Clearing A Defect

[R34NRG]

Anyone with some common sense would say that and also mean it in real life off the forums as well.

tru tru, but anyone with half a brain would know his only screwing around.....

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'.

It says no pods on carburetted vehicles....You'll find an RB20/25 is EFI....

Dry element pod type air cleaners are

permitted on EFI vehicles.

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.

Where does that not give the all clear for an intercooler?

So getting back to your points... none of which were in your quoting of the rules

So, can you link/quote where it says all of the stuff you claimed to be illegal?

[sky^rkt]

bah honestly all i have read in this thread is back and forth of bitching and legal shit. just answer the bloody question who makes the box and thats it jebus ?:S

[Rekin]

Dont trust burwood, thats where I got my car registered. Some old fat bloke was giving me a hard time, as my RWC cert had stock rims written and I had 17's on. He said the tyre brand didnt match the RWC ~_~..Also had to remove the GT wing brackets off the bootlid. A person would have to roll over the whole car to touch the brackets, and im sure there is already enough damage caused....

Although this wouldnt have been a problem if we all just upgraded our smics, like i did XD~

topstage can make the box or try this or this

[Do-Luck]

Sat back and watched this thread for farrr too long.

anDru, I have a Topstage CF airbox, and alas, I got defected about a month ago, because i still had 2 intake modifications.

I'm telling you it will NOT pass, unless you get a dodgy RWC, and a VicRoads member of staff that won't inspect the car... Good luck! Imagine if they do inspect the car AND see the pod? The person who issued the RWC could loose their license.

Just do it properly. That is all everyone is trying to say. Simple.

[R31Nismoid]

Just incase anyone missed that part...

that dosnt make sense, so u box it up yet his still able to see the pod?, obviously thats just the most stupid box ive head, reason why im getting a box(and a million others) is so that u cant see the pod.

i would like to see your setup because if its still being defected its being done wrong, i have a bunch of mates who have boxed theirs up and never EVER been defected.

just incase you missed all that nismoid i shall also send you a "larger" version.

[allblitz]

This is fascinating stuff, maybe another 4 more pages and we might get somewhere

[R31Nismoid]

It does make sense.

There is a POD underneath the box... i mean, you might aswell stick a "captain obvious" stick on the airbox.

Dont bother arguing the point, its still illegal, you can still be pinned for it, so its not wrong at all.

Whats wrong is your inability to accept the fact that your as wrong as it comes

[R34NRG]

ahhahahah okai nismoid, you got a point i shuodnt bother arguing anymore, because i have a box and its LEGAL. dont care wat you gotta say cuz thats all that counts....its LEGAL. and anyone who wants a cheap and effective way of clearing a defect + a few lil kws, will do the same.

so i guess that pretty much ends it, oh and just to let you know nismoid, uve been spamming this thread since day one because you have not answered the one main question in this thred, which was who make air boxes.

have a good nite everyone, and say hi if u see me on the road give us a honk cuz its legal biatch lol

lol

how is it legal when you have a pod and a FMIC?

it only takes 2 seconds to open a very suss looking carbon fibre airbox, and then, hey presto, a pod filter.

you will get dicked again, so why bother?

only a moron such as yourself would believe that there is a standard airbox and panel filter under that heatshield...

It is illegal. You are a moron.

These are the facts, and they are undisputed.

[M34N]

The law clearly states that you can only have ONE intake modification.

This CF air box is a modification, and you already have a FMIC. That is TWO intake modifications you have.

How is that legal? If it's not standard, then it's a modification.

However, if what you're arguing is that you won't get caught, well that's a different story. It still doesn't make it legal because you hid it, no matter how you spin it. The law is clear on this and if you get a smart cop pull you over, then you're back to square one. Just make it legal from the start for what the effort's worth, it could save you time/money in the future.

Sherwin from Chasers Motoworks makes pretty good perspex airboxes, not so sure about carbon firbe.

He's made some pretty crazy ones for r33's and evo's. Give them a buzz and see if they can help your case.

good luck

in summary:

IT IS ILLEGAL!!!

Mine is slightly different, as I don't have an Air Flow Meter to join it up to, but otherwise it's pretty much the same. Just in case you don't understand, I'm running a MAP sensor instead of the AFM . There obviously is a point to it, to keep the warm engine bay air away from the pod filter. If you want to see my setup, mine is the engine bay pic in dezz's F1 photo thread, like the second pic down.

And the fact I got defected, is because it is my 2nd intake modification. Simple. Unless you leave the standard airbox, then you will get done everytime. (Give or take on the cop).

So just pass it with a standard airbox, and get a CF airbox afterwards for a bit of eye candy. It seriously ISN'T that hard. Or is it?

do luck do you run a gutted afm or nothing at all? if not have you ever been done for it?
