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.

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.

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 used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      R33 fuel setup

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
