I have a Greddy Type S atmo on mine, and got a permit for it the last time I had to take the car over the pits. There was no problem with it at all.

I had a Blitz dual drive with the filter on it on my S15 I had previously and never had a problem with that one either.

A pod filter with no airbox/cold air partition is illegal. A pannel filter in the stock airbox is legal. Atmos BOV's are illegal because they vent engine gasses into the atmosphere i was told by one of the RTA dudes the defected me.

Hope this helps

Hey Sproosy, I had a pod filter and atmo bov that I got permits for when I got defected for being too low. Has the law recently changed? or is it only in WA that you can still get permits ofr these?

In NSW they dont like POD's and ATMOS BOV's and im pretty sure its the same in VIC. Not sure about the rest of country.

I never heard of permits dude, sorry.

maybe they are in WA only :) Permits are like approval for modifications to your car that make the mods 'legal' and the police cannot defect you for a mod if you have a permit for it.

For example, I have permits for the exhaust, pod filter, atmo bov, strut brace, non standard seats, pillar gauges. If you get pulled over by the cops and they try and defect you for something you can show them the permits and they cant defect you for anything that you have a permit for. B)

OK i see what you mean. They call them engineers certificates over here. But you cant get an ATMO BOV or unboxed pod "egineered"

EPA sux ass!

doesnt matter if u have an aftermarket filter or not. they will see it and go to town on you if its ATMO BOV. I was givin a "formal warning" for my BOV and egzorst, which means you dont really have to get it cleared because i never got it cleared and they didnt cancel my rego or ask any questions when i registered my car again this year. On the form it said they may cancel my rego if i dont get it cleared, i took a chance and they didnt, but i wouldnt recomend taking chances. After i get my cooler im gonna get it and the egzorst engineered to make hassles easier with the boys in blue.

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
