The driver I imagine...it's not illegal to install on a street car. Drive the car on the road and it's a different story.

But a cop is getting desperate for EPA revenue if he's sitting outside RE customs with a roll of canaries waiting to pounce.

Unless you like to show off the Apexi logo on your PFC, just bolt the nissan OEM ECU faceplate onto it

most cops will be none the wiser as long as you dont have the handcontroller plugged into it

yeh someone told me u can fir the stock ecu plate on it but its a tight fit, yeh i think only the hand controller wud give it away. but wud b funny trying to unplug ur stuff and hiding it wen u get pulled over, seeing as cops see everything :)

don;t drive with a hand controller plugged in

do you tune your car while driving to have it sitting out on the dash? or plugged in at all?

The only reason you'd need a controller is to tune the car or watch the temps and stuff.

I wouldnt be surprised if something like that hapened though, the government does want that import owner's money

No they won't.

It will hurt small business.

The way it is - leaving as is. Wait till they leave, rather than be discouraging out the front :action-smiley-069:

Business gets their money, then the Gov't rapes you after it's all done with its archaic laws for money a week, month down the track.

If they cut it from the start there would be less overall.

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
