Well those threads kinda help.. i mean these type of conversations are always all over the place, and the different laws in each state make it difficult to follow whats legal or not in your own haha. There wasnt much mentioned in those threads about NSW, which is what im after.

I was thinking about just going for the ORSSOM OTR as it does look standard and is all enclosed. Plus you can leave the MAF on with the ORSSOM OTR. Though im going to get it maffless tuned. If any problems occur i can just throw the MAF back on i think ???

The latest Wheels mag has a gts with a 427 installed by Corsair special vechiles which is ADR approved It may be a case of getting an engineer to sign it off

Modifications must not affect compliance with any emission or noise related ADRs. It would be up to you to prove this.

You would have to be very unlucky to get done for this, especially if your OTRCAI looked tidy.

One trick is to get your MAF and remove its guts (still looks okay from the outside), then fit the MAF OTRCAI. The MAF won't actually do anything but it will look like it's connected, however, anyone who knows what they are looking at can just remove the connector to the MAF and if the car runs the same they will know it is not functioning.

If you are getting a Mafless Tune, you don't want to leave your MAF on. The OTRCAI designed to connect to your MAF is also designed to work with a MAF tune.

If anything above that I have said above is wrong, I am sure someone will correct me :xmas:
