I got bored......

Premium sports package actually.

On a serious side, a daily driver/run around is probably the best way to avoid defects full stop.

I know its not feasable for alot of people but even to buy a $500 shitter and run it into the ground can save you a lot more in the long run should you get fined.

Hey guys , I hate to say it but the police are a necessary evil , the have a job to do , and some make it harder for them .

I have been pulled over several times and had both good and bad cops , some with a great attitude and others just looking for an excuse to give you an ass kicken !

I think when some people get pulled over , at that point in time they may have been doing nothing wrong , but in the past have brought attention to themselves and gained a reputation !

I knew a guy who had his 180sx impounded for drifting , when he got the car back he was getting pulled over left right and centre ! He sold the car to buy a late model BMW , once the police found out he owned it , same thing again ! I think everyone has a valid point to make !

Tell that to the cops who pull me over for no apparent reason to defect me because i drive a skyline.

same here...i did a uturn (not illegal) and they pulled me over....they were undercover...then told me follow them to defecting station under orangegrove

I agree 100% :D

My r31 has had its ups and downs...but cheap to run, no one ever looks at it and I can leave it anywhere!!

From my expirience with the cops No.

Got defected a few years ago, and a few months ago got pulled over for a RBT, cop checked his computer and said i got defected a while back, Then he asked what i got defected for (it was for my exhaust and pod). I lied and told him it was for having bold tires, he then breath tested me and went onhis way

I dont think there system tells them exactly what the defect was for.

Cheers

ahh defects....

i jus got my defects cleared after this highway patrol coppa got me on a full inspection blue slip for bald front tyres, no h pattern on the gear stick and bov.

took a while to fix, car rego got cancelled and finally today got the rego back and now all sweet.

i was jus drivin normally to a mates place and he let about 10 cars drive past him, lancer with a zorts, old bomb corolla, shity pulsar, and a worked up 200 bright yellow with massive rims, let them all go except me, i was the only one he pulled over...

i closed my mouth didnt say a word, was nice, polite, didnt give him shit nuffin

but still gave me a full inspection....

cops do what they like when they like, i think defects come with the car, gotta learn to live wit em

i agree 100% get a run around, lil swift or sumtin, ull save money on petrol too !!!!

on that note, anyone selling a bomb, for under 1000 ???

if so pm me lol

I'd like to know what happens if u get defected and you haven't fixed those defects within the required period.

Is it only a concern if you get pulled over by the Police? I just got defected 4 bald rear tyres and am curious

Cops can radio the station and ask for your details if they aren't finding something about you on their in-car database. I've seen them do it. They have a wealth of personal information at their fingertips.

So lying isn't really a good idea. Just play dumb and innocent, it might get you a better mood from the cop than "bend over time!", get me?

I can confirm that the police can not bring up specific details in car. All they get is 'Defect Notice. Issued (Date)' roughly and that's about it... Doesn't say that you got defected for this or that, just says that you were defected.

    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
