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...

T.

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

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...

:D

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??

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.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
