The problem isn't the pod, but the fact that there is 2 intake mods...i.e a pod is fine (so long as its not an oiled element IIRC), and a front mount on a car that didn't come from the factory with one is fine, but a pod and a fmic isn't...

If you were to put a pod on an Evo 8 for example, it's only 1 intake mod (as they have a front mount standard) and is therefor legal

Its illegal.

Read the EPA thread, which just so happens to be s sticky thread aswell.

Surprise :sorcerer:

So end of the day, if you do get a RWC, you could be put off the road as soon as you leave VicRoads

andru has organised a roadworthy, a legit one, we've (me and andrew) have asked the guy if a custom airbox will be legit and he told us it would be, as long as its boxed up.

In the end I have found that whats legal and what they will clear are two different things. The fact remains that 2 intake mods are illegal and even if it gets cleared this time, any TMU cop who picks andru up next time will defect him for the exact same thing. In saying that I suggest you try Burwood VicRoads :wave: to get the defect cleared, they are.................sympathetic. Particularly around closing time on a Friday.

Good Luck

wow man cry me a river....damnnn....chill out man......dont have to get all serious lol, listen mate all u have been doing is giving me answers to questions i havnt asked, i asked for a air box maker, not about wether its legal or not.....im sorry if ive offended you in any way JVP lol.....

i can read mate, but i can also ignore :wave:

lol

that last comment pretty much sums up whats going on here.

you ignore the information given to you.

Actually no, you said you wanted one to clear a defect. You cant actually clear a defect with one... which is what people are trying to inform you.

But as usual, your more interested in spamming posts and not reading

couldnt have made it any clearer.

Okay. how about i do you a deal then.

I'll just ban you. Then we never have to see another muppet thread of yours again?

lol

that would be good.

Jesus titty f**king.

Regardless of anDru being a retarded git pull your f**king heads in. You know it will pass even if it's not technically legal. He actually asked a pretty simple question which only required a simple answer, nothing more. I am so sick of people jumping on their high horse and pointing out useless bullshit when they know for a fact their own cars have umpteen illegal modifications.

Why aren't you all posting up a storm in every thread that mentions illegal modifications? Where's your righteous fury in the cosmetic mods section? The business traders section? Just STFU.

Cutting the back out of the snorkal - modification

Different Intercooler - modification

Different pipes - modification

Redirecting pipes - modification

Non-paper filter - modification

See the problem? Technically any of the popular FMIC kits are not legal and yet SHOCK f**kING HORROR will pass roadworthy.

Please do.

Then im gonna send it to the EPA just for shits and giggles.

The above are actually legal. Save for an oiled filted which is also clearly listed as unapproved. (only one ive removed was chopping a snorkel)

The only issues listed are the I/C & Pod in combination. The piping is not flagged as an issue, nor is a panel filter so long as its not oil.

So all of whats listed up there is actually 100% legal in the eyes of VicRoads & the EPA, so in actual fact, its not problem at all.

Thats all "technically" speaking of course, seeing as though you wanna get into technicallities.

Make sure you do your homework kiddies :dry:

(a) Open element or pod type air cleaners on

carburetted vehicles are not permitted.

(b) Dry element pod type air cleaners are

permitted on EFI vehicles. Oiled, oil-soaked or

fluid-treated elements are not permitted. Any

sensors integral to the original system must

be retrofitted to the same approximate

location.

© Intercoolers that are larger than standard or

have a different mounting location or are

added where none were originally fitted, are

permitted only if no other changes to the

intake system have been made. In other

words, you may have a pod filter or

modified/added intercooler, but not both.

Any sensors integral to the original intercooler

or intake system must be retrofitted and be in

the correct location.

Note: aftermarket turbocharging kits that

include intercoolers that have been type

tested (ADR certified) for the model vehicle

are permitted. Documentary proof must be

retained to substantiate this.

(d) Airflow meters must not be disconnected.

They may be relocated, provided they are

functionally equivalent and are in the same

approximate location.

(e) Modified or aftermarket plenum chambers or

throttle bodies are not permitted.

Grey enough to get a roadworthy and a defect. It definately does not give the all clear for any intercooler set-up as long as you don't have a pod. I think their use of 'pod' was misplaced and should have been 'Open element'.

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.

      Final thought for now. Obviously the reason I was in there was to check everything is OK cooling wise, pull out the radiator to flush it etc, but I have to say the factory has done a hell of a lot of thinking about air management in a way they never did back in the R chassis days. The Redsport/400rs have (from engine forward) 2 large shrouded fans - radiator (incl AT cooler) - AC condenser - Intercooler Heat Exchanger and Oil cooler. There are shrouds and foam around everything to keep it pretty well sealed, which is good in that they have it sorted from factory, and bad in that I can't make any meaningful improvements there. The second red sport pump water pump is mounted in front of the rad in the airflow, so I will see if there is somewhere else I can stash that (unlikely, it is tight in there). The horns which are also in the rad airflow will be moved somewhere else, and hey who needs 2 when 1 would work For track days, I can also remove the lights which would block some airflow. Factory has already taken the smart option of ducting all air that went through the oil cooler down and out of the engine bay. This pic is taken from below looking up, so air comes through the cooler at the top of the pic then hits the shroud and is directed down and out of the engine bay through the engine bay lower cover Which of course is good for oil temps, but doesn't help the rad as it diverts 10-20% of airflow away So, no big improvements to be made here, I'll flush the rad out and put it all back together.....

      Next..... That escalated quicker than an Elon and Donald break up! I'll post up a specific DIY for radiator removal on these, but all I'm saying is that if you get a workshop to change your radiator for any reason and they give you a $1000 bill for it, go and hug them and thank them for not charging all the hours it took.....what a bastard of a job. I'll make some adjustments as I put it all back for faster access in the future, but it was a nightmare.
