I got a 500 dollar fine from a 'raid' when police patrolled the streets and made every car that sounded 'loud' come into a testing area with an EPA guy who then (as he told me) did every single car bar one for too loud and gave us all 500 dollar fines. Ironically the car before me was a bog stock Subaru Liberty with an aftermarket muffler lol. Couldn't believe that you could get slugged that fast like that. The testing officer's reason for the testing was 'the caravan park owners had complained'. Which is why I don't have much time for Vic Police / EPA, especially when other shit like p plater wogs driving HSV/SS/XR6T seem to get away with it for months and months on end.

unless something has changed dont you want to get below 90db to clear epa? sounds like u need to buy a stock exhaust or make urs quieter.

not meaning to be offensive man, and I use the term 'wog' without trying to be racist, but it is young men of Italian descent in said HSV/FPV/XR6T cars WITH P plates on that blatantly flout the law rather than drive something a P plater is allowed to drive and getting away with it when full licenced law abiding types get BS fines and harassment over nothing for simply driving something that sticks out.

When I got EPA'd, I just got a full 5Zigen JASMA spec catback - no noticable loss of power (two straight through mufflers), and quiet enough to be quieter than the engine noise lol.

Well from what I've read, a JASMA stamped exhaust is meant to be under 92db - mine is 3" into a 4-5" tip. That said I've heard a Kakimoto Full Mega N1(i think), which got on 90db and listening to it at idle you'd think there was no way it could pass!

That's interesting I always thought sound was linear :blink:

I always wondered what the JASMA meant, thought it was a brand of some sort lol. Mine does go into a 5 inch tip after the 3.5inch piping.

f*kkin Lol @ at young men of Italian decent. Yeah that's heaps better mate. Glad you got done. SUCK IT UP and stop not meaning to be racist casue some people might get offended and think you're a buck toothed red neck and that just wouldn't be right.

Pretty sure a fair demographic of races buy things that are stamped hsv or fpv.

I don't see it as an offensive term by itself Smitzen, like calling someone a 'yank' or a 'pom' or a 'kiwi'. FYI, I was mentioning my own frustrations at these people who so blatantly flout the law on power restrictions, and get away with it whom ARE ALL OF ITALIAN DESCENT, NOT ANGLO. It's not a generalisation, I can think off the top of my head 6-7 Clubsport/Force 6/SS's which are driven by these guys, mostly on red P's.

It's been going on for a long time when everyone else is trying to dodge defects or harassment for parking in public car parks minding our own business, or getting BS EPA fines.

Please refer me back to the part where I said every HSV/FPV owner was from one particular ethnic group or the part where I made a sweeping comment, or said something hateful about said ethnic group.

It would be like me saying for example 'bogans', 'mexicans' or any other particular subsection of society, re read my original comment, it wasn't a racial or ethnic attack so STFU, or write a letter to the Hun crying to all the other people of similar intelligence to yourself about it.

ANYWAY

Yeah I get what you're on about Ash, isn't it exponential, or logarithmic or something (can't remember the exact term. I haven't had mine tested but I'm pretty confident it would pass a noise test with no problems.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.

      I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon.

      All of them are missing. You do not get much done with just AND, OR and NOT unfortunately. Ecumaster for example has a text based editor with at least 60+ math and logic instructions.
