Im pretty sure that with NSW law, the air filter needs to be secured and shielded... in other words, the AFM needs to be bracketed onto the body of the car and the POD needs to be almost completely enclosed... If the CAI box has the top half opened then it will still be classed as a defect...

Cheers

I have a bracket for the pod and the CAI is completly enclosed so i think ill be ok.

CHEERS mate.

in nsw ur NOT allowed to have ANY pod filter UNLESS it has been and got a drive by and stationary noise test for induction noise!!!!!!! and it ain't cheap!!!! i've been done a few times and there is noway out of it!!!!,yeh some coppers might not give a sh*t but when it comes down to the law u can't have a pod filter unless it's been approved by nsw rta.

Bloody hell why dont we all just drive hyundais then!

RTA really do suck the fun out of everything.

In victoria you can only have 1 intake mod...so a pod is ok, and a front mount is ok, but a pod AND a front mount is a defect.

Thats the thing.. If it's due to the "emmisions" crap then why isnt it standard all over the country?

Does that mean NSW has "better" air/low noise than VIC due to NSW using box'ed emmision'ed tested PODs, while VIC doesnt?

It's double standards and rediculous! (sp).

:D

it's because nsw rta are a bunch of assholes!!!from memory i think it's about $550 for the drive by test and if you don't pass there goes your $550,i've found having the k&n pannel fillter in the box works just aswell anyway+alot less sh*t from coppers

:laugh:

well, i think it all evens out in the end, i mean we have 100000000000 x 50 more speed cameras in Vic, just look at the new set up they got goin on the western ring rd, a speed camera over every over pass pretty much....(ok so im a little over the top but u get the drift) while we get to keep 'fully sik' induction noise, we cant really go anywhere with it without being dicked by the 'Bracks' gold mine.

Hi folks,

The information about the NSW noise test isn't quite correct. Yes, you need to "pass" a noise test - as described in ADR 28 -

but that noise test need not cost you anything. All you need is access to a dB meter. It doesn't need to be conducted

by an authorised tester.

The thing that costs is the engineering Signatory's say-so that the vehicle complies with ADR 28 - this is your

engineering papers - and they only _really_ need to do this particular test if you make modifications that are likely to affect

ADR 28. A cold-air intake pipe probably won't need to be tested; a pod will (in NSW).

Of course, usually the Signatory will want to conduct the test themselves - so the cost is built-in to your paperwork.

But you can do it yourself, quite easily. All the information on how to do it is on the DOTARS website.

Regards,

Saliya

Hey Dave, another skyline in Leumeah ! Got to be a good thing. Just a thought, getting the car tuned the other day at the Hitmans and took the lid off the airbox, well guess what, a whole 2kws. No thanks. The standard airbox flows heaps til around 240kw.The sucking noise from a pod, enclosed or not will drive you nuts.

Hi mate hope to see you around,its been a pain in the arse lately defected twice in two weeks.I hope you are luckier.

when i got defected i had the option of returning it to standed or specificly take it to penrith rta and get a drive by and standing still noise test done,which i had to book in for and they quoted me approx $550 for the drive by and the standing still test DOES HAVE TO BE PASSED by a approved tester.(whats stopping you from buying a proper exhaust db test machine and doing it urself???)which only cost about $800,i don't think the rta are going to pass that now are they you could of tested any car!!!and the signatory only charges from memory about $18.00 to pass the defect after you have returned to standed or got it passed by nsw RTA.i've been defected 3 times for a pod fillter and had to go down this road many times.

    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
