Cheers

do a forum search, there's a few defect topics

basic things they can legally defect you for is a bov venting to atmosphere, and an unsecured pod

anything else, best to go get a cert from the RTA to say it's street legal

Anything they want to, its then upto you to clear it with RTA and courts. Read this thread there is a link or 2 in it to some answers.

cops can and will defect you for ANYTHING, just to waste your time and/or money.

when VY's were new, there was a SS Ute that literally rolled off the showroom floor that morning (so no mods AT ALL) that i saw defected, just because the owner happened to be at Aspley Macdonalds on the night of a blitz.

yeah but not hard to fight that, but yeah i spoke to a woman who warned me about a defected station, she drove a brand new landcruises (about 2 years ago) and said she was done for having a wrong sized steerring wheel and a tow bar that stuck out to far from back of the car, whcih she said were standard. :s

a guy got defected in a brand new patrol ute because the number plate wasn't visible from 45 degree up. it had factory tray and the number plate was positioned in the factory holder.

you can get defected fro trimming the front bar to get the cooler in.

actually one of the bogans at the southside hoon spot i was having a chat to said you can get defected for having slimline plates on the back

is that true? sounds dodgy =/

well the government allow businesses to sell things that go on your car that are classified as "illegal" to have. so i dont see why the government would excuse themselves from selling things that can be "illegal" on your car to.

What can you get defected for?

haha! pretty much anything these days. and if the cop is in the wrong, then its you who has to go through all the trouble of getting the defect notice and fine dismissed which means, you got to take time off work to go to court and babble a whole load of shit to a judge who has nothin better to do all day then to sit behind a bench and hear everyones bullshit.

clearly, i got to go through this myself and get my 2 fines dismissed cause some stupid cop doesnt know how to do his job properly. in the end the cop is just goin to cop the bad end of the stick cause maybe all these years he's had it easy handin out fines and defects to ppl for no reason, but this time, he's hit the wrong person and has given me more then enough motivation and fuel to have everythin thrown back at him.

what would be really cool in my opinion is if the judge was to have every fine and defect notice handed out by this one cop, gone through all of them and had anyone reinburst for the false fines/defects hes handed out.

hahahahah! that would be cool to see! :)

but doubtful ;)

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
