Hi! Its no secret that my car is about to head of to its new owner.

I have to get him a RWC etc , all good...

Now i am a bit of a stresser when it comes to imports and RWC's in my local town because they are fairly rare for the area and knowledge is scarce ... I have made the booking for Monday and wondering what alternitives i have other than chasing up original airbox...

it also has a 3.5inch cannon on it that's fairly notey i am a bit worried about aswell?

It shouldnt be a problem as both these mod's have been through complience and 2 roadworthies but that was melbourne!

the rest of the car is totally original

Could anyone comment on how they may have got passed this?

play innocent? Most places that do a RWC will give you some things to fix up, then issue you the cert once you fix it up, so rock up with the pod, if they don't notice it you won't have to fix it :ninja:

1 intake mod is allowed in vic, so it should pass, as long as you dont have a fmic.

my car passed a road worthy with a pod, but the old owner had to get it so it could have been a dodgy.

PS is anyone elses quick reply and quote buttons not working?

can anyone verify that on gtst if u have a fmic can u have a pod aswell if u have it in a box?

This has already been asnwered in this thread.

VicRoads + RWC testers don't care a whole lot about intake mods, it's EPA that you need to worry about.

...and a pod is a pod, it doesn't matter if it's in a box or not, it's still classified as an intake mod.

actually you are allowed a POD, however the filter has to be the kind that is non oiled.

HKS filters are legal because they are a dry element. K&N filters on the other hand which require oiling are illegal.

Check out vicroads and read up on it. You wont have any problems passing with the Pod filters.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
