^^ lol true that ...

stock is the best bet for passing emissions ... plus using the cat that cam with your car originally will help a great deal.

when an import is complied they usually put one crazy restrictive cat in to help with noise and emissions

saw the coppa go past me, and chuck a u-turn at a set of traffic lights. u-turn was NOT permitted (illegal)...but it was a coppa so what can i say.

"excuse me sir this is a random breath test and rego check, licence pleasse"

I hate that feeling when you know you are going to be pulled over ... I usually pull over as soon as I see the cop start following me and whack the hazards on

Test should only be noise, try asking a compliance workshop thats been around for a while (eg. 60kph constant speed past sensor 3 meters away). Mid muffler is a good idea.

Pollution only goes as far as to check for a cat converter. An enclosed pod is absolutely fine for sure, though you could present evidence that the car was complied with the pod the way it is, chat with the people that complied the car originally if you can. Depending on the import/manufacture/compliance date it may have different compliance rules regarding pod filters. A cold air induction box with a coupple of pipes bringing air to the box will improve efficiency and is therefore a good idea though.

The cops don't know what mods are legal because different laws apply to different Australian manufacture/compliance dates on the same model car with the same production date in Japan.

Apparently you get a fine and then you get it cleared, not sure if you still have to pay the fine if it was complying in the first place?

Let us know how this goes, do they charge to do the testing, when I asked workshop they told me it costs about $3,500 to get the testing done and compliance certificate for mods?
