did you get done for noisy exhaust ? was it on showground road a few weeks ago ? did they direct you to go for inspection on the spot ? the trick is not to go if they ask you to .

tell them that you are in a hurry and make apointment to go some other time in the mean time you make sure your car will comply .

i was pulled over about a year ago and when they asked me to go around the corner for inspection i told them no i was in a hurry so they ask me to go another time and i fixed my exhaust ( put a flange with a few 15mm holes where the cat joins the the rear pipe )it worked great but no power

Yeap!!! noisy exhaust!!! actually got done at harrys 2/3 months ago.... and yeap... it was an rbt, and they then asked me to go around the corner to an epa/rta setup up where both parties went over my car with a fine tooth comb :thumbsup: If i'd know i could just drive away saying i was in a hurry, i would have! :)

I did get defected the same time last year, but i ended up changing everything back cause it was too restrictive! and then got done again! :(

Anyways... now i'm faced with a court appearance! : at least the car is now legal!

Which court are they taking you to? When is it listed? What is the listing for? ie; mention, hearing, pleading only. Give us the full charges as they have written them.

I'm a Barrister's Clerk so I might be able to help.

pm me for my email address to send more details if you want Moanie.

Just make sure u've got everything planned. I've been to court a fair few times with my brother for car defects n stuff like that. If u go unprepared, they'll come down on u twice as hard. But if u go and show confidence - not too much - then u should be sweet as. They'll try n pull the wool over ur eyes becoz ur a girl....just show em that girls r not just pretty faces ;)

Defected for a second time... thats exactly what i mean! Both times was for air pod and exhaust being too loud!

Your friend must get defected by the cops... ie highway patrol or paddy wagon guys... i got defected - both times - by the rta and epa. The cops pull you over for a random breath test, then ask you to follow them to an rta/epa set up where they will proceed to defect you for anything that is defectable for you car! The first time i was given two infringement notices... the second time (cause it was the second offence) the epa took me to court!

I'm just saying, be careful! If the epa/rta defect you, don't get done by them again!

what happened with your mate? WHat defects? Does he have to go back to the epa for an inspection to get it cleared, or does he just fax something to them?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      UniClutch

      By B-Boi34 · Posted

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
