Pod filter needs to be fully enclosed, and even that sometimes isnt enough. BOV needs to be plumb back. Bear in mind that it also depends on the cop at the time, I worked with a guy at one point who got defected for his stock BOV :P

That's pretty much what happened to the other half with the b.o.v

thanks mate

Dont quote me on it. But ive done a bit of research on the rules. And from memory A Pod filter has to be fully enclosed but u can use the guard and the bonnet to form some of the sides. And only catch with the BOV is its not allowed to vent to atmosphere. thing is with a Pod on it sounds like it vents to atmosphere.

But again dont quote me on it.

Anyway have a look on the transport web site. its there somewhere. takes a bit to find it but its there.

make an enclosure and take it to get cleared

pod laws vary state to state, in qld it used to just be that it must be secured and unable to move more than 10cm or something crazy

but i think qld police get cops from different states cos i've been told by a cop that my pod was flat out illegal

just had a quick google and pretty much every australian forum has a thread like this and most say that in nsw the pod has to be "enclosed"

re the venting noises, thats the stock plumb back bov doing its job, go talk to the police station that issued the defect and show them the return line

then also remind them that its a family wagon

Write in and contest the fine on the bov. Get a stock snorkel and airbox with a highflow filter and problem solved.

(BTW the bov on my truck sounds like a trumpet but the cops never pull me for that!)

I guy on these forums posted a tutorial on how to enclose one with a bucket or icecream container. LOL

that was me, i was gonna suggest it but i thought it would annoy too many ppl as no one thought it was a joke

    • 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?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
