Doesnt matter, maybe in vic its different but. In NSW, my engineer said its tested shut, driven shut, there is nothing they can say. Even if they know its a varex. He said there is no difference in me testing it with that or having a quiet pipe then swapping it at home. Except how fast it can be done. He instructed me when harassed about it to take it to the top as he told others who succeeded.

Thats NSW laws though they smash you's alot harder there.

You engineer doesn't know the legislation.

Here is the real info: http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/viewtop/inforce/subordleg+40+2008+cd+0+N/?autoquery=(Content%3D((%22regulation%202008%22)))%20AND%20((Type%3D%22act%22%20AND%20Repealed%3D%22N%22)%20OR%20(Type%3D%22subordleg%22%20AND%20Repealed%3D%22N%22))&dq=Document%20Types%3D%22Acts,%20Regs%22,%20Exact%20Phrase%3D%22regulation%202008%22,%20Search%20In%3D%22Text%22&fullquery=(((%22regulation%202008%22)))

There's a dual mode muffler fitted factory for the ECR33. If you look at all your R33s you'll notice provisions for the cabling. It's also stated in the workshop manual. So according to the legislation:

"(3) A person is not guilty of an offence under subclause (1) (d) if the temporary noise reduction device:

(a) was fitted by the vehicle manufacturer, or is an equivalent replacement for any such device fitted by the vehicle manufacturer, or"

Does that mean varex is an equivalent replacement dual mode muffler?

it has to be the same which to start with means it would have to be 2.5".

and no doubt since they have to comply to australian standards before it can be registered in aus and adjustable mufflers are illegal here....................

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
