bought my new car lastnight.....

pulled out of the dudes street....

highway patrol pulls me over.....

defect for bold tyres.....

has to be a record with that one haha less then a minute of owning the car and i get defected haha

at least it was only a cop shop though :thumbsup: the cop was very chill and i know he could have done more if he wanted but didnt

also gave me 120hours to drive the car. i thought the most you could get was 72? either way i bought new tyers and the cars off defect :P

think that might be the record, i think it was mac dog that was done within the first few minutes of buying his daily.

did u get off defect stewy??

and also you can get a fine when u get defected

it is called, breach of ADR's and the fine is bout $210, not fun when u get it every time you get defected

nah will be going through next week for a 2nd inspection, then on goes straight throughy zorst, 30mm spacers all round on my 17x9 +24's, drop it on its arse and take it to all japan day lol

Just hope that you dont get defected there again stewy

Had a lucky one today! Got pulled into a random licence check station near the Village, then get asked to pull off to the side.

Cop asked me to pop the bonnet and prepare for a roadworthy inspection, i nearly shat! As Krishy and Chad know, nothing is hidden in my engine bay! Open pod filter, boost controler solenoid, atmo catch can, intercooler and not the quietest exhaust. Both the cops were really nice guys, and surprisingly the older one knew what stuff was! Quick check around the car, asked about BOV (std plumback), bit of chit chat about the car then i was sent on my way!

My views of SAPOL have now changed :)

Missus reckons i've got the gift of the gab :(

Good to hear James. They're not as bad as you'd think. :(

haha i like ur stylez lol

and yeh who cares if you get done again, just dont bitch like everyone else on sau does when the get defected

what area you live in ?

the young cops around here are stuck up and they take it out on the younger drivers for unrealistic things :D

i live in port noarlunga but was pulled over in glenelg where i picked the car up from,

the cop was a champ!

hey guys,

my sa regoed 32 just got defected in melbourne last week, it done for too low and tyres are sticking out of the guards. Anyway, the officer said to me I can just peeled the sticker off while I'm back to sa, is that true? is my car still defective in sa and need to be clear the defect in here, or I just don't worry about it.

hope u guys can give me some advices,, thx

Edited by ericrx7
personally i would clear it, and that means a full regency inspection to my knowledge what if you feel the need to go to Melbourne again you will get reamed for not fixing it

how would regency inspection clear vic defect?

I can confirm. The SA police will have NO record of the defect on their system. I got done the same way while driving home from Melbourne and took it to the cop shop down here. They knew nothing of it and told me not to worry about it. However as I had to change over from WA to SA plates I needed an inspection as only on Regency's database does this defect come up. So yes, you can peel off the sticker and drive around, just don't go back to Melbourne or they will do you but I don't think you will be able to re-register your car while it's still defected in Melbourne. Best bet, call up TransportSA, I'm sure they can clear it up for you

thx heslo, my rego expire on next monday, I will try renew my rego in transportsa and see what happen. I will let u guys know. thx for the advices guys!

a defect station tried defecting the stag for the factory tint. at hackham.

then the tool claimed it was the windscreen he was refering too. how can someone be allowed to defect a car when they are so F**king cluless about roadworthy laws.

left without a defect sticker but a fine for not displaying rego sticker.

its stated that you have to have the rego sticker displayed....doesnt it???

well glad to see you didnt get defected for nothing mate

just wondering if i got defected for my front mount intercooler.. because the chassis is cut.

is there a way of hiding that?

what would be the best way of fixing it? or is there a certificate i can get to have it 'roadworthy'?

and what penalties am i looking at? like fines etc..

cheers.

Define "chassis is cut"

If you mean the circular hole underneath the washer bottle, that's fine, however if your reo bar has been cut to fit the FMIC then no, it's not legal and if you ever were defected you would need a new reo bar to pass

    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
    • with the car running (runs fine when temp is cold), I unplugged the MAF and the car stalled.  I have already cleaned it a week ago.  I unplugged the O2 sensor from the left side of the vehicle, and the car was still running.  I let it idle for about 5-7 minutes and shut it off, to see if it would restart, and it did not.  It cranks but doesn't start after engine temp gets up to normal range.   I still need to look at the coolant temp sensor, is this one at the top or bottom of the radiator? Or is it one of the sensor threaded into the T-stat housing?
