The Defected Thread...

[siba33]

Sounds like he might have been the one who did me last Friday, bald, slightly overweight guy?

edit: N Hastie was the name on the fine, same guy?

yeah his name is neil and he know iron chef (kristan) didnt help that i know kristan though thought itmay have helped. my gfs grandpa is the ex police commisioner (peter alexander) but i didnt know how to say i knew and see him reguarly to help the situation out, ohwell herd this guy has a hard on for people all over glenelg do 1km over the limit and your sure to get pulled over by him. funny how the cops were fighting over who was going to give me the defect...

[ovrtym33]

none because he said i wasnt a wanker about it and i played his game - truth or dare - fair wierdo if you ask me, didnt even know what he was looking at half the time, straight past all the ebc shit under the bonnet...

ahaha yeh he is a dumb bastard, threatened with all these fines then acted like a smartass, i had a big gt30 topmount and he looked at everything in my engine bay and said everything looks STOCK here ahahh

hahaha so whats the deal if you actual put all the stuff back on and he does see me again and pulls me over?? im not going to put the boost controller or the power fc controller back in the cockpit so that should keep a bit of attention away?

They check gloveboxes and engine bays, centre console, ashtray.. its pretty hard to keep a street legal car without totally compromising.

I've built mine for 100% street legality over the years (Got over mid 5 figure reciepts on labour and parts so I'm no dodgy backyard rambo mechanic) but I imagine I'll be pulled over by an ignorant cop one day. Most of them, 99% of them I would imagine, are excellent (I've been pulled over twice, rego/licence/breath tested and then sent on my way without a hassle) however its only the 1%'ers you hear about (heh - bikies and cops - whod have thunk it?)

If you think you're unfairly targeted, make sure your car is as roadworthy as possible then challenge it via the CAA amd the police ethics board....

Oh btw you'd need a LOAD of disposable cash to pay for lawyers - or you are amazingly vindictive and dont mind bankrupting yourself to own the system

either way you lose. welcome to rannistan

lol rann has done loads of top stuff for SA and pretty sure he has changed nothing on the police side of things.

[ovrtym33]

the stupid thing is when i had my Skyline i was getting pulled at a rate of once every 2 weeks sometimes evenmore whilr driving to wrok at 3.30 am down torrens never once was i questioned about my car or was looked over for defects just a license check n rego check told them where i was going n they were fine, but as soon as i drive home in daylight while driving normal i get pilled over n drfected

URGENT! hey guys I got 0 hours to drive the car so to get my car to a workshop etc can I just drive it or do I have to go into a police station or what? Bit confused cheers

[Krishy]

If you still have rego on it, than from what I understand is that you can only drive it to a place of repair and back.If you have no reggo left, than you will need to organise day permits to drive the vehicle on the road. Last time I had to get a permit they ask you for the roads that you will be taking and if you get caught on a road not mentioned in the permit than you are going to be impounded and reamed.

Call the regency hotline for a 100% correct answer, but if it is still registered you are allowed to drive it to a place of repair.

[siba33]

so my car went through regency today, was completly stock off the show room standard but it still didnt pass, apparently controll arm bushes have wear on them (is this even a problem?) and there was a split on the cv boot wich it had went it went through regency earlier in the year to get plates and was never a problem then!! so is this bullshit or what? anyone else had this issue??

[Rolls]

Everyone who goes through with non brand new bushes and boots gets done for them.

Every single person.

but they are standard nissan bushes and boots.....

They aren't brand new and hence have mild tears and cracks in them, hence they are are not compliant.

+1 - if thats all they got you for, you'd be laughin'.

And once you replace those items I'm sure you'll be impressed how much firmer your ride is

Sucks to be charged a 2nd time by regency. That is simply wrong (considering all the tax us road users already pay)

[rubzy]

Got defected last night on West Terrace. Did me for turbo timer, boost controller & exhaust too low to the ground. Got a bit more than that to fix before I go through regency & like a lot of ppl I wasn't driving like an idiot.

Think I might have got this Neil bloke ppl have talked about but he put his partners name on the form so not sure, was definitely a pom though.

[R33 Sleeper]

Are you mr rb? If so, saw them pull you over, I saw that they were following you and could sense that they were going to pull you over, was kust hoping that you spotted the unmarked car behind you and continue to drive sensibly, which you did, unlucky but.
