The Momo wheel should be ok, if it has the appropriate sticker on the back (like a price tag sticker with an approval number on it). The filter & BOV are technically modifications under ADR27C which makes them unlawful.

Sorry to hear about the mess mate. Can't help with any shops to help you out but I can comment on the legalities of the items they picked you up on.....

1. Any steering wheel that replaces the stock item must not be more than 1 inch (25mm) smaller than the original (not sure of EXACT size difference but the info shouldn't be too hard to track down) Also if the original has a padded center (which the std R32 one has) the replacement must also have one - same with an airbag.

2. Any bov that replaces the stock one MUST BE plumb-back type. Any venting to atmos isn't allowed.

3.Only ONE intake mod is allowed. ie if you have a FMI and a POD then you would have to remove one or the other. You are allowed a POD if you don't have an FMI.....

4.Apparently all Oz drivers have difficulty remembering the H pattern of a std gearbox and therefore all cars on ozzie road must display the 'H' pattern somewhere on the gearshift or surrounds. Now this is one of the stupidest rules I have come across however a simple sticker with the H pattern and gear No's on it stuck to the surround of the gearbox with solve the problem.

Anyway hope the info helps and you get your car on the road.....

thx for the info mate

i told the inspector that i was allowed the pod filter because i didnt have a cooler... he still wanted to see a box around it ............................. ..................................................................... i hate him

can some1 give me like evidence that im allowed a pod filter with no box? i really cbf getting a stock airbox

hmmmm I can tell you 110% that an uncovered POD with NO OTHER mod to the intake system is legal....if in doubt call the EPA for a ruling. The inspector (like 1/2 of them out there) doesn't seem to know a whole lot about cars/skylines and the ADRs. Maybe get the EPA to send a faxed copy of the ruling that you could show the vicroads inspector???

oh shit, im going to the dandenong office on thursday to get my gtr registered, i still have the pods on mine as well. i thought all they looked at was the VIN and engine number and u r outta there. does anyone have a spare air box lying around that i could use for the day?? which office would be the best to go to guys?? thanks heeps

pretty sure oiled types are illegal if not covered also...

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 馃槕. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
