Defected

[SAGTS-4]

Yesterday on the way to glenelg i was pulled over by a cop on a bike on his way to the defect sation down at mosley square. Apparantly he pulled me over because i accelerated to hard a few streets down and said he would take my license away, then said he would make a deal with me. If he could defect me he wouldnt take it away he was a real asshole some big guy with glasses and kept saying 'bro' alot. You guys prob know him cause ye lots of skylines get pulled over at glenelg.

anyway my rear was 20 mm to low and i have to go to regency.. what a ball breaker just thought i'd share that with ya. cause they saw the Ps and a skyline to much attention the car pulls.

p.s when i was pulled over a nice black GTR r33 boosted past anyone here??

oh and on the way back to my car later that day he pulled over a brand new ferrari....

just take it to sturt an see if they'll clear it for ya.

nope if it is a Regency defect you are screwed - take the car back to completely standard and they will still find worn bushes, imperfect tyres, dirty brake fluid, minor fluid leaks at the back of the trans/engine etc etc .... sorry man you are royally screwed.

However I thought they had to find 3 things in order for it to be a Regency defect - otherwise like scandy said you should be able to get it cleared by a local cop shop

my business got broken into on friday night

took like $150 worth of drugs..but the total damage was well over $4000

instead of cruising along anzac hwy looking for cars to defect (no not stolen cars)

they should send more patrol around and make good use of tax payers money...F*#&*@#)$#*@#@

[Nightcrawler]

yep I can't agree more Andy .... not to mention the amount of bald-tyre rust-buckets driving around that shouldn't be on the road - yet they pick on our meticulously maintained machines for minor issues that really have no negative bearing on roadworthiness in the real world (lower centre of gravity actually = safer driving and more control).

unfortunately, common sense isnt in sapols training regime...

Welcome to the club

Yes i agree with stripping it back to std and im going to make sure ive gotten under and checked every bush in my car myself.

They dont have to find 3 things, its 1. The copper that defected me showed me his book with each item showing where they have to send u to clear each defect (so he knows how to fill out the damn form more like)

Suspension (too low as i got done) is a VIS -Regency only.

edit/ if it was me id be filling out a complaint (ask cop for his badge number and name) as he sounds like he was being a prick. The guy who defected me was ok, so i dont have a problem...

im sure most of the time they just want to check out nice cars... then give a defect to 'justify' it.

annoying to hear about defects on nice cars when you see so many shitboxes on the road

Hey hey,

now lets dont pick on rust buckets here....mine doesnt have bald tyres lol.....poor daily driven 79 rolla

[scandyflick]

lol, my car doesnt have rust!

... just that everything else is shagged.

but it never gets a second look

[SAGTS-4]

ye the most annoying thing is its only 20mm !!!! big deal and now other things start to happen i cant get to work cause i cant drive it, get new springs $$ time wasting then there gonna find other stuff its so much hassle for 20 mm

[Bl4cK32]

i got done for 30mm on the front and 10mm on the rear.

i thought you were allowed to accelerate as fast as you want up to the limit, as long as you don;t break traction.

[Ryanrb25]

thats bullshit. sadly it'll never end.

i dont mind if its a justified reason for a defect, fine etc. its just the bullshit ones. My R31 got defected for no water in the window washer bottle. yet he didn't realise the rb25det centimetres away....you hear some wierd stories out there...most cops are reasonable if you share their view, its the other ones who have nothing better to do.

[nos man]

this is the reason why i didn't get a performance car =) i was so excited on getting a r31 gtsr that when i started to hear all these stories and all my mates starting to get defecting and shit i thought a P plater like me would get ripped apart out there! so i'm gonna settle with a nice simple mazda 323 sometime this week maybe! so yeah i chose to get a car i can get around in without cops eye balling me! what scared me the most was when i was on regency road ibehind a really f**ked up van! i mean it had rust everywhere and the body was all dented and stuff! a riced up rex was next to it and then a cop turned onto the road and he was next to me and he was talking on his radio! he then flashed his lights and pulled the rex over! i don't know what happened after that but i have a pretty good idea and yeah that freaked me out and stopped me from getting the r31!

[Tangles]

get a Stagea.

[sinistaGTR]

jsut dont get caught

make sure you get the SP23 they r sxc and sporty

R33 GTS4 hey is it turbofied or still running standard engine

[Pauly33GTS-t]

If you gun it at any rate in front of a cop, they can pull yo over, and do you for hooning.

Hooning if you look on SAPOL is like an instant towaway of your vehicle and 2500 on spot fine max. So gunning it around or in the vacinity of cop patrolling areas is risky, as we have rb20s and rb25s its not that hard to hear us scream.

EDIT: Oh and you RB26ers
