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.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
