Well as much as i love my car iv apparently done something wrong to the cops, defecting me for the second time in less then 2 years.. Pay rego for it to sit in the garage collecting dust..

Well here is the sitcho. Well i got defected where else but chapel st, but befor you say u stupid c*** asif do chapel laps.. i wasnt, i live near there and i was goin to rebel sport at like 3pm during day.

ok so here is the damage:

Parcel shelf - inspect for structural integrity(previous owner cut holes for 6x9's)

Bumper Bar - inspect for structural integrity

Pod or intercooler, not both.

Windscreen - to be inspected

Tyre placard - to be fitted

So i got my stock airbox and windscreen has nothing wrong with it, think he just felt like writing more that day. But the big problem im having is "Inspect for structural integrity" went to the mechanics today and the guy said i have to get engineers to have a look at it :P... well just wanted to know if this is correct and if it is dose anyone know were and how much this is going to cost me???

Thanks for reading

I had to get checked for structural integrity when my car was being repaired.

Its not a big deal really, cost me $100 and an hour of my time. Brought the car to the engineer along with photos of the repair project, he looked at the chassis and a few other things and signed a piece of paper.

did you repair it your self?? or did you have the engineer repair it??

Repaired by my old man and uncle and then taken to the engineer for approval. Actual cost was $138.40. Took four hours from an accredited workshop. No big deal really.

dude being defected for the second time in less than 2 years is not alot, i would call that being pretty lucky.

try being defected 2 times in 3 weeks!!!!

and as for what u wer defected for, they are no major problems, wen u start getting sent for epa emmisions tests then u know u got a problem

lol my old datto got 13 defects and i didnt even let them get under the bonnet to see the 230hp z18et in there lol

some people get all the luck lol

    • The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it
    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
