I am forever 'running and hiding' when it comes to driving. My car is engineered by Ray Spence (at Canberra Motor Works - someone may have his number for you) for my FMIC, Exhaust, Wheels and POD/CAI. I have since put on a PowerFC, GTRS and Nismo Injectors which now makes it a different kettle of fish with my engineering as it will require a visit to Sydney to get emission tests done.

Now, I think the exact same way as you where I don't think there is anything wrong with my car, but the police/rta do always differ opinion on the side of the road. My exhaust was defected on noise one friday night near the Subaru dealership in Phillip, didn't change a thing when i went over to Dickson to clear the defect and passed on noise without an issue. (Oh, and i had to go over Dickson because the RTA inspector said, "Well you failed on noise by 2db and I've ticked full inpection just to make sure everything else is A-ok"

So where I stand now is considering changing my current FMIC to Just Japs 'stealth' one so i can re-install my original airbox to avoid the police/rta on the side of the road yet again ignoring an engineering cert and sending me back over Dickson because I have a POD filter (even though its enclosed, heat shielded and sound deadened).

I hate feeling like I am a prisoner at home, it reallllly gets me angry because I am unable to drive anywhere due to someone wanting to 'enforce' their 'power' over me...

Thanks for the advice on emissions guys and gals. I'm thinking along the same lines DriftGTS, just want to be perfectly legal so I don't have to pee my pants whenever I come into an RBT etc etc...

I have heard word that it costs like $1500 to sit an emissions test in Sydney and you pretty much always fail and have to repay and resit.. Anyone have solid info about how much it costs to get tested and certified?

The cost of inspection = FREE

All you need to do is book in, arrange time off from work, buy permit for unrego'ed car in NSW and ACT on said day (if needed) and drive up.

I failed my first one and passed the second, all cause I didn’t swap the hi-flow cat (real, not gutted) for the standard.

The difference was;

Hi-flow = THC g/km 2.74, NOx g/km 4.08, CO g/km 10.3 and CO2 g/km 230.0

Standard = THC g/km 1.88, NOx g/km 2.17, CO g/km 8.2 and CO2 g/km 221.3

one way to pass is to use a standard exhaust and mod it to have 2 catalytic converters, or use a smaller than standard cat.

Basically just keep the volume of gas down.

Hope this helps

Now, where's that jelly bean...

That's pretty poo I have no hope.

Until now all mods cept Power FC and turbos were engineered so I hope this doesn't make life painful.
