The Defected Thread...


Cubes

Recommended Posts

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.

Yeah bud, that's me. Drive sensibly most of the time & was kinda annoyed cos I didn't actually see them for once either. I normally notice the unmarked cars but for some reason I didn't see this one :-(

Neil will defect you no matter what you do.

Another funny thing was that he asked me if I'd come from Vili's just after he pulled me over so he knows all about the friday night meet too :-/

Yeah...I did realise that :P

and Im pretty sure cops and regency troll this thread and forum. I mean if your job was a cop and you had a chip on your shoulder about 'hoons', wouldn't this be the first place you'd check?

Just an observation and comment

Everything you post on here, including broadcasting what other illegal mods he's missed, can be read by anybody, Be wary of stirring the hornet's nest and creating an even more frenzied attack on the Skyline community. My wife and I hold our breath everytime we see a cop car while out in the Skyline. I've even pulled to the right at an intersection to let a cop car squeeze past get around a corner on my left and got a friendly wave back. Obviously I wasn't in Glenelg.

Mentioning a certain importers name to a certain officer may not do much good, as he is the one who showed a certain officer what to look for ; the justification being that the "educated" officer only defected you for illegal things not just what he thinks might be illegal. So if he finds your boost controller, consider yourself done. Also this guy has been put into a car by SAPOL and told to "go out and get 'em". He's doing a very good job, apparently.

It's good that those who get defected post it here so we know the current hotspot. It's a bit like speed camera locations.

If Glenelg is the current haunt then I will avoid that area in my Skyline. I wouldn't even ride my sport bike to Glenelg as police there are, or at least were, hot on bikes as well.

Here's an example from a workmate. An officer ran over to his bike before he hardly even got his helmet off and defected him for having a fender eliminator kit on his bike. He was also told "we don't want you lot down here" - referring to motorcyclists. From what I was told, that was a wish of the local Mayor.

Hmmm

I must tether those pod filters.

Thanks for your comments mate but I never posted anything about what he missed if u were referring to me, just that there's a bit to do before i take the car through Regency. I'm generally always pretty friendly with cops considering I do/did want to be one one day so this was just unlucky on behalf.

yeah about the glenelg thing I was followed for ages by an unmarked with his high beams on in my 32. then when i parked next to a park he went around the block a couple of times and looked at my car. So ridiculous cause my mate in his 4age corolla which is louder than my car and he was driving much faster than i was (i was doing speed limits everywhere) and going through round abouts pretty quickly wasn't even looked at. You would thin that they would have something better to do.......

Unfortunately if you drive and import on the road these days you will be targeted, It sucks and some of the lucky ones manage to steer clear of trouble. But if your car has modifications to it deemed illegal then you will be defected.

I was driving behind a mate down Tapleys hills rd with an un engineered 25 in his 32 with plenty of other stuff, seen a ve commodore fly out of a back street after us we were both driving sensible but I got pulled over and defected for the usual (from officer Neil). My car had been looked at plenty of times from the po po but nothing until that day.

I was also told when he defected me that they (police) do get on here and read up on things.

They do seem to be getting smarter, have had cops in the past look at my car & pretty much only warn me about how low it is, had an undercover go through my whole car & almost try to do me for my skinny spare saying it wasn't the correct spare tyre for me to have. He ended up just warning me bout my driver's seat being apparently loose even though he shook the shit out of it to come to this conclusion :P This Neil bloke def knew what & where to look, he even shone his torch @ my turbo to see if it looked any different from stock. There's plenty of other things that I think they should be doing with their time though...

In all fairness if your car looks rediculois I.e wheels protruding the guards massive cannon and low then you prob deserve to be defected, my exhaust is fair massive so I'm getting rid of it as I belive it's the reason why I was pulled over even if they didn't ask me to rev it or anything so unless your good at keepin your car looking stock etc then it's only a matter of time, fingers crossed I don't get pulled over anymore so goodbye boost controller, huge exhaust and computer, everything else is legal on the car

Ya see comments like that can anger people pretty good hey, I didn't deserve to be pulled over & I don't appreciate comments like that. Is it my fault that I wanted a bit of time & effort put into my car to make it look good?! Apart from it sitting a tad low my car isn't too loud & my rims are stock from a 350Z. I don't think anyone really "deserves" to be defected unless your driving out there & being a complete dick :angry:

Yeah well I'm definitely not denying that that's for sure. I got T boned when my car was black so I got the brighter colour so idiot drivers could see me a bit better :P

A lot of us do drive like dicks at times, if you saw a commodore pull out of a sidestreet and hang the back out for no reason doing 80 in a 60 you would laugh when he got defected. Even if it was 11pm on a Tuesday with no one around.

When you are honestly doing nothing and get done then I can see where the anger comes from.

    • As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.
    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
