Well on the way home from the Foo Fighters concert in Melbourne a few weeks back got defected on the way home by an asshole Vic cop for "bald tyres" however I explained to him that on the Friday (he did me on Sunday) I rang around for my tyres and they couldn't get me in till Monday. He didn't give a shit and did me. Hence to get the interstate defect lifed, full inspection. Cost an arm and a leg, made my ass so so sore but here I am at the other end finally!

sorry mate, but bald tyres are bald tyres, u should have got new tyres on before u let them become illegal, if u cant u shouldnt drive. u obviously dont realise how much shit is spilt to them on regular occasions, so they just cant take ur word for it. saying that, a full inspection for tyres is pretty stupid as its a minor defect, whats the deal with having to go full inspection because it was interstate?

i thought when you get defected interstate it doesnt matter when your back in adelaide? my mates s2000 got defected here in adelaide and when he got back to sydney, defects from adelaide dont meen nothing. the people at cop shop in sydney just told him to rip of the defect sticker.

nisskid, the tyres were hardly bald, I agree that they were in need of changing, hence why I arranged for it but no where in the realm of illegal

keitz, apparently to get the rego changed from whatever state to SA, the defects must be lifted first... pile of shit I know but that's that....

  • 6 months later...

UPDATE:

im back, after a long break. decided to keep the car, cant sell it on defect for 1 and 2, ppl that were going to buy it were offering me what i felt was bullshit just because it has a sticker on it.

The car needs the following done then im back on cruises (after regency)

Stock suspension

Stock exhaust

Stock turbo heat shield

Decent rubber

+and a nifty way to hide braided water and oil lines going to my turbo -ideas anyone?

above all i need time. working 70h a week is good for buying shit but its shit to get things done.

I'm also ordering a different intercooler that uses the stock return holes from the standard intercooler, hoping this will also add more to hide the turbo and things around that area.

then of course after that i can finally put all my performance shit on and get a tune, something that i been waiting for, for over a freaking year.

got work now, speak soon!.

    • Hi. a little later but if the topic is here. So...the exhaust is the same and you can use 25/Turbo or any aftermarket? What about intake side? Is it too "plug n play" or? (i do not remember for 100% but i think that one intake to head gasket was little bit different than on the RB25 - i bought gasket kit way back) I know that even if it "plug" those butterfly swirls would cause ECU to be confused or?   Just asking for the info 🙂 and of course the RB25 things are easier to come by

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
