Hi! Its no secret that my car is about to head of to its new owner.

I have to get him a RWC etc , all good...

Now i am a bit of a stresser when it comes to imports and RWC's in my local town because they are fairly rare for the area and knowledge is scarce ... I have made the booking for Monday and wondering what alternitives i have other than chasing up original airbox...

it also has a 3.5inch cannon on it that's fairly notey i am a bit worried about aswell?

It shouldnt be a problem as both these mod's have been through complience and 2 roadworthies but that was melbourne!

the rest of the car is totally original

Could anyone comment on how they may have got passed this?

play innocent? Most places that do a RWC will give you some things to fix up, then issue you the cert once you fix it up, so rock up with the pod, if they don't notice it you won't have to fix it :ninja:

1 intake mod is allowed in vic, so it should pass, as long as you dont have a fmic.

my car passed a road worthy with a pod, but the old owner had to get it so it could have been a dodgy.

PS is anyone elses quick reply and quote buttons not working?

can anyone verify that on gtst if u have a fmic can u have a pod aswell if u have it in a box?

This has already been asnwered in this thread.

VicRoads + RWC testers don't care a whole lot about intake mods, it's EPA that you need to worry about.

...and a pod is a pod, it doesn't matter if it's in a box or not, it's still classified as an intake mod.

actually you are allowed a POD, however the filter has to be the kind that is non oiled.

HKS filters are legal because they are a dry element. K&N filters on the other hand which require oiling are illegal.

Check out vicroads and read up on it. You wont have any problems passing with the Pod filters.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
