I was driving home one night and the cops pulled me over and his excuse was that he heard my BOV.

He took photos of my exhaust, BOV and filter.

Today i received a letter from the EPA to take my car in for inspection.

Before my car is inspected I have to put my stock exhaust, filter and BOV back on.

Not Happy.

Did anyone else experience this??

Cheers

As long as you pass the noise level of 90dba your exhaust should be fine as long as you are running a cat. Get rid of the BOV if it is external. Also, you are allowed 1 mod to your intake, so if you have a air pod and not an aftermarket intercooler you should be fine.

Well thats my experience anyway.

air pods are not permited sorry, exhausts are fine as long as you have engineer papers, and anything that changes the fuel ratio of your engine will fail your test, eg cams, computer, injectors, stuf like that.

      KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?

      Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all

      LandCruiser used to get a fluid flush every 12 to 18 months.   Only because it was about that often the electric motor on the master for brake assist kept dieing and needing to come off.
