the emissions test and make your call then.

what a pain in the arse simon. are you putting it all back on once it's cleared? If you have trouble in future contact nathan at mt white he knows what is ok and what needs to be sorted

It all sorted thanks Duncan and reregistered yesterday. I have no plans to change it back, the intercooler caused the car to hesitate and the exhaust was to way to loud anyway (99db) so the car is more 'driveable' now.

I don't expect much change to lap times due to this, however I do expect the new diff to drive some improvement so to speak.

If i go and get the emmissions test done on my own free will and it doesnt pass, will they defect me there or just give me the results and send me on my way? Im curious to see if it passes without the risk of copping defects or fines or anything while im there.

Bonkers: how long after the test did you recieve it? I was told 7days except its been longer.

NRV15S: They wont defect you for not passing. The aftermarket may or may not have bad effects, test it for yourself. It was also easier for me to return to the standard smic because my car is running rich (power fc) and was cheaper to buy then get it tuned.

I also left my fmic attched to the car but disconnected my piping. The dude at Campbelltown noted it on the test sheet and took various photos to show.

Hitman in Penrith will tune you for emissions and present the car for you. It's expensive, but basically, you drop the car off, come back in a few days, had them your money, and take you car and emissions pass slip.

Then go and get it retuned... :D

You do not need to get the car re-tuned.

My car passed the emissions test with over 300rwkw. Its all in the tune!

Look at the emissions testing thread in my sig, this was when i was getting mine passed.

I wonder if I will be the only Grandparent entered?

I had big hopes for a while with expressions of interest from Merli, Neil, Majanal..... we just need Fatz, Oz and Deano and a few others to come out of the woodwork for a trackday reunion - then again if all of these guys turned up we would probably just head to the pub eh!!

BTW - are you going to the Food and Wine? Fridays the day, see you there?

      Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate

      I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
