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... :cheers:

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 :D

Now, where's that jelly bean...

That's pretty poo :cheers: I have no hope.

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

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
