Defects On The Rise

[Sambo33]

ive had my car for a bit over 3 years, ive always had a 3.5 inch straight through exhaust (recently found it had no cat so i got one fitted), its also lowered with a full bodykit. i count ive been pulled over about 3 or 4 times since ive owned it and no defects as yet, just lucky i guess

I've had my gtr since november last year and havnt been defected or pulled over for speeding, been pulled over once by a 'non traffic cop' and he said if he was a traffic cop i would defect you for your front suspention which i have no idea why, its miles away from the ground so i was just lucky he wasnt a traffic cop. Been through an alco station and nothing doing in there either. while back was 'cruising' down anzac with an unmarked cop 'cruising' next to me, just looking across at eachother, i was being sensible, they were checking out the car every chance they got but nothing, was accelerating from the lights as usual, sitting just above the speed limit (but so where they) and nothing. guess its just the luck of the draw really, they want to defect you, they will, no matter what, guess its just the cops ya get pulled over by and if they are in a good mood or not, not that that matters, they will probly defect you anyways.

^^ so true i got pulled over one night after spinning the wheels (in my GTS4) i proceded to tell him its AWD and they dont spin the wheels (least not mine) but he proceded to say dont argue i know what i saw, mind you i got pulled over after he witnesed a VN ROAR past me doing oh say almost 100 and some other heap of rubbish, suffice to say he let me go with a warning cause he asked me if i had been in any trouble with the law before and i said yes and he asked what... long story short he said if my story checks out he will let me go

Got waved through a defect station on rundle street few nights ago... the cop seemed friendly enough, asked me if this was a 34, if it was an awd gtr, i said yeah it's a 34 but just a gtt. he just said nice, checked that i had rego and let me go. A WRX and a convertible peogeot was pulled over before me and defected. so i guess it's just pot luck as to who gets defected.

Sorry to hear. Looks like you need to do a fair bit to get it back to stock which will be a pain in the arse. Hope it goes alright.

Yeah matty just read, sucks!

I was in an RBT few weeks back and the cop started going over my car, pointed out my rims and how they sit outside my guards - ws thinking i was done for then! So the cop just proceeds to tell me not to park next to gutters cos i wouldnt want to scratch them lol.

Guess i got lucky.

Been defected already in the skyline, week after i bought her, that was a pain i dont want to go through again!

I went through an RBT at the bay late last year on my way home from a karting dinner with my old man in th car. Was in my DR30. Drivers window wasn't working at the time so had to open the door very obviously revealing my half cage. My screamer pipe was leaking a little bit at the time as well. Car is pretty much low as you can go. Cop commented on the trophies on my back seat that i had won for my years racing. Let me go when the reading was all clear.

Just gotta be lucky sometimes.

Well what a nice police officer to make such an assumption.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

[Bl4cK32]

My luck ran out last Thursday night when we drove up to Newcastle to see the Pasha Bulka.

A massive defect station was set up and hundreds of cars were checked. (I won't be too cynical and say they were primarily checking the mod'd cars cause I'm guessing you would have already gathered that was the case).

I have a relatively stock car - exhust, wheels, enclosed pod etc.

One cop was genuinely helpful and explained the what and why- he said if I had an engineer sign off on my wheels & pod and paid the $700 odd for a track noise test then I would be left alone. I have now decided to take this course of action as I won't be stopped cruising and doing what I enjoy!

However, the other cop (W*nker) asked "Why do we (modders) need to change a perfectly good car" " Did I know the manufacturers put a lot of design into the cars" Blah, Blah Blah.

I asked him if he bought Levi's jeans or shopped at Target. He got the message, but unfortunately I think this kind of cop is the majority in the Highway Patrols.

All I can say is if you want to modify your car do it, but be prepared to pay for an engineers report and lets beat them at their own game!

[jurule]

my car is kitted, exhaust, window tint, wheels but i havent been pulled over yet???

am i doing something wrong??????????????

.....thats an easy one....you're female.

[*flick*]

haha that aint always true.. i been pulled over several times, defected twice (once in skyline, once in my 05 lancer - yes they defected that lol). Tried tears and denial, still got defected lol

^ And it depends where and how she's driving. I've been on the road for 10 years now, in cars with various states of modification and never been pulled over for "inspection" once. I have been pulled into bretho's and let go too.. So just depends on 80% luck, and the rest common sense for driving I say.
