haha thanks heaps Jeff...ye that was me who bought that one. Ive got a stock cat and an airbox. ill put that in soon. Ill try and go to cambelltown too. Do they give you an option? also do you think my fuel pump will get done..its an external one and quite whiny?

Cheers,

Anton

lucky you found one, just remember that the gtst muffler will be quieter! (will need some cutting and rewelding to make it fit though, no biggie)

if you havent already, these mob do great prices on shipping things over (www.transdirect.com.au)

I went to granville so not sure how strict the campbelltown one is but its up to you where you take it

wtf :S is that even possible?

yep sure is

public can complain about the noise, enough complaints results to a notice being sent out to you.

or a cop can note your rego down and send one out.

sucks but thats life nowadays

that sucks, so any asshair off the street can ring up and complain about a car and force the owner to get this test done, just cos they think its noisy? its basically a bill for at least $60 and a lot of fking around

yes

i think thats how i got mine a while back. i leave for work early in the morning (7am) and while warming the car up, it wouldve certainly woken up a few people in our building and next door's from the rumbling and moan of the rb26

imagine getting that every weekday

This is how I was given one.

You can actually find out where the complaint came from by calling the DECC officer on your notice....

And I personally went to campbelltown. Very fair.

Still a massive pain in the backside though!!

I was also given a DECC notice for exhaust loudness and emissions test but no defect when I was pulled over at 7am driving to work :bunny:

I am changing my exhaust back to stock and have already changed the pod back to the original box.

Sorry to hijack but I have a few questions as well and though i would post it in here.

My questions are:

- Do I need a snorkel fitted as well?

- Do I need to remove the front mount intercooler and put the stock sidemount on?

- Do I need to remove my Apexi AVCR solenoid?

- Do they check other things on the car such as ride height of the car etc?

- I'm thinking of going to the inspection place at Rosebay in North Sydney, has anyone been there? What are the people there like?

Thanks guys

- Yep

- Yep

- Yep, i would

- just the exhaust noise level (must be under 90db at 4800rpm) and emissions gear (charcoal canister, stock cat, stock bov, stock smic/piping, stock airbox/snorkel)

- I went to the campbelltown one, they seemed pretty good

    • Big claims here.  Any links up on the website ?   
    • If your HP goal is reasonable and you are not drifting. Buy a new R34 box.  If the above is not true, buy a wrecked R33 box and put a gearset in it.  CD09 are not as strong as you think and the cost of / mess around of the conversion puts you in gearset territory.    Also the deal above is awesome,, get that  
    • Just got back from a little hands-on with a G58 Baron....I was thinking about this... ..best I can figure it, that pinny was tail-ended ...I didn't really think about the wiring, because all that mattered was the tank and pump cradle (I think I mentioned the pump itself I couldn't vouch for)...which didn't matter, as you said you'd be replacing the pump anyway.... ...'for some reason'....and I imagine this is the panel shop's doing... they've replaced the cradle wiring with a metre of 7-core trailer loom, and attached the loom plug (from a different car) to that. The actual cable run from the top of the pump cradle, to fuel pump harness end in boot, is maybe 60cm in length...so I've no idea why they did this... ....the connector in the boot of the pinny, is not going to help you here...because in theory, it should still be present on your car. On top of that, because they've done what they did, we have no idea which colours of the trailer cabling, have been connected to what on the fuel pump cradle (pump +/- , shield, fuel guage/low-level senders)... ...this means, best approach is to remove the pump cradle, and re-work it now ...not later. That is, if you were going to replace the pump, do it, replace the soft lines at the same time...and sort the wiring out (replace that trailer cable with the wiring loom off your old cradle)...
    • Well, maybe not. The main feature of Chinese manufacture seems to be incredibly variable quality, coupled with an apparent willingness to find a way to see even the stuff that fails QC. So the military could still take the cream of the production run and somehow sell the "sellable but not really useable" stuff to the stupid round eyes on the other side of the world.
    • Have you adjusted the clutch pedal rod? You can wind it in to shorten it. Just can be a cnut to get to.
