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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
