I just got the unifilter airbox!

got the pod and box as one

theres a group buy here also - check duncans sig.

As Ive said - Ive had highway patrol look at it and didnt care - he did say though

"Gee's, you are game having that there, wouldnt it catch on fire?"

me - "umm...its actually an airbox and made to resist heat"

him -"oh....right...umm...is that a factory blow off valve"

me - yes :)

and regards to sound and spool - mine with and without the box sounds the same!

Sorry .. Does steering include a aftermarket steering wheel? I.E no air bag?

if your car came with a airbag in the steering wheel as standard, then it is a defect to replace the steering wheel with an aftermarket one

PPL FFS! I freaking searched both sites alright. Reason I made this post is because I am paranoid about losing any points, I have 2 more months to go before I get all my points back so I dont want to risk it. Plz note, one of the guys I spoke to about this was telling me how he LOST his 3 points cos of the pod defect and now he only has 1 point left etc etc. So the first thing I did was search RTA and SAU was second. I dont give 2 toss about the fine as long as I dont lose any points.

Hey... I wasn't having a go at you! I understand where you are coming from! The search engine can be finnicky with what words you use! It was the way others replied to a post.

Anyways if you are after an airbox... check this out... I got one on my car and it is not difficult to modify if you have different intake pipe .. .. I just shaved mine out a little.. The only thing is its cut to suit the small charcoal canisters and not the large ones I have seen on some lines!

ok. basicly anything that is not standard needs to be engineered from a legel standpoint.

and points for decects??? news to me. just like there is no points for driving an unregoed car. just a massive fine. for repeat ofences mayby???? but i t really depends on whos doing the busting. what if its not your car? fines yes, points i dought it. but will check

well thats pretty gay. so they cancel your rego too like they used to?? bastards

Back to the issue at hand, definatley no points for a Pod Filter, it is only a defective equipment ticket for $77 and a Defect Notice (no fine involved with D.N.).

The main issue with a Pod filter is the emission (noise issue) that the filter creates through the system. ie; less restriction as you know on the engine usually transfers as more noise out the back. The best way to tackle the issue of a Pod filter if the person really wants one (as you know if they are in the engine bay with no shielding from the engine bay heat and no cold air ducting then you may aswell not have it under there. Box it up

hmm.. the fine for having a pod is $150.. well that was 2 years ago.. i don't think they'd have taken it down... these people only increase fines :thumbsup:

and brick - yuummm!!!!!!

Does sound weird but My best friend who works Highway Patrol in the Hunter valley just emailed me this information so for the fine to increase there must be add ons like in unsecured pod or too loud etc which I would believe that this would increase the fine.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
