Im sick of god damn Defects!

[Mitch_R32]

Hey All,

Well ive finally decide to sell my little Black R32 Gts-t, but 2 months ago i forgot that i was defected for my Pod, next comes a letter in the mail....

"Notice of registration Cancellation" !!! over a ****ing pod that leaks a little bit of gas ??....

Now, the plot thickens, prior to this defect i have thrown a HKS front mount intercooler in the bay, and in order to clear my defect i had to put the standard airbox on, and just as things couldnt get any worse .... It didnt fit because of the piping... now i know alot of you will say .. "just make up a custom box" but i gonna take guess here that .... It needs to be engineered ? and the plot thickens again, theres no engineers for 2 hours were i live ... Great.

One more question, can i take off the piping on the FMIC thats in the way temporarly, put the standard box on and take it to get cleared or will the car **** up ?

So i should do what exactly ?

Please tell me that at least 1 person has been through this or similar ....

Cheers all !

Mitch

I met a whole buncha bastards who wouldn't sign off on my defect unless it was back to the original airbox.

Liek yu0 kn0... get farked...

Not after a spent the money on a new pod and fiberglass box.

Unfortunately most places who can clear defects won't jeopardise their license for only $16.50...

where do you live?

if you need a blue slip type mechanic that will pass your car (ie. not an engineer) pm me.

[Mitch_R32]

Well, i just had an idea to cut away a bit of the airbox so it bypasses the piping... so im going to do that 2morrow....

BTW. Are the RTA leanient with defects that lead to rego cancellations ? will that let me just reactivate the rego for a small fee ?

Cheers all and thanks for the replys

U can u a paper (non oiled) type of pod with is legal.

Just cover the pod with a box and go to your local blue slip garage and get them to check it. It took me longer to pop the bonnet lever and raise the bonnet than it took for them to inspect everything.

To be honest their is nothing illegal about a 'pod filter' but lets not get into that again...

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I had one and got defected. I went to a place near me, sat the box in dodgily and just swapped it over when I left again. he was cool about it because he checked it with the standard box, didn't he? if I put it on again after he leaves it isn't his problem

I now have a standard box with K & N panel filter. I also have a HKS FMIC, but the piping fits perfectly with the box, is yours a proper kit??

[CerealKiller]

hey I'll buy your HKS front mount

[Mitch_R32]

Yes it is a proper kit... thats odd.

heres a pic.. is it correct ??

[wreckedhead]

why you stressing for about the pod and rta, trust me you dont have to think about them, i get those leters all the time about defects and cancelation of rego, then licence if you dont fix it, but if your in sydney message me i have someone who will clear your defects and you dont even have to change anything.

hey it looks like the pipe that is in the way has a long rubber connector?, is it possible to bend it enough to temporarily fit the box?

[Moanie]

i've got a fmic and i managed to put the standard airbox back in...i had it cut to fit around the piping and i taped any bits that were cut too much etc....i passed with that...and i had to go to the epa to clear it!
