Pod Filter

[Lwood]

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

have a look here i couldnt find anything, but i would assume pod filter's would be fine, but only if its pink

if you do put one on make sure its bolted down tight~!

I heard pod filters are kind've pointless if you don't have a turbo. Just something someone told me so i don't know how true it is.

last night I spoke to some mates and apparently they are classed as an Illegal mod for p platers...

just mod the air box.. and run a less restrictive panel... i think BMC are a good one nt sure if it fits but try..!

i used to do that for my motorbike

nah just put on a pod and make an enclosure for it out of sheet aluminium, cheap and easy to do

pod filters are not illegal, they just have to be secured tightly via some sort of bracket, easy enough to make up

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 question isn't if their illegal in QLD or not. we know that that's s no, just make sure its really secure. The question is: does it count as an engine modification under the new P plater rules?

[kudos.motorsports]

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

or give them a call 13 23 80

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
