My mate who got defected 2 weeks ago, got defected again lastnite. But apparently the police did not take the car off him.

So i was just wondering why they didnt take the car off him..

My question is how many tyms does he have to get caught to get his car taken off him.

Does neone know the NSW Law

is there something wrong with getting defected for the same thing over and over even if u get it cleared?

if it get's cleared and you get done again then morally, yes... legally, not enough details to say lol!

I copped a defect for a low tyre over a year ago and only got a fine, hadn't paid that and got done again for the same thing and was issued a notice that i had 3 days to drive the car and something like 14 to clear it before rego would be cancelled.

Neither time did the police even consider taking my car... it would have to be some pretty insane defects for them to take your car (and i mean INSANE)

i'm pretty sure the only reason they impound your car is for burnouts or street racing...

they never take the car for defects, only if they consider the car unroadworthy they will make you tow it away(home or to a mechanic)

ive been fined 4 times for the same things each time i got them cleared with a dodgie blue slip then fined again, each time i got the same fine and same amount to pay.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
