Hi guys

My car has finished compliance in Brisbane and is going to be on its way here very shortly.

Once it gets here I am gong to have to put it over the pits. At the moment it has a pod filter on it. I was wondering if anyone could help me out by lending me a standard filter box and filter for it because otherwise I don’t thing it is going to pass.

If any one can help or had any advice it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Lee

As long as the pod filter is mounted securely it should be fine. Otherwise check out the Consolidated Workshop thread for shops and wreckers in Perth.

ah ok. i thought a pod filter would not pass unless it was boxed though?

That only applies for the eastern states, not here.

As bubba said, as long as its secure, it will pass without a problem.

EI-107A

Vehicle Safety Branch Examiner’s Instruction

Vehicle Intake and Exhaust Systems

Pre ADR 27C Vehicles

There is evidence to suggest that many ‘hang-on’ emission control devices for these vehicles are no longer available from original equipment manufacturers and/or spare parts suppliers. This applies to vehicles manufactured prior to 31 January 1986.

Taking into consideration the non-availability of emission control components, examiners do not need to insist on original equipment emission control systems being intact.

Consequently vehicle examiners do not need to issue a modification permit for exhaust extractors.

It is also unnecessary to issue a modification permit for non-genuine air filters providing induction noise is not excessive. These include cone or pod type filters.

Not withstanding the above, vehicles must continue to comply with the Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Rules 2002 with respect to the emission of smoke.

Post ADR 37 Vehicles

Vehicles manufactured from 1 February 1986 must continue to comply with the applicable design rule for the year of manufacture (Australian Design Rule 37/00, 37/01, 79/00 or 79/01).

Catalytic converters and other emission control devices must be retained and functioning correctly. However where exhaust extractors are fitted a modification permit is not required.

It is also unnecessary to issue a modification permit for non-genuine air filters providing induction noise is not excessive and that all engine management sensors are fitted and operating. These include cone or pod type filters.

if u want a copy of this government document to take to the pits with you send me a pm with your email addy and i will send it to you

As they have all said as long as it's secure it would be fine. The only problem you could have is if it's a mushroom style pod as they can be overly noisy (for no reason), but that's down to the inspector plus you might not know what it sounds like until you get the car haha....

But if you think you're better off changing it you've got a few people here willing to help you out :)

I used some 1.3mm ally sheet I had lying around, cut two strips, drilled a hole at each end and ran them from the bolts holding the AFM on to a couple of captive nuts in the chassis where I believe the stock airbox bolted to.

Initial compliance registration of the car is different to taking a car across for an inspection such as resulting from recieving a yellow sticker. Compliance rules says that the car needs to be stock as a rock in order to pass the pits. Which means you won't pass the pits if you have an aftermarket catback exhaust on it or any other similar light modifications such as different rims. Hell if you don't have the factory nissan pads in it, they can knock you back if they feel like it. Other side to that is that a lot of the pit guys don't really know the difference and sometimes won't pick you up. But if they understand raws compliance they can and will knock you back

yeah but the car has already been through and passed its compliance. I this not is just to prove the car is road legal and to get the car licensed here in WA?

surely it would not be that strict, i would have thought it would be no different to buying a car from over east and getting it licensed here. I'm sure people are not expected to take the wheels kits and mods etc off there commodores and what non just to licence them here in WA providing they are road legal?

Like they would send the car from Qld to WA without completing compliance :blush:

As long as it's not too loud, you shouldn't have a problem with it on as long as it's secured.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
