The Defected Thread...

[dunn]

got defected for track and a turbo timer the other night which sucks, just wondering why the hell a turbo timer is defectable? anyone know? i mean they add absolutely no perfomance and they come out standard in trucks.

[teak]

I think its because they believe its unsafe to have your car engine running whilst not having to have a key in the ignition, i.e. a car whose engine is running that is unattended and unable to be turned off immediatly if required.

I am not sure why this is a problem mate, just what Ive heard.

[cheegar]

Anyone know if this ACL heat shield material is defectable or has anyone gone through with it and passed?

turbo timers are useless in passenger cars.

learn how to drive easily for a few kilometres or idle your car for 30-60 seconds when you park. not that hard.

its been covered about 4,000 times why theyre not legal. just search for 'turbo timer'.

[dunn]

yeah i heard something along those lines also

hey guys my mate just got defected (regency), hes got a pretty nuts chaser and were looking at his options now. if you could help out with providing maybe a chaser forum you know or sumone willing to lend sum parts will be awesome.

this is wat the car has:

forged motor

t67 turbo

external gate

greddy emanage

blitz electronic boost controller

full origin body kit with vented front guards

all around greddy coilovers

reclinable bucket seat

these are just some of the major things that we think aint gonna let the car pass

the car is immaculate so hes pretty devo and its too nice to turn it into a track car.

[typevu]

What options are there? Remove all the visibly defectable parts, make sure all bushings and suspension components are A1, good tread, battery secured, exhaust quiet... an so forth.

[silver zed]

hes just not sure on costs of having to buy stocko parts to put on. so were thinking of maybe selling it as is or swapping it for sumthin he can use cuz hes sick of it being defected.thats if we cant find ne1 2 maybe lend out sum parts.

go to a few importers or import wreckers, most are willing to help out with lending parts

Or if you can't/don't want to do it yourself. Take it down to a place like Sinergy or JMS and get them to take the car off defect for you

thus is true. cost a mate $1200 to get synergy to get his car past regency and it was VIRTUALLY stock. its costly but you knw the car will come back in one piece and past first time evrytime.

i personally would use JMS. synergy just rip ppl off

[heslo]

Only cost me $800 and there was a fair bit to do on mine... each to their own but whoever you go with, atleast you know it's their problem to pass it; not yours

[craig132]

they shouldnt. neither are performance or structural mods - both are for engine longevity.
