Qld- Fines For Having An Atmospheric Bov

[Duke]

Hey guys, just wondering if anybody knows the fines for having a BOV vented to atmosphere? Will the cops give me a defect and will i have to have the whole car checked or will they just issue me with a ticket ? Also, I have a GTR front bar and to have it mounted, the reo bar had to be cut, will they do me for this? And finally, I have a HKS mushroom filter(not covered in a box), intercooler, boost controller and apexi neo AFC, will I be done for any of those? Any help much appreciated

Reo yes you'll get done if they know what they are looking for, the BOV, and the uncovered pod yes intercooler and bc no afc if they know what it is yes, IF you get defected you have to go through DOT to get it cleared, let me start ummmm 225 for defective vehicle, 75 for driving defective vehicle 1 point off the licence $80.00 booking fee for the DOT, and the cost to fix whats defective. oh plus the rules have changed slightly, if you get caught with the same shyt, impoundment may be possible. the fine amounts were true as of 2 years ago when i got done. Part from that zillmere DOT if you get caught are pretty good guys to deal with.

Enjoy

thanks for that mate, just wanted to get a rough idea of what to expect

in qld you won't get fined for the pod so long as it has a fixed mounting bracket. it can be uncovered. (my mate got pulled over by the hoon squad and asked them about it)

yes you can get done for the bov and the reo.

it depends who you get on the day about the pod, the fixed mounting thing yes thats true, but covered/uncovered is up in the air, due to excessive noise (induction noise) that is etc etc

cops went over my car but didnt see my atmos bov uncovered pod etc, but u sure it points of the licence in QLD??

keep in mind if you dont have mesh infront of the intercooler it may be a defect aswell. been pulled up a couple of times having the police officer say its illegal to have an uncovered intercooler "open to the elements".
