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....

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*#&*@#)$#*@#@

:P

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).

Welcome to the club :P

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...

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.

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!

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 :happy:

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
