If it was a report by the police, then it should say where your car was when it was witnessed making all this noise.

If it was a report by a disgruntled neighbour, then you just have to live with it, or find some way of exacting revenge :D

Yup it just says that it was making excessive noise, didn't say where. "No action will be taken on this occasion" unless someone reports it again

nah dude thats bullshit, they have to be under a certian decible limit as well however it isnt 90 it is something else i think either 86d8 or 94 db im thinking the 94... oh and trucks can be 100db...

if the environment is in "such" need of being protected from noise why decible figures differ from vehicle to vehicle....???, its the same with older cars they can be louder than newer cars..... its all bullshit...and i for one will not stand for it!

when i aquire some money i will invest it in a new muffler one that can be heard, one that gives every other performance car owner a feeling... a feeling of happiness, a feeling of enjoyment but most of all a feeling of power, a feeling of being above the law, having your car the way you want it who gives a shit about ur elderly neighbours who cars if we scare pedestrians I dont and neither should you....we will do what we want when we want...i have a dream........

im going to keep my quiet muffler and switch them over ever so often.

*** id like to take a minute and remember my old trust exhaust ...full 4 inch pipe with the good old 5 inch tip id belted out 108 db ...that lasted about 1 month :D ****

thankyou.

I got an epa notice about 2 months ago. It was issued by the police and stated "where" they witnessed the "excessive noise".

I was pissed off because they heard my exhaust in an enclosed area, ie driving down a small road that has shops on both sides [lots of reverb etc], similar to glenferrie road or chapel st, acland st etc. I had given my car [not the current car] some juice [from 40kmh] to speed up after some slow prick held me back for half an hour and thats exactly where some cops were sitting on the side of the road.

My worst luck, having personalised plates they never needed to jump in their car and give chase, they just reported me! Which i didnt know about until about a week later...by mail. bastards.

changed muffler, got compliance notice and sent to epa with :upurs:

I had already measured my car to be 92-93 db [using proper db meter] and there is know way the cops could tell it was over, just a case of the wrong place at the wrong time i guess...

Hey Ait, i'm pretty sure its someone from the public who reported u, most likely a neighbour. i read in either the age or herald sun in the drive section that u can now report cars which u fink are too loud or have too much smoke coming outta its ass. they also posted the number which u should ring up, i fink all u need was the model of car and rego number and where u saw it.

      Honda's hybrid system can be easily scaled up to PHEVs. Series hybrid at low speeds, at higher speeds the engine directly drives the wheels but there can still be some power bled off to charge the battery + the electric motor can still provide parallel assistance too. It's really only a question of will at that point. Toyota's PHEVs are selling incredibly well at the moment because of the flexibility. You can run on EV mode when it makes sense, but if you're planning on doing a long highway drive you can still fire up the gas engine and not have to worry about dealing with the rather miserable state of public charging infrastructure.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.

      Do you think they'll merge there performance divisions and we'll end up HoMo?

      Very true, if buying new, I would not get an PP either. Minimum is an Elite 2500, which is also considered outdated. Get something that supports DBW, delete that cable throttle. Best thing I've ever done to the Skyline, next best is refreshing the A/C with a new condenser. It's cold, but not as cold as modern car, but colder than most 90s JDM shit boxes imported into Australia.

      Haltech have a nice comparison table between the Elite and Nexus models -  https://www.haltech.com/ecu-buyers-guide/ In general, the Nexus is better. Haltech have some nice product videos on their YouTube page, I'd have a look at those and if you're still not confident what way to go, I'd give them a call. They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out.
