Epa Inspection Defect... What Now?!?!

[mass_iv]

shit man that sounds bad, my last defect was carried out by the rta also, but they still ticked a box, and all i did was take it to a mate of mine and he cleared it i didnt even touch the car, LOL....

sounds like u need to return it to stock form and get EPA to check it all over, thing is they will be very picky, they will check your car over and over, not only for the written defects, so make sure ur car is stock.

[mass_iv]

actually come to think of it, y dont u get an engineers cerytificate!!! try that, so long as the car meets the rules u may be able to get a certificate..

[DarKZer0]

how would I go about getting an engineers certificate?

[mass_iv]

you have to find an engineer that will be willing to engineer ur car, send a pm to "MYSTR33" i think it was, he had a defect at the same time as me at the start of the year, got it cleared through an engineer...

[Nozila]

his running a rb25 in a r32. does the epa notice/pick on this matter?

[mass_iv]

ooowwww i didnt realise that actually, i think the best thing to do is try an engineer, this way in the future u wont get hastled

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

the defect is not on the R32. R32 i got with the RB25 in it from factory. This defect is on the R34 GTT.

Does engineering cost anything?

[mass_iv]

yeh engineering costs a fair bit, just need to find the right one though, some are like $800 and others are more...

The best idea is to stick a high flow cat on, besides you dont really lose that many Kw with one on.... comparing the lost in kw (f-all) with a cat on and the shit you'll get into when you get caught without one... I know which I'd pick. I dont understand why people worry so bloody much about little pissy things like a Cat convertor.... get a decent ball bearing turbo, boost the bugger up and that'll more than make up for the lost in power with a catty on.

[DarKZer0]

another thing is guys...

it seems the defect was not even recorded as I noticed i got a blue slip Defect and also the yellow copy of it as well ... don't they keep the yellow copy so they can enter it into the system?!?!?!

I really need to know if this actually means that its not in the systems

[E_Lu-SHuN]

no they give you a blue copy and a yellow copy...they will certainly have it on there database

[mass_iv]

yeh, the yellow copy is urs to keep once u have cleared it for record purposes....
