Epa Notice On The Night Of Beach To Burger Cruise


Recommended Posts

They don't need to KNOW that it's over 90db, they need to suspect that it is. Guilty until proven innocent is how it works in Australia with this stuff...

And the cost of proving yourself innocent rests solely on you.

Same i don't have 1 either ..... If i get 1 im going to skitz i went to so much trouble to get a N1 exhaust so i don't have cop trouble!!!!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed .

I've never had an EPA notice for exhaust noise, but my GT-R is fairly quiet (even with the 3" exhaust).

Can you just pop along to a testing place and get a test done without the EPA, I'd prefer to get it tested and know it's leagal when it suits me, not when I have to prove soemthing to the EPA....

I cant believe it, I have one but not from this cruise.

How did they get all the plate numbers down while everyone was driving past???? did they get a video camera out and pause it everytime a skyline went by.

Why dont cops just go n shoot some 15 year olds and make up some stupid story to justify themselves.

what a load of rubbish... 90% of the bikes that hammer past my place would be WELL over 90db... should be the same set of rules for everyone... I understand it helps them be seen etc but most of them are stupidly loud... I can hardly hear the imports in comparison, even those with fully hektic exhausts :(

adam in the rolla might of got one also

im all sweet atm, but i had twin mufflers on at the time so pretty sure it should be sweet .

so what do they want you do to ? get a DB test ?

lol nice hello kittty

they might of thought i just got stuck in the line up, bloody stupid wagon in the way of that rolla's number plate

Was my car really that bad? :) Only my valve stem seals which are gone anyway, easily fixed.

And I haven't received anything so far.

Edited by adam-__-

my bile has a plate fixed to it's stock exhaust that says it is less than 96db @ 7500 rpm... the redline is 18,500 rpm and i would be guessing it would be well and truly over 100db at that..

nick, bikes have a higher limit - think it's 9Xdb or something.

ah okay fair enough... still, some of them are just ridiculous, even the loudest import doesn't compare... some of the big old school V8's are MUCH louder as well, I don't think turbos are that bad... after all they have a dirty big turbine in the exhaust

ex gates are another story tho :)

Gday all, your cruise happened to be on the same night as a regular motorbike cruise that occurs in Melbourne every Thursday night . Sort of a fast and furious get together except its for motorcyclists.

Motorbike riders gather at the BP servo in Marine Pde Elwood at 7.30pm, there are up to 100 motorbikes that gather for the weekly ride. Many bikes are heavily modified, especially their pipes, unregistered, unroadworthy and some riders are unlicensed, this ride is monitored by the cops including cops who mingle in the group as normal random riders in plain gear on unmarked bikes. The cops also follow in marked, unmarked cars keeping on eye on the groups behaviour.

The cops would have been there only for the motorcyclists, hence cameras set up etc when you all rolled by. It was just bad luck for you guys, they may not have pinged any motorcyclists but thought we can get these dudes to justify the costs of us being here.

I wprked with a guy in the city Sat Night that gave out 13 EPA notices and I am positive not one would fail the test. He just EPA every car that was louder than stock. What a joke if you ask me.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
