It's my understanding that POD filters affect your intake and make your turbo sound more impressive. Are they legal in Canberra? If so where would be the best place to get one and who would be the best to get it fitted?

Well they certainly make a sucking noise apart from that they do little else compared to a highflow replacement filter until you get 350+rwkw.

From what I understand they are legal in the ACT, however in NSW you will need to enclose them in a box. This is a good idea as it prevents engine heat from being sucked in. There's other requirements about intake noise but I don't think a little extra noise would matter, if boxed you probably would not notice an increase.

If you are northside many people recomend Trojen motorsports, but fitting pod filters can be done by anyone including yourself.

snoopy4eva, do you run an FMIC at all? It is legal to run a POD in ACT as long as it is mounted securely. I currently have an JustJap FMIC kit (type 1 - over the radiator painted black) which meant I had to change from a standard airbox to a POD. I have enclosed the POD in a UAS fibreglass box and have a homemade cold air feed going to it.

I have since bought another FMIC kit (return pipe) so I can run my stock airbox again, which means I will have a very cheap FMIC kit and POD setup available in the next week or 2.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
