On the way home from work, got pull over cause my blow off valve was too loud by an under-cover cop & recieve a defect note. The undercover cop told me that my exhaust noisy, air filter & blow off valve was NOT standard. Pictures was taken during the process for evidence. And that I have to attend EPA test (Lidcombe) blah RTA blah blah BLUE SLIP.

Have anyone gone through this trouble and can advice what should I do next? I got rid off all my stock parts. Can anyone let me borrow they stock BOV or air filter?

Thanks.

remove the blow-off valve and plug the hole for the test, box up your pod filter, make sure your exhuast is not noisy and has a cat(go to an exhuast shop that has a DB meter). The guy at Lidcombe last time I was there ( got sent there with my wrx which had major mods) was a pretty nice bloke actually.

Lidcombe EPA is differen't to the RTA ,Lidcombe EPA doesn't have an emission tester they only test for noise.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      The nissan manual says to change coolant every 2 years. Is this still necessary if you're using coolant like Penrite or nulon which has improved over the years? It says it lasts 500,000km which seems hard to believe lol.

      Nismo rear spats

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      According to the Muse website, totally different material. The originals were that horrible solid foam rubber that was used for a lot of rear spoiler/flap things, like on Mitsu Galan GSRs. Heavy, and with enough compressibility/flex that any paint on them would crack fairly quickly. The Muse ones are just ABS, which is obviously similar to GTR lower front lip, etc etc. ABS is a good choice if you have the ability to tool up for it. The only thing better might be TPU-RIM or something equivalent. The TPUs were good. Plenty of flexibility (in twisting, bending, etc) but not really in compression.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Update 24/01/2025:    Bought a GReddy/Trust Intercooler (crossflow spec-LS) that was meant for a R33 GTST $871 AUD shipped, and a GReddy Profec boost controller $483 AUD, both brand new from Japan. Being honest, I would've thought the intercooler kit was discontinued but I guess not yet. Decided due to funds + time, I'll stick with a nistune on this stock-ish setup ( stock turbo set to probably 10-12psi ) and have it run cleaner ( suspect the 3" turbo back etc has sh*tted on my economy ) for my trip down south soon for the WSBK. Hopefully I can get it all installed and tuned by then. As for who I am getting it tuned with, I will be going with Toshi, (not hearing back from DVS so scratch that). There is also Birrong Auto but not sure if they do nistune installations and if they even tune it... Otherwise, anyone know where I can get my hands on an aluminium intake/suction pipe for an RB25DET NEO?

      My BMW 335i

      The german cars I've worked on seem to have that issue(in more than just headlights). Mostly where hot, but also just the insulation hardening and cracking in various places. Not abnormal from what ive seen.

      According to the Muse website, similar material, but not the same. Meant to help with stopping the paint cracking. In saying that, I had genuine ones on my last grt, and never had that problem.   Could you post pics when you get them? Very much thinking of buying the Muse ones over fibreglass.
