The Defected Thread...

[SkyHi_33]

well considering they make you do the full lights check before they look at the car... easy to spot!

[shorty_01]

Minor defect = Police station inspection

Major defect = full vehicle inspection

its up the the issuing officers discretion if the vehicle is to be towed away at the car owners expense or not.

yeah that what i was thinkging Minor = police inspection, but i was granted to go to regency despite the fact it was listed minor on green slip.

My car was imported this year so xenon was removed piror compliance. However i put them back in as xenon lights are non the doubt have great performance at night. The fact that i was trying to get across was the i pointed to the cop that xenons were made factory from nissan and pointed n showed him the XENON enblem(in a polite non smartass manner), he just went NO NO nissan never made them factor, therefore illigal. (he stuttered but didnt wanna look like a goob infront of his apprentice)

overall no dramas, defected i was.. but ey.... at least im not in the postion of the CEFIRO driver lol

thanks all for ya feedback n all.

anyone have information on half cages and getting a car registered as a 2 seater?

going through regency and thinking of changing it to a 2 seater when it passes

[scandyflick]

gotta remove all the seatbelt bolts (and the belts and winders and shit, obviously) and permanently plug the holes, remove all of the back seat, then have it approved.

yeah ive heard that much

can it be any bolt in half cage?

or is there some kind of "adr" compliant one that has to be used

/waits for Chad

[scandyflick]

fairly sure its anything as long as its properly mounted and shit. all bars have to be padded and 100mm behind the seat when the seat is its further most position or some shit though.

What Dave said, Think it has to 100-150mm from your head/body when the seat is all the way back on the slide in an upright driving position. Most bolt in cages sit to far forward from what i have seen, mine included. Edited March 14, 2010 by DSTROY

Spend the money and get one built to be legal, shouldn't cost that much.

For those people who have a hicas lock bar and worried about getting through regency. U could buy a non hicas subframe and get rid of it all together u would only need toe arms. Pretty easy for a workshop to change and would never have to worry about hicas again.

I have both a non hicas subframe and toe arms for sale btw

Common sense

[DamageInc]

wont they see that the car was ment to come with hicas though and subsequently fail it?

Or put washers in your standard one to lock it up, looks totally standard and my car passed regency no probs
