Thanks for coming - Banned.

In NSW a pod filter must be shrouded from the engine bay (to stop it catching fire and making too much 'noise') and must not be of the oiled type.

In any case, what is wrong with the stock filter/airbox? Enlarge the hole and run another intake tract to the airbox or similar.

Boost controller should be legal.

Most mechanics are only an AIS and can only provide pink slips.

AUVIS workshops can clear your defect for you (they also provide blue slips) but they won't risk the fine if you haven't fixed your defect in most cases.

in WA its legal for a pod filter but it has to be an oil type and securely mounted, AFAIK boost controllers arent legal. it gets frustrating with each state having different laws on shit most of the time

And where were you driving? And what were you doing at the time to be pulled over for the cops to "pick on you" ?

Even better, I had to put my car over the pits as it was bought unregistered / recovered vehicle. Pods were passed as soon as they were mounted on sturdy brackets, K&N oiled type on M's adapters non-enclosed. Boost controller and turbo timer were left in but turned off for the initial inspection but was advised by the inspector that they could be left on and it wouldn't be a problem.

Had to get front ball joints replaced and a few other bits done before they would pass it.

Just lucky I guess..

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

Pods are illegal no matter what!!!!!

Boost controllers are illegal no matter what!!!!!

Where do these people come from????

my son got defected a few weeks ago for a pod filter and fmic this is in sa. was told we needed a full inspection at regency . i rang regency and told them what we got done for his reply was and i quote a pod filter is not a defect if it is mounted with a bracket it does not need to be covered in . the front mount is not a defect and he told us to take it too the local police station and give him a ring at regency he will tell the police neither are defectable items and to clear the defect .

we went to the police station the copper rang they guy at regency 5 mins later we are driving away without the defect had to pay a 29 buck fee for the copper to clear the defect .

we dodged a bullet this time lol as car had other things that would have been picked on if it went over the pits

true story

cheers dean

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
