Defected in my driveway!!!

[EnricoPalazzo]

Well last nite at 1 i was driving home. There is this road about 1 min from my house which i usually gun it down.

Well some cops were hiding along a side street. They heard me so followed me home. I pulled up in my driveway, noticed a cop car behind me, i was like shit!

Anyway got done for too low and rears bald. I was lucky, they could of screwed me, so its not really bothering me. They seemed to be nice guys, however luckily had no idea and didnt even pop my hood pheww. They also asked if my 3.5 inch exhaust is stock, which i replied, im not sure, but it went through regency like this a few weeks ago.

So my question is, can i adjust my Teins to the correct height, or is that still illegal, as they only said it was too low, nothin about dampness etc.

Anyhelp appreciated

Thanks

Dean

Thats is so ******** gay.

Word on the streets is that the police are out in force for the next month defecting anything that moves....I must admit I did see a $50 corolla getting defected last night.. only because it was held together with rust...

Bad news for me.

[hippy]

shiet lol ... ur run of bad luck hasn't come to an end .. stay clear away from me

[hippy]

saw an old commie the other night too getting defected ..

[EnricoPalazzo]

I heard about the defect blitz next month so be careful guys

Hip: Man i cant shrug it off. Lets just say im lucky to have my health at least

Hopefully i can attend the cruise on the 20th and finally meet u guys

put your stock rims on, and just adjust it to legal height mate,

i know,i been defected twice in 2 weeks, they didnt let me pass with my 8' wide rims so i put stock ones and it went allright

[EnricoPalazzo]

Dont have stock rims mate.

Heres the plan: Go to see my mate at used tyre mart, get some rears. Then adjust my Tiens.

Then go to police station to get it checked off so i can drive it around.

[SHUTO-BOY]

cool, but why the police station? just go to an transport ministry vehicle inspection centre. police and transport are different entities alltogether. I never..ever go to the police station voluntarily

in my yellow, sometimes the cops give me 2 weeks,if they woke up on the wrong side of bed,theyll give me 7 days,,so check how long he gave you,should be allright. Hope you pass with no troubles

at least u dont have to go to regency man.......u bought ur car from motorcity imports it used to belong to one of the guys at autobahn at mile end..........in my old sileighty i had adjustables that were too low and the cop let me off with my blow off cos i daid the blow off was real quiet and the shoks i can change cos they are adjustable.....

[SHUTO-BOY]

oh and before you go for inspection, check wether your car is too low or not in the actual regulations, im guessing you have a stock front bar? u might pass, i think(im not so sure so check it), the lowest point of your car must not be more than 100MM, i dont know

[vendetta]

i think u chek by using a coke can isnt it

There is a web site some where around that states the specs for all the skylines inc. ride heights.

The ride height is measured from the center of the wheel to the guard. I'm sure you all knew that anyway.

So just get your tape measure out and adjust to factory 4wd specs.

My car is a direct import, so its not aussie s/h.

The cop gave me 72 hours to drive it, after that it can only b driven if im gettin repairs done to it.

He said i have to take to to a police station to get the drivng period extended. Then when my booked date at regency comes, i have to take it there for an inspection.

What im worried about is all my other mods, exhaust, BOV, strut brace, airflilter, etc

Will regency check these even thou its not on the defect (only too low and rears bald)

Now im beginning to worry.

So wat do i do, go to the cop shop or a transport ministy inspection thing??

[Clint32]

When you go over regency they will check everything.

Is the BOV a plumback one, if not you will need to change it.

Exhaust is ok as long as it is not very loud, easy to put a restrictor in it if it is loud. Airfilter im not sure on, you may be ok with it.

[Cubes]

Well I had to throw my air on recirc today 3 times due to crappy old cars blowing excessive smoke while a cop car was sitting next to me, they didn't even blink.

----------

This is one reason why i'm keeping my car 'looking' as stock as possible. i.e ride height, engine bay, wheels.

[hippy]

enrico ... u might wanna stay away from me if u go on cruise .. and i wouldn't speak too soon about ur health .. u better tough wood

[NitRaTe]

Enrico, they check every thing, or maybe its just me or my car.

Anyway, initially i got defected for:

1. After market BOV, regardless plumback, no noise, whatever fuvk it is, as long as its aftermarket u cant have it. thats what i was told by this cop, his face is always gonna be in my head.

2. Air filter, ONLY stock one, i was told by this same cop.

Next chapter:

Go to regency, they run through every single thing. Or again maybe its just me or my car.

Anyway, good luck bro.

I think we should really sort this out and get some hard facts.

I'm going to give motor reg a buzz and find out exactly what we can and can't do to our cars.. Then we can hide the bits we cant

[Cubes]

I'm also going to get on to their www site and see if i can track anything down.. If i can then i will print it out and keep it in my car for an emergency.

I still remember when I first bought my VS V8 Commodore.. Did absolutly nothing wrong was babying it home and I was pulled over. I was 19 at the time.

Is this your car? "yes" ok where the stash spot? "wtf?? what stash spot" they then proceded to stick their hand in the back of my glove box and push everything out on to the floor.. I wasn't a smart arse either that is what i couldn't work out.... he made me so pissed and held me up for 30 mins going over the car. Didn't defect me luckly as the only thing wrong with it is that it was a little low as it had bilstein adj. shocks and lowered suspension so that the guards sat roughly 1 1/2 fingers about the 16" VR GTS mags.. raaaaaaaaaa ... I'll make a new post when i get some info...

[PHAT 33]

spewen about ur defected dude. Watch with your teins cause your not allowed to have adjustable suspension cause they know you will lower it straight after careful cause they are known to weld a pipe on to stop you lowering the car .

GOOD LUCK!
