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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
