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.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
