The Defected Thread...

[RubyRS4]

wow.... so what can you do from here??

obviously you have proof that the key was in one piece on arrival!!

i can see this going on for a while

Thats just wrong.

Wow the f**k can you accidentally break a key in half?

[Rolls]

It is plausible that they key had a crack and broke off with no effort at all, but they still didn't own up to it and offer any assistance which is the real kicker.

i was done on the night i got my skyline( with my p plates) was done at the bay for fog lights my turbo timer and boost gauge where nicely lite up blue and clearly visable and the cop even looked at it but decided to give me a warning. not saying anything about the mysterious blue light, i was amazed once they left i noticed they parked about 50meters away asif waiting for me

all in all very lucky

Just got out of Regency - went by quite nicely I must say. The guy wasnt too thorough and was quite friendly. Even had a couple other inspectors pop over to checks out the GTR and even asked a few questions... one of them about the baseball bat in the back seat which is a steering wheel lock in the shape of one lol

Failed for R/H and L/H front top control arm bushes - understandable, the wheels wobbled like they were going to fall off haha

steering back boot split - easy fix

No defect issued and only the failed items will be re-checked.

Hopefully Boostworx comes through with the goods tomorrow as they said so I can fit them up for my re-inspection on Friday!

If not Auto Parts Professionals can get them in that day for you. They got front upper inner and outer nolathane R32 GTS-T bushes in that day when I called up, took about 4 hours for them to get delivered, not to mention they were cheaper than anyone else I called.

They are on main north road next door to city dismantlers and their number is 8260 2044

[typevu]

Awesome, cheers for that Rolls! Will give them a call if Boostworx falls through.

[Madaz]

Had the re-inspection today... passed but this inspector discovered a couple things the previous inspector didnt but because it is a re-inspection he couldnt add more things to the list to send me away again so he passed me. I replaced the bushings on the upper control arm as told but there was still play in the front driver's side and it was coming from the knuckle ball joint thing... and it had un-tagged braided brake lines(non-ADR approved).

That was good of them to not make you come back. I've heard stories of being going back 3-4x

I had a similar issue where they noticed play in the wheel, put it down as wheel bearings but it was in fact hicas arms, was lucky the mechanic picked it up.

Had my car defected tonight at the new Gepps Cross Shopping Centre, was a car cruise, was doing nothing silly, cops swarmed in and went over everyones cars. I got done for a Boost controller unit that isn't even plumbed up/connected or anything, exhuast too loud, exhaust flap silencer, ride height 20mm under legal height on rear, front was ok, coilover suspension, pod filter. Total $681 fine, but because i have the car registered with 2 names between me and another member in my family as joint drivers, the officer tells me they will also receive a $681 fine. Thats rediculous i say. So here it goes to get the car ready to go through regency, anyone got anyways to help me out. Much appreciated

[Rolls]

$681!!! what the f**k since when is getting defected a fine able offence?

[Dohmar]

$681!!! what the f**k since when is getting defected a fine able offence?

Im dumbfounded. I would fight this in the court. Theres no way they can make two people pay the same price for the one minor offence.

-D

[Matty 31]

ummm

breaches of ADRs (which normally are why you get defected) have fines that MAY be attached.

obviously got a cop on his rags

[Madaz]

how on earth does a car have 2 REGISTERED drivers.... maybe INSURED drivers but not registered

[DSTROY]

Me and my girlfriend own a jeep and on the rego we are joint owners/drivers.
