I'm sorry if this question has been asked before i couldn't find the answer any where, please send me a link if there is!

My question is will i get picked up by cops if i put pod filter on my skyline, I am a p plater in Queensland i have heard that it counts as a modification and if a cop had a bad day it could be a reasonably excuse to give you a hard time, i am just curious if this is true, is it illegal to mount a pod filter in your car?

shouldn't be illegal but im sure if they wanted to they would pick something with it - easier to just box it then you have no problems with cops or heat from the engine

but really why do you want a pod i would just keep the airbox and get a high flow panel - i would of preferred to keep my box but with my FMIC i had to remove it

i got pulled over twice in like 5 minutes at the spit the other week and both cops looked under the hood and they didnt say much about my pod i asked about them and was told that they only have to bolted in but he said some cops think otherwise and if they want they can book you for not having them boxed in

The last time I checked it's fine to have a Pod filter setup in QLD if the following requirements are met:

  • It's a dry filter element (K&N are oiled therefore illegal)
  • The Pod must be secured

Yep call em, They are legal, must be secured properly, be of flame retarding materials, & non oiled-which nissan usually require from air filters anyhow-and oiled filters fowl the A/F meter sensor anyway.

Qld police can interpret as an induction system that may need to be enclosed due to induction noise issues- up to officer at the time of roadside inspection.

Not sure on the P-Plater issue tho

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
