Hey guys,

Posting this for some info for a mate who got defected the other week. He has to get the car inspected by QLD transport now. On the back of the fine it says "A QLD transport authorised officer ... is to clear the defect notice and remove the defective vehicle label."

Does this mean the only things QLD transport are legally allowed to check are the defects listed on his fine? And if they can look for other defects, does that mean that anything they find will allow them to leave the defective label on the car?

He has called up QLD Transport and QLD Police but they give you a different answer every time. Useless.

Any help much appreciated guys.

Chris.

They can look at other things on the car that they might classify as defects depending on how much they stand out i guess.You can just get the car unregistered then they cant inspect it then.But he would have to get a roadworthy again but with someone who might turn a blind eye to the defect depending on how bad of a defect they are.

That loop whole has changed. Defect now has to be cleared (signed off as being fixed) even if you de rego then re rego with new RWC. In short if he doesn’t go get it cleared the Police will eventfully come after you, or just pwne you harder If they caught you driving it outside of the time frame given to have it cleared. This even goes for when you sell it. Get a defect, do the sly and de rego and sell with no RWC, new owner will be flagged at Queensland Transport when trying to get it re rego’d

my advice to ya mate is to look over the car and if he sees something that he is unsure about then i would remove it. unfortunetly he is branded by the cops so if he does something stupid again then they'll be harder on him next time. it has happened to a mate of mine, so after the first time he got caught, we keeped the stuff they got him for and just put it back on the car so he would be clear the insecption. unfortunetly thats how it goes.

OK, i asked my uncle on the weekend about defects.

anything that isn't stock standard on the car, DEFECT!!

that includes mag wheels, if they wanna get nasty.

so remember anything on ur automobile that isn't standard when it was brand new is a defectable item.

altho no points can be demerited for having a defected car.

and he said your run of the mill copper, wouldn't kno evrything about defective items.

but if ur pulled over by the dept of trans, ur screwed.

an a cop can't pull you over for defecting, unless they are possitive it's not standard for the car.

You can change mag wheels etc as long as they are in compliance with the QLD transport rules. IE they dont increase rolling diameter or width by X amount etc.

My 19 inch 235/35ZR19s are legal, however 245/40/ZR19s wouldnt be on my R34GTT

omy he is wrong then, you can be fined 75 bucks and 1 point for a defect or 300 odd (thats right right guys?) and 3 points for a major defect, They can now also send you to court and impound your car if they want and get caught and sent to court 4 times in 3 years and your car is gone. And cops can pull you over for defects if they chose, just the majority prefer to try to hide the fact they are and go for the random breath test or licence check instead

      I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible.

      I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.

      I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
