Licensing and Aftermarket Air pods, WA?

[HJB]

Has anyone in WA had their car licensed, or gone over the pits with an aftermarket Air pod on and passed?

[skyliner33wa]

nah, but i have got a canary twice for it so you can get a permit while at the pits

i went over with a K&N airpod, but i also got away with some other stuff like a screamer pipe which is apparently quite illegal. it depends on what inspector you get but you can deifnately get permits for them as long as they are secured

so that beast 32 GTR is coming to perth then eh?!

PVA, so when I go to the pits to get it licensed with WA plates, do I ask for permits for the various mods then?

get permits for everything so the cops cant get you for the obvious items, but if they really want to theyll go over your car and find something minuscule and stupid like a hairline crack in your exhaust or something stupid.

I understand if I come across the wrong cop I might be done, but I want to have all the right paper work for the stuff on my car. So who actually has permits for their mods?

[adam 32]

its $28.50 for a mod license which you can put 5 things on.

so after you go over the pits and get your plates etc. go back to the pits and say i want to get a permit for this pod filter, BOV or whatever. theyll do a few checks and issue you with the permit.

some things you cant get permits for like dodgey pod filters or dual trumpet rice-boy BOV's

I got a permit for my K & N, but thats about it (only mod as it is N/A )

Simply done hey as everyone else says, when you go to register the car get the permits their and then, i got my mum to take my car when i got the canary, easier on older people. I didn't want to go anyway

if you have defect car ou should not even driving it simple as that but surely how the F**ck they ganna check hairline fracture for exust... what are they ganna use bloody X-rays to find that? as long as your is not over the top modified they are happy to issue permit on writing...

Inspector/engineers are not picky like cops cuz majority of cops dont know jack shit about cars and just pinn you for haivng 4 tires in your car if they wants to! or Being smart ass (that's different story!)

theres a big difference between a defected or yellow stickered car and an unroadworthy car

yellow stickers can be given out for pod filters, and BOV's and exhaust this doesnt make them unroadworthy though...

all you need to do is get a permit, or not drive like a tool. cos if they dont pull you over they cant check your car. but for $28 a permit is worth it as youre paying $50 every time you go over the pits to get a yellow sticker removed

moral of the sorty: get a permit!

haha settle was just exagerating and making a point that the coppers will pick you for anything they can get you for.

my mate had to take his skyline over the pits last week (bald tyres) and he said everything was fine bar the convex/cave mirrors which were on it (c-red hadn't changed them) but still got it licenced? and he told him to come under the car to have a look at the exhaust which had a crack in it but wasnt leaking, so he had to get that welded up. now thats bullshit.

I would have assumed that my car would have been licensed with the POD filter after it was brought into Australia. It was already installed at the dealership when first purchased, mine is a HKS item.

Of course they could have swapped an OEM item in when going over the pits!!!

Where can you get an engineers report from in WA anyway?

Hey Guys with all this permit talk for mods...

Stupid question: what about VIC? I mean is it legal to have pod filters and what not in Victoria? Like is it possible to get an engerneering certificate or something to pull out and show the cops its legal?

Also with wheel upgrades same sorta thing apply?
