haha yeh well theres me being to frustrated as Ive never had to come across this before (as in NZ law is fine with atmosphere BOVs and pod filters). anywho........ I have to change my point of view as I will consider my self lucky that that was all that was wrong in his eyes as it could have been way worse. and TBH changing to pod and BOV is easy enough.

ar you serious? it enables the engine to breathe better

boggles, as in it does the same job as if it had a standard box filter. infact the car would be more economical and have less emissions with a pod filter rather then with the standard box filter... its f**ked up

ok so yeh maybe the BOV, but it boggles my mind as to how a pod filter is illegal.... it does have a front mount intercooler.

So I took my newly acquired R32 GTS-T to a local mechanic today for a blue slip(as rego ran out over 3months). He called an hour ago and he was scared to lift it up on a 2post lift, as he said the suspension would fall out. I explained it has adjustables in it and has all been professionally fitted and so its safe, it would not fall out After a bit he called back saying its not going to pass because it has a BOV and a pod filter and that you are not allowed them... I asked well every turbo car has a BOV, so how can it be illegal to have one? (he said he doesn't make the rules) and for the pod filter he just said you are not allowed them.... I'm a bit confused, how can this be? He didn’t ping me for the loud exhaust or thats its super low but pings me for stupid things like this^ I'm heading back after work to get in writing exactly what is wrong because this to me seems outrageous. PS. I only moved to Aus from NZ afew months ago so not entirely sure how it works here...
