I had the most brilliant of thoughts for the next time the officer pulls you over and stuff.

Just rip out a keyboard and a screen and talk to him that way. Its a sure winner.

Tell him about how your gonna have 300rwkw but you still want midrange, how your 19, a pro driver and all the other stuff you've come out with of late.

He'll soon be so scared off because of your ub3r l33tn3$$ that you wont be defected!

Thats like, the bestest idea i think.

On a serious note, have you even checked the ADR's before calling it wrong?

man thats some bad luck, as i stated before in the forums, when i had my 33 a cop gave me a defect for my battery being in the boot. When ever a cop pulls you over just agree with what they are saying, always tell the truth and walk away. I went to vicroads with the factory manual.They told me to go to the police station. I went there talked to the officer, the officer appologised to me and took it off. Good luck with the Vicroads

Why would you bother getting a roadworthy?

You've already said that the officer didn't tick the box stating that you needed a roadworthy or engineers certificate.

Do Vicroads have a record of the alleged defect?

If it's not on their system, what's the point in getting a roadworthy done?

Airbags are triggered by a number of sensors at the front, and sides of the vehicle.

I have worked with an airbag producer and they are calibrated EXACTLY for the layout of a vehicle AS IT LEAVES THE FACTORY.

If you add, say, a large chunk of aluminium to the front of the car, it is reasonable to assume that the frontal crash behaviour will be affected, and similarly the airbag deployment characteristics will be changed.

So, yes, the cop definitely has legs to stand on.

Do not assume that you are always (ever!) right, the officer is right in this situation.

i know removing safety features isnt the best idea but you could deploy/remove the airbag, then that wouldnt be an issue of getting eng certif. ect.. put an aftermarket steeering wheel on.. just a thought.. i would consider if i was in your shoes.

Airbag deploying mechanism's can't be very well set up then.. If the chunk of aluminium in question happens to be the radiator of the other car and not your own fmic you have to worry whether it will go off? Least my car is safe.. the crumple zone is whatever i hit.. hopefully a nice little korean car with a decent safety rating that will smoosh to diminish impact >_<

if your car came factory with an airbag you're not allowed to run an aftermarket steeringwheel..unless it has an airbag as well..which would defeat the purpose

      Best Skyline ever

      By Skip33 · Posted

      You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
