well i got done for my:

exhaust - i wanted to get a new quieter tip anyway

pod - will getting a pod enclosure pass me?

tyres - sorted

ground clearance - just my sideskirts are low, i could just take them off

and i got this other one that says "engine modifications to comply with standards".

i dont have any engine modifications other than the ones he mentioned.. and even if i did, can he defect me on something he cant see himself?

EDIT:

so far ive sorted:

- ride height

- airbox

NEEDED:

- standard muffler

yeah i got screwed.

ive got to get a blue slip for this one.

the front and back are fine.. its just the sides, they sit around 60mm off the ground.

i dont have the chromies anymore, its sitting on stockies.

you shouldnt need an actuall blue slip..

just someone that does them..

all they have to do is sign the bottom of the defect and done!

mate i hate to say it but that car with a loud exhaust, bright yellow paint job, body kit with our without the chromies is going to attract the friendly eye of the boys in blue. especially if you are still on Ps. (think you are?).

it is harsh, but perhaps think about a more sedate colour/body kit choice next time! lol

haha yeah but i like my colour :)

my aim is to get my car streetable anyway, i just need tyres which will be sorted anyway, my exhaust which i wanted to quieten, my sideskirts make the car low so i could just take them off.... im not sure about wether or not i can use a heat sheild for the pod or do i have to use a standard airbox?

Your best bet would probably be to borrow a stok box to get it cleared, and then put the Pod box on after that to decrease defectability

Yeah N1_R33_GTR.

I forget what they all mean totally but I think its like

?? = Vehicle must only be driven to workshop and back to clear defects.

Yellow = Driveable - defects must be cleared in ?? days.

Red = Can't drive vehicle. Must be towed.

I think it's something like that. Ive been lucky enough to never cop a defect yet.

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
