A defectable item is only something which breaches the ADR for the specific item. Exactly why when you have nothing better to do you should read up on your ADR's so when the day comes you can easily talk your way out of a defect .... I carry of the ADR's in my car for reference if a cop wishes to argue the point. Educating police officers .... I should get paid much more

Porgie, read up on your ADR's ... no ADR stipulates tyre diameter, the width is the only defectable item .... this can be confirmed with the RTA Technical line if you wish for the number ... step down !!! As for you Dluded, if your grind into your car then you can clearly see why they would need a cert or be a defectable item The reason your friends may tell you they have been defected for an after market BOV is if it was venting to atmosphere instead of being plumbed back .... the atmo venting BOV's are the ones which make the nice big "PSSssssSssTT" sound when you let off the accel, or when changing gears .... an aftermarket plumbed back like the Turbosmart Type II Plumback is completely legal. As for the 18" wheels once again, you'll find they were prolly defected due to width as most 18" rims are going to be 18x8" - 18x10" , clearly well over the 26 mm allowance from standard of most vehicles. Steering wheels have to comply to ADR's also, a lot of momo wheels etc are illegal, not completely sure as to reasoning but more info can be found on the RTA website if you wish.

Got a price on 245/40/18 for me ? Ahhhhh the joys of having nice rims :confused:

Dluded, you get a cert for the mods you have at the time .... and they are listed individually, so it's best to get all the mods you wish to have listed done, and them get them all cert'd at the same time to save $$$ and hassle. An engineers cert isn't always going to save your ass (As cops only have to suspect a defect, no proof needed) but in most cases if your nice about it, show the cop the cert and advise him to check this with the equipment, they'll be cool .... you do get assholes though.

The diameter of the wheel is not a defectable item .... it's the width they will get you for. If the width more than 26 mm wider than the stock width which is listed on the tyre placard (this should be fitted during compliance) then you need to have them listed on an engineers cert. The reason being that the wider the more chance they will touch the arch. It's common that the larger the wheel in diameter, the larger the width also which is why people commonly associate the defect to the wheel diameter. Low rides can also be a danger due to the fact that in everyday life, debris is a common hazard on roads .... can you imagine what a brick in the middle of a lane yould do to your ride sitting at 50 mm going 110 on the freeway ?? Not to mention that this little meeting would likely cause more debris, if not an accident in itself. Having a BOV is not a defectable item ... as long as it doesn't vent to atmosphere

I'm be looking at Falken's or Pirelli's on the front .... something a little cheaper like your Dunlop FM901's on the rear ..... This should at least keep you headed in the right direction without the expense using the same all round.

Looks like condensation George ....

That's it ... we need an r34 in white and blue with disco lights ... we can call ourselves the Rice Police .... and slap defects on offending vehicles :uh-huh:

pfff, always spoiling my fun ! :crazy:

RB actually stands for Race Bred or Race Breed I believe ....

What about the female officers ... some of them can me any day !!

I don't think they will so much add to the price of bringing a vehicle in, more likely just in regards to the time taken for a vehicle to come over and the types of vehicles that will be allowed.

yes .... working on that side of things as we speak ...... not long now :roll:

George eating Prank in fishnets ..... I know what your thinking Nick !

Haha, sitting in the garage ... haha /me looks in garage .... DAMMIT !

I'll help you search !

How does the hybrid work ?

IF your staying with her family, can I stay with her ?

Dumb pipe ? We call them bongs ....

If it's not too much trouble then could you save my $1500 for me too ?

I've got a HKS SSV, but I've heard they leak .... The Turbosmart Type II was the next thing I was looking at. I'm just looking for a plumback as I'd rather not get defected for the atmo venting. If I was to purchase the same FMIC package you just got, and a Turbosmart Type 2 Plumback, this would kill two birds with one stone, because with the pluming provided in the FMIC kit I would remove to the need to block off the old HKS SSV I currently have in use when I put the Turbosmart Type 2 on. Would any plumback just go straight on there the stock is installed ?

Maybe a Turbosmart Type II Plumback then Michael ?

Prank is correct ... at your age (your prolly older than me but I moved outta home, got muh Sky and started working fulll time a while back ) you'll find that theres soon to be many more places your money will go .... Off the top of my head I know each week I have money going to rent, fuel, dining out 2-3 times a week, going out on the weekend, girl expences :x , clothes, the list goes on .... $50 won't even pay for you own food if you eat out somewhere nice, let alone pay for the girly your with as for you George, stay away from my parents dammnit .... piggy backing is not cool for those over the age of 10 ....

I guess ... All I do is go out and drink, and always end up buying. $50 only gets you so many crownies for yourself and stellas for the girlies ...

Hmmmmm. Christ, $50 a week .... living it cheap I have troubles with $680 a week left after rent .... are you living with the olds ? Just keep in mind that if you go ahead with it, will you be able to still live on $50 a week for the next four years .... sounds a little too tight for my liking, but it's up to you.
