Totally agree - It's utterly ridiculous. But one must work within the confines, it's easy enough to do if you go about it smartly from the outset.

Totally agrees with this comment. :thumbsup: As I have been attacked by the EPA 3x times. pinch.gif twice I have had to visit the 'Vicroads' centre with a stock exhaust fitted, after a noise test. Got a on the spot fine once from a 'Toggy' after he pulled up behind my car whilst I was in a shop. He took off then sent me a $600> fine in the mail. :pirate: I keep my stock gear for this very reason!

On other note. I go have a chat with the 'mechanic' about fuel pressure for 17 PSI.

Thanks mate.

oh, to beat the quick unplug afm test, possibly run half the injectors or coils looping through the afm wiring?

that would get them a little...

maybe...

Good thinking, if not just use the 'fake/un-used' wiring from the AFM's plug back to the ECU, as a loop back to the ECU loom to tap into injector pulse wire or something. Make sure you read the wiring diagram twice!

Sorry dude but you don't know what you are talking about with regards to what happens down here and it's not as simple as you make it out.

The EPA will unplug the AFM, it's a 30sec check to tell them if you have an aftermarket ECU or not. They are not stupid down here unfortunately.

If the AFM unplug doesn't work, then they will look closer at things like injectors (colour of tops), and even open up the ECU case. I've had them open up the case on my ECU as the consult port wasn't working, which they can also plug into.

wow wee!!!

you seriously saying they are up to that kinda shit there? its really that bad????

I would have fun with these guys... Id just chip tune the stock ecu and not even use a socket, put it directly on the board...

what a way to get pulled over... "excuse me sir, is this a 16 or 32 bit eprom?" AHA! thats a writable eprom, here is a 1000$ fine buddy.

create something that goes through the dummy AFM, so when its unplugged the engine loses ignition power.

WTF!!! :blink:

Honestly I would spend the mo st and get a haltech or vipec, something to consider with a power fc is that it costs about 900, but you want more power later on then you have to spend 600-900 getting new afm.....

For the same price straight up you can get a much better ecu that uses a decent map sensor, has 32x32 mapping, much better features and upgradable firmware

I'll be looking into these 'Haltech' ECU's seem to have a lot more functions than the 'Apexi' or 'Nistune' ECU's. Direct plug and play replacement of the OEM ECU, no re-wiring necessary.

http://www.haltech.com/store/index.php/platinum-pro-plug-in-nissan-r32-33-skyline-kit.html - $1995 + $20 postage

Thanks.

Powerfc or remap the std ecu, a nistune remap would probably be the best option for your budget and application $850 from most places drive in drive out.. i personally am happy to use nistunes on gtrs up to around 450-460rwkw mark.

We do plenty of big hp cars with Nistune remaps which sail through epa inspections so im sure any other shop can do the same.

      I run 2 x 525 pumps on factory 8mm fuel lines     ... zero issues, staged of course    Your setup should work fine, all you need to do is find the restriction. A good aftermarket fuel regulator is always a good idea too. If it's not your regulator i'd be suspicious of your fuel tank breather and your tank pressurising. Next would be something with the fuel hat. Then blow out the fuel lines.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars- 180sx and S15

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Update time...... Been a crazy busy time and a bit of a change here. Sold my 370z Nismo as wasn't using it much and wanting a 86/brz so wife can have some fun at the track again also to help with funding the s15 build.  As said last time booked a cruise to NZ. The place is great, drank lots of craft beer, eat food and visited some amazing places   The plains of rohan Before we left I finally got an electrician booked and the shed now has power. Been so good being able to use it at night and not running things off a 20m extension lead. Got stuck in last weekend and reorganised it and cleaned up a lot of stuff. A few more things to tidy over time but really good to work on now. There's 13x 10a GPO, 3x 15a GPO, 4 high bay lights and 5 LED batons so will never have an issue seeing or powering tools. 437344198_7178721088892834_15829362501196293_n.mp4   Work has restarted on the s15. Removed the rear cradle so could pull the fuel tank and finish emptying the stale e85 thats now been sitting for almost 4 years 🤮 Cleaned it out and let it dry. Removed the old lift pump and have reinstalled a new lower pressure pierburg pump with all new hose and lowered the pump to get it nice and low in the sump of the tank. Also got a an old diff cover cleaned up, work has a soda blaster so made quick work of it. Going to put a 4.11 ratio diff in with a fresh rebuild thats been reshimmed for now before buying a good diff centre. And had a big change with going back to full time work. Opportunity came up to apply for a race mechanic job so applied and got it, been some big days so far but definitely enjoying it and getting to work on some cool stuff and with some great equipment. Learning a lot on proper car setup and suspension so will be valuable for the s15. I'll be part of the travelling team form next round too. This weekend will get the fuel tank and system in, need to buy a rollover valve and mount that. Get cradle in with the diff and axles then make a shopping list to buy to finish that off then start looking at cooling setup and plan intercooler pipe routing. Work will definitely be slow now on the car but will be to a higher standard.  The 180sx hasn't sold so may be heading out to Morgan Park labour day weekend for a charity event to have some fun been almost 6 months since I've driven it so will be take time to get comfortable again.

      I'll rent a fuel pressure tester soon and report back.

      It has a separate fused 10ga wire running from the battery to the relay in the trunk. 10ga on the ground also.

      Actually I did the fuel pump rewire 2 days after the issues started. Grinded away the paint and grounded it to the chassis behind the right panel in the trunk.
