What a great start to the new years.

Defected this morning for:

- EBC

- Non Standard Air Filter (covered)

Classed as "Major Defect".

First Officer pulled me over, me driving normally not making a noise, requested license and jump out then said to pop my bonnet. He looked around found the boost solenoid but wasnt too sure, saw the airbox told me to take it off so he could see the air filter but the pod filter/airbox is fitted down tightly cant remove without tools. He calls in for a second Officer, guess who - Officer Neil! He came and looked into the engine bay straight away saw the boost solenoid and said theres a controller somewhere in the cabin - that was it. He said the air filter is fine aslong as its mounted securely but the first Officer defected it for being non standard air filter and being covered.

Thats F@$KED UP!!! if i were you i would remove the EBC and take it to a local cop shop (not the Port Adelaide one) and tell them about the air filter and they may take the defect off for you, and try to do it today if you can, its worth a try.

[CRoNic...]

vu,the air filter defect is bullshit. If the pod is secured,then there's no issue! It can be covered or uncovered. May i ask which suburb did you get defected at?

Sorry to hear VU your car is seriously clean, goes to show it doesn't matter what condish your car is in only needs to be an import. What size boost solenoid are you running Dual Stage Blitz? Officer Neil strikes again what a legend

Hanson Road; he saw me as he was coming out from a side street and I guess he was set on defecting me for something so he pulled me over about 100m down.

Officer Neil was the nice one out of the two. The other guy was a good cop too but I think he'd already made up his mind to defect as soon as he saw the Skyline drive past to be calling in Officer Neil to confirm what to defect.

Fantastic! Sorry to hear buddy, this really has gone out of control now!

Pauly, I don't think you'll pass with those lines, do they go to an aftermarket turbo? If so, the turbo has to go too sadly

I know of a bloke running a Gizzmo IBC EBC and the actuator is quite compact and easy to put in an appropriate area out of the way. I will keep my thoughts on officers pulling people over for no good reason to myself me thinks.

I was going fishing around 6am this morn. on grand junction. see a cop come out of hanson. i turn of down a street. I come back out and notice this officer has done a U turn.

He saw me from 34534 kms away.

Anyway he was on the other side of the road this time and just looked at me and kept going.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

[Pauly33GTS-t]

that SUCKS vu, seriously. maybe since the cops dont defect dogshit looking 1980's cars with black smoke popping out at random times we should follow the UK wank factor of applying the "rat-look" to our cars...

the defect deal in this town is out of hand, does anyone know if its public record to find out what % of cars are jap imports by model etc?

and which officer and cop shop office is creating the regency que up ?

[CRoNic...]

freedom of speech,but i'd doubt they'd release it! And they wouldn't release it to any joe blow of the public. Maybe if a minister requested it?
