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

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.

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

    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
