Demisters should be fine. I only needed to pick at the corner to get the tint up enough for me to pick at with my finger and peel off the rest of the way so didnt need the blade to go anywhere near the lines. But yea, I cant believe it was so easy and I was going to pay $110 to have it removed!

so are u keeping it or selling it after getting it off defect???

so if a COP PULLS UP BEHIND U AND RUNS YOUR PLATES THROUGH HIS COMPUTER WILL IT SAY THAT YOUR CAR HAS BEEN "DEFECTED" IN THE PAST???

so are u keeping it or selling it after getting it off defect???

Decided I'd keep it... wanted to sell it because I was annoyed at it and couldnt be stuffed anymore but after calming down I cant let go of it just yet just because some cop doesnt like Skylines. :P

Was given a written warning the other day for my factory MOMO wheel in the MX5 because "apparently i didnt have the ADR certificate with me. next time he said "it will be off to regency with you young man"

Its a factory wheel FFS. on a side not he didn't look twice at the fixed back so i cant really complain

has everyone who has been defected by this twat gone and made a complaint? its benneficial that you do

are you for real

what are you going to say in the complaint um "to the body that be please reprimand Niel for defecting my car because it didn't adhere to ADR's just because i think he doesn't like skylines"

GROW UP people

im sick of hearing about Neil this and Neil that, he is only doing his job and the more you guys bag him the more fuel you add to the already ablaze fire, act like men and cop it on the chin fix whats defectable and MOVE on

i was referring to mechanical mods in the above post ;)

seen plenty of engine bay pics from members in various threads... always chrome bits n pieces with colour coded silicone joiners and painted stuff... what do you expect when a cop lifts the bonnet :P

only seen a couple stealth bays... that is not to say a lot more people aren't doing it tho.

are you that dumb? or just arrogant?

he is not following the correct methods of defecting, whatever happened to police actualy measuring things and testing sound level??? you are more than within your rights to make a complaint if the officer in question isnt following guidelines and you felt you have been unfairly dealt with..... for example "illegal air filter" that is BS, so make a complaint about it, its police harrasment.

so if your done carrying on like a 12 yr old can we get back to the topic?

agree 100%.

complain enough and his chances of promotion / advancement within the force is NIL

Rocky & Vu should be making a formal complaint IMHO

Unfortunately, he is for real Steve.

I've reversed a few mods myself, as I'm not a fan of not having my Stagea. I've been pulled over a few times now in it and I've been lucky. Whilst the mods are only minimal (pod filter, boost gauge), it did come to the attention of Neil. He let me off and gave me a chance to reverse some of those mods, which I have done. Take the hint guys.

The cops are all over Hanson Road, pulling over any car ... not singling out imports. Any car. Drive a blatantly defectable/unsafe car, or hoon around, expect to be noticed.

Old japanese saying: "Nail that stands out in floor, is first to be hit with hammer."

beleive it or not but complaints do actually get dealt with, within the police, so it is worth the 20 minutes of your time to make the formal complaint. its a little bit of paper, no lawyers, no court fee's just a simple a4 bit of paper that carry's alot of weight within the force

The nail that sticks out gets hammered - Tokyo Drift.

It is an actual saying, not a movie quote. Heard it when I lived in japan ... so it must be authentic! :D

I won't take anyone's side here but reading through some of the posts about this Neil fella, I don't recall reading anything that he has done that wouldn't be within the parameters of the law.

At the end of the day, he only needs to suspect that you have a vehicle that doesn't comply with ADR's or emissions and within his power can pull you over. He doesn't have to measure anything either, to send you to Regency.

Based on the little that I've read in regards to his methods (and I know he's become a nemesis to many of you), one complaint alone to his sarg (cause he's only a conny) without any substantiated evidence of ill treatment towards any of you, will end up either in their shredder or bathroom for when they run out of toilet rolls.

A few harsh words from a copper may hurt your feelings but will hardly get him a reprimand, let alone off the force!

30 years ago you would've copped a boot up the ass from him as part of the deal, lol.

If you drive a non compliant vehicle and they eventually catch up with you, smile and cop it on the chin cause it was good while it lasted.

no doubt Rhys, but it may fall on deaf ears unfortunately.

If all of you that have had experiences with him had a similar outcome and feel justified in pursuing it, get together and go and see your local MP first.

By following proper channels you'll have a bigger voice.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
