I was pull over this afternoon heading to Bondi on the M4. The cop said my pod was undercover and gave me a small fine,,, but he also said I need to get a cover for it and have my Turbosmart boost controller removed. Which was in plain sight.

Any help by you guys will greatly be appreciated.

1) Is there anyway around this TM removed thing?

2) What is a full inpection?

3) What and where is an Authorised Unregistered Inspection Station?

AUVIS is an authorised unregisteered vehicle inspection station.

Sounds as if you need to have a full blueslip insection done. So basicly the vehicle needs to be presented in perfect road worthy state to be cleared.

Give greg at autosport engineering a call he can help you out with getting it cleared with minimal fuss. 95211388

ngk racing do you have any idea what your talking about.

any form of modification to a standard car is illegal.

cops could fine you for a air freshener hanging off your rear veiw mirror if they wanted to.

.....well if it has a front mount on it or a bov he was right to defect you, but if he has defected you on fact that you pod isnt covered he is wrong. I would call rta take it there show them first could save you alot of money, (Take the boost contoler off first) they can clear any decfect or blueslip there. If the cop has mad a mistake i have done it before saved me 80 bucks on the roady and it was a defect i got for a pod filter

lol who told you that???????????????????

lol who told you that???????????????????

if the boost controller isnt illegal why are you telling him to take it off.

dont send the wrong message to people.get your facts right first.

as for the pod.everyone knows its illegal unless its fully enclosed and engineered.

hahahahahaha

boost controller is illegal

what ever cops are telling you a pod is illigal and u need to have it fully enclosed and engineered is wrong..

so listen to what i said i dont live in sydney but i had the same thing cop told me my pod was illigal i went to the rta and got it cleared for free and they said even some cops make mistake

:(

ok people....I didnt clear a defect notice at the RTA without a roadworthy slip im just talking shit for no reason its good for your health im telling you its not illegal if you think otherwise thats up to you

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
