Permits for Pod Filters

[EVL R33]

Hey guys and gals,

Who here in Perth has a permit for a pod filter? How did you get it, who gave it to ya and what's their number??

Cheers

I thought you got the permits from the Pits. You could get a engineer to sign off on the modification.

[adam 32]

yep at the pits

get a modification form and fill it out

pods have to be securely fastened in the engine bay and some arent eligible for permit.

Adam,

So I need to get the pods fitted first and then hope they get passed??? Who can I check with to see if what pods are ok and which ones aren't??

Cheers

Hmmm I have one, but my dealer got the permit for me while he complied the car.... I think it was done at the Pits though....

[adam 32]

brett, what pods were you looking at getting?

ive got a K&N and that passed no worries. just make sure its fixed down with a bracket of somesort. ring up welshpool pits

(centre for permits) and ask them im thinking of putting a pod filter on my car whats the requirements to make it road-legal

unfortunately personal experience can only say that K&Ns are legal but im sure most others are

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I think the filters have to be ADR approved, so most Jap ones won't be legal, but that doesn't mean that you can't get a permit for it.

Well as I said I have a transport department permit for my air pod and its a HKS Mushroom design.... you cant get muich more japenese that that...

Brett,

As I said, they are not technically legal, but it's a pod filer, most of the guys at the pit's couldn't give a rat's ass who made it. I wouldn't bother swapping filters unless you were sure to get knocked back, but I have so many other illegal things I don't want to get a permit for one thing incase they notice all the other illegal things.

See'ya:burnout:

heheee... same for most of us i think

[EVL R33]

I will be needing to upgrade my airbox as it won't flow enough for the goodies I have got, but I want to have it 'legal' before I shell out the dollars for pods...

K&N's could be a go, I was looking at the Trust AirInx pods though they may not get a permit...

I'll give whelshpool a ring.

Cheers

make up an airbox to go around it and i dont think you will ever get a canary when the coppers have a look around. oh yeah also make it SHINY they like SHINY things, commonwhore drivers. if you get a female copper make sure you have flashy lights installed around the air box with sale sign, that should work. Okay okay i am feeling sarcastic at the moment so yeah please ..to the few lovely ladies on here...dont skin me for the above comments. Umm and yeah same goes for any cops among us.

I am in the same boat with the other mods that will get a yellow so why bother with the air pod crew. My car is almost touching the top of the rims (not tyres) so I aint going anywhere near welshpool

cant remember the head guys name over there but he was a top bloke when i tried to licence my car with an aftermarket front bar and east perth gave me a run around. starts with an R i think bugga!!

anyways good look brett with the pods and permits

You must have some serious goodies going on then.

The Mines GTR's have over 600HP and they still use the factory airbox (with a mines panel filter inside).

[adam 32]

its had some 'slight modifications' though

[EVL R33]

rev,

I'm chasing around the 500hp mark, and most guys I talk to tell me the stock box will not handle that... I could always leave it and see, I just put a new K&N Panel filter into it too!!!!! ha ha ha

[Pva_Glue]

well brett just talk to les then, borrow one from the les and go to pit if they will give you permit for it!

cheers

HKS pod passed fine, and got a permit too, i dont think they are too picky, as long as it is fastened properly and not left just hanging loose tied up with cable ties or something.....

that was east perth examination centre...

[Pva_Glue]

I had Blitz metal mesh pod filter...

I got permits for it! the guy said as long as it is sercuered it is fine

Renos the head guy at welshpool.
