hi there, doesnt look good 4 the dr, need an emission test done and dont like my chances. ne 1 got ne lil tricks to aid in gettin car 2 pass emission test ? im thinkin compliance cat, plumb evry thing back and go bak 2 stok injectors with a lean tune ? maybe tune on e85 (if i can find it ) ne thing else?

also ne 1 been to campletown inspection station ? are these guys ok ?

cheers

harry

solid tune with a working cat and all your emissions gear intact (carbon canister, pcv valve and valve cover breathers) you should be fine.

take it somewhere (performance shop) and get them to tune it again to pass an emissions test, most tuners will know what to do.

need to give us more info to answer your question dude.

lol i cant stand ppl who just ask questions without supplying any info!

what engine is it?

what modifications?

what engine management?

how much boost?

how much power?

etc...

ok sorry no worries its 25 headed 30, high mount billet sgt-3 .7 a/r 82 rear 4 inch inlet. gtr inlet welded onto 25 runners. stock throttloe bodie.

microgues lt 12s with x6 ign. running falco coil. 740cc inj

e boost

296kw @ 12psi.

pcv is hooked up. gate is plumbed bak. blow off vavle removed. rocker breather s go to a catch can then back into turbo intake ? and i have a charcoal canister of an s13 , thinkin i should get 1 from a rb30 31 or 33 rb25 ? not sure but

cheers

yeh im not sure about the carbon canister...

Don't know f**k all about them., but yeh your PCV system and breathers are hooked up correctly.

do you have a good cat converter? <-- this is the important part - get a euro 2 or above and youl shit it in with an RB30.

Dunno if you know but emissions standards are dependent on the year of engine manufacture, so your original RB30 (im assuming its from an R31/30?) will be rated against 1980s emissions standards, which aren't that tight at all...

But defs try get it re-tuned bullshit stock/conservative and see how you go, maybe even E85 if you get desperate.

only problem i can see is those injectors are too big to be controlled at small revs, so you'l prob end up running rich, and in the test, it only simulates everyday nanna driving, i.e. under 4k rpm, and youl hardly go into boost at all. you might need to go back to your stock injectors (or smaller) just to pass the test then whack em back in after.

moral of the story: talk to a tuner in regards to an emissions test. they'll know what to do...

Good luck bud

thanks man, yea the tuners wat got me worried he not all that confident... thats why im afta a few tips/tricks

i heard u can pull wastegate spring out and itl run f all boost ?

supposively the 80s emissions standards changed in 84, the cars an 84, but motor is 86

ive manged to source na injectors that ill slot in 4 the test.

sorry but wat is a euro 2 type cat ? its got a catco on it wich is new but im lookin to change to a standard cat off like a commodore or falcon ?

cheers man, im loosin so much sleep overthis crap,

as for 'tricks' go there are a few things i know of which are 1. restrict your exhaust with a flange that has a 2" hole or a series of smaller holes drilled into it and 2. putting loads of steel wool behind the cat.

'Euro' is an emissions rating. Short for European emissions standards. Pretty much a set of rules that governs the acceptable exhaust emissions, the newer the car, the stricter the emissions standards they have to comply with.

I.E. 'euro 1' was 1992 - 1996, '2' was 96 - 2000, '3' was 00 - 05 etc... were up to euro 5 that started in September.

Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_emis..._passenger_cars

Before 1992 they just had a different emissions scheme, and I'm pretty sure it only regulated the amount of carbon monoxide, whereas euro regulates the amount of CO, Hyrdocarbon, particulate matter (unburnt fuel), Nitrogen oxide, and combined carbons.

So in this respect, your very lucky cos you do't have to pass bullshit strict laws like the rest of us (me with a 2003 manufactured engine = :) ).

I reckon if your cat was bought from a decent exhaust shop and has less than 100,000 kms on it, it'll do the job for your car, odds are if you purchased the cat through a decent dealer, it's euro compliant, be it 1, 2, 3 or whatever.

ive manged to source na injectors that ill slot in 4 the test.

Don't just chuck them in, you'll need to get them tuned, cos the ECU will still be opening and closing them like they're bigger ones and you'll run like shit. Don't just take off the wastegate actuator either, cos you'll run bullshit rich, your carbon level will go through the roof and you'll fail with flying colours so to speak...

Wat I reckon to do is put the stock injectors in, and get a conservative tune until they almost max out (what ever boost pressure that is), and make sure all your engine vitals are in order (clean catch can, fresh/newish sparkplugs, good oil level, good coilpacks etc...)

Oh and what 'security' said, the steel wool works a treat, captures all the soot and shit, so less comes out the tail pipe. just don't put it too close to your engine, cos there's a risk you can ingest some of it back into your engine!

Hope it goes all good for ya man, I know how much of a flamin mongrel these tests are...

Thought of the day: The total amount of cars' emissions in the world, only account for 3 f**king % of the total carbon output into the atmosphere per year. NATURAL volcanoes account for around 5%... So next time the Government/Media tries to blame carbon emissions contributing to global warming on average Joe and Jane citizen like you and I, with their 2 cars and average house, tell them to f**k off. Cos its the coal burning, oil burning factories and large scale manufacturing that's doing the damage...

guy at waminda does decc inspections...ie noise and mods to anything that may change your emmissions. i had to have stock eveything, except my 3.5in exhaust past. 89.94db, max is 90 for r32. standard intercooler(not even return flow), pod, and your airbox has to have a snorkel or he'll knock you back...i just passed it last friday. not sure about what he'll have to say about bigger turbo though.

Edited by roadworia
Are your sure its an emissions test at Campbelltown?

Normally the guy on Waminda Ave is checking the DECC stuff - like exhuast mods/PODs, but not actually testing your emissions....

yea na my mistake, sorry i got confused botany was the 1

as for 'tricks' go there are a few things i know of which are 1. restrict your exhaust with a flange that has a 2" hole or a series of smaller holes drilled into it and 2. putting loads of steel wool behind the cat.

beatiful, thanks !

thanks all 4 the responses

ill be tryin out those lil tricks this weekend, it does make me feel a bit more confident knowing my car/ motor only needs to comply with a fairly reasonable limint compared to late model cars, i have gotton 2 differernt gas limitrs 1 from rta an 1 from hit man (thanks craved )

both same bar hydro carbons ?

hitman : thc 2.1

nox 1.9

co 24.2

rta thc 1.75

nox 1.9

co 24.2

im guessin the test at botany and penrith would be exactly the same ?

car will be fully returned to suit the injectors and wat ever else needs to be done , suxs but, its the worst time in the year to get this crap don, tuners not lookin good 4 3 weeks, and its still a maybe from him, my fingers are crossed!\

if i win the lotto ill be sending it 2 hit,man.

the whole exercise is a massive burn, but/ if it does pass itl be all worth it.

on a good note i have solved my sleeping problem, i just drink till i pass out...

Just went through same. I dont have a microguess, so maybe thats where I differ

Just passed but could have done more if required, I agree, this shyte cuased me to take like 3 effen days off work, just to go and fail, go and fail, go and pass!!!!

f*k thats 3rd time lcky !, wat computer u using ? i thoought if it came to it i could wire in a stok 33 computer. rather not but.

this whole exercise is a massive burn.

    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...  
    • There's nothing that some paddle pop sticks and extra cable ties can't fix.
    • Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy
    • F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE    
    • I actually have an aftermarket hanger, the detschwerks x1 hanger, but my dw420 has never really sat in it correctly, good to know I can just modify it a bit to suit. Yeah cheers man will definitely have a play with it and hope it solves my dramas.
