The Momo wheel should be ok, if it has the appropriate sticker on the back (like a price tag sticker with an approval number on it). The filter & BOV are technically modifications under ADR27C which makes them unlawful.

Sorry to hear about the mess mate. Can't help with any shops to help you out but I can comment on the legalities of the items they picked you up on.....

1. Any steering wheel that replaces the stock item must not be more than 1 inch (25mm) smaller than the original (not sure of EXACT size difference but the info shouldn't be too hard to track down) Also if the original has a padded center (which the std R32 one has) the replacement must also have one - same with an airbag.

2. Any bov that replaces the stock one MUST BE plumb-back type. Any venting to atmos isn't allowed.

3.Only ONE intake mod is allowed. ie if you have a FMI and a POD then you would have to remove one or the other. You are allowed a POD if you don't have an FMI.....

4.Apparently all Oz drivers have difficulty remembering the H pattern of a std gearbox and therefore all cars on ozzie road must display the 'H' pattern somewhere on the gearshift or surrounds. Now this is one of the stupidest rules I have come across however a simple sticker with the H pattern and gear No's on it stuck to the surround of the gearbox with solve the problem.

Anyway hope the info helps and you get your car on the road.....

thx for the info mate

i told the inspector that i was allowed the pod filter because i didnt have a cooler... he still wanted to see a box around it ............................. ..................................................................... i hate him

can some1 give me like evidence that im allowed a pod filter with no box? i really cbf getting a stock airbox

hmmmm I can tell you 110% that an uncovered POD with NO OTHER mod to the intake system is legal....if in doubt call the EPA for a ruling. The inspector (like 1/2 of them out there) doesn't seem to know a whole lot about cars/skylines and the ADRs. Maybe get the EPA to send a faxed copy of the ruling that you could show the vicroads inspector???

oh shit, im going to the dandenong office on thursday to get my gtr registered, i still have the pods on mine as well. i thought all they looked at was the VIN and engine number and u r outta there. does anyone have a spare air box lying around that i could use for the day?? which office would be the best to go to guys?? thanks heeps

pretty sure oiled types are illegal if not covered also...

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
