The Defected Thread...

[DSTROY]

If I was you i'd go back to that station and ask to talk to one of the higher ranking officers there, go as high up as you can. Explain to them what has happened and see what they say because being defected for that is just not on.

[heslo]

Agreed... bullshit items you got done for. However I'd make damn sure they can't see the EBC

[ovrtym33]

so i my fiance brought this r32 from melbourne we flew over yesterday and drove it back , got back last night. the car had boost controller, pod filter, front mount and exhaust.

so i hid the boost controller and the exhaust is not too loud, and made brackets for the pod filter.

went to get id check at my local police station today to come out with a canary.

not for a front mount, but because you can move the pipe that goes over engine fan about 1cm movement, and also beacause it had a pod filter.

apparntly pod filters are illegal even if they are held down tight. WTF been through id chacks and regency checks 5 times with other cars no worries.

and the front mount pipe needs movement cos the engine moves, WTF

still got the defect no matter how much i tried to explain about the pod. And he was going on about that he thought i was gonna put a bov back on it, i was like what the. i think too many of them have read the sunday mail articles and are trying to be heroes

BEWARE PEEPS!!!!!!!!!!!

could not believe it.

which police station was it????

[Krishy]

Sorry to hear of that Chris....sounds like you got someone on a very very bad day/time....POD filters are legal as long as they have a bracket holding them tightly....and never heard of anyone get done for IC piping being a wee bit loose.....

Agree with Chad make sure you go as high as you can and let them know what had happened

[SLED]

Chris, I'm guessing you went through Sturt police who are now at Lonsdale as that's the only Police inspection station that can do ID checks (VIN & Eng) other than Regency.

Having said that, I've been through there when they were stationed at Sturt Road and got through with pods OK......if they're secured correctly, there shouldn't be an issue.

[CTRcustompanel]

i made up brackets the first time pod was secured.

i went through down here at victor harbour.

i knew they are legal but cop woudlnt believe me. anyway got standard airbox and made more brackets for cooler piping which didnt help it, and went back today and he was still humming and hurring bout the cooler piping WTF!! anyway got it off and is now regoed.

got a funny feeling he will be checking up on the car to make sure the pod dosnt go back on, just the sort of cop he is. He definalty from town and is not a local cop.

I was and would go back to take it further but i'm afraid of the car therefore being pulled over and being picked on more. But if my fiance gets pulled over again by same cop i am definatly taking it further because it's just not on.

By the way. both times He never even checked to see if i had

legal tread on tyres

if my horn worked

if my lights were working

To tell you guys the truth i have had the up most respect for sapol they have helped my mum out alot in the past, i have even been considering joining the police force for about the last 6months but this just turns me off it all.

Get this he even said maybe i should have come in the afternoon because i've got the wrong copper.

I'm afraid if i put the pod back on he will purposly find the car to check in next month or so and defect me again.

so be aware . keep you guys informed if anything else eventuates

thanks for your advice guys

Chris...

[heslo]

Put the pod back on, so long as it's secured you are fine. If he defects you for it again, go to his superior and have a word.

too easy man

[MSTR32]

All they did me for was too low. They tried getting me for the track being too wide but when they measured and saw it was all good they said "Ah..... You will have to go to regency and get that measured properly"

How funny was the comment when Pete drove off "Oh that sounds horrible.... must be his joints or something"

Can anyone help me out with a stock set of rims, stock R32 suspension to replace tien coilovers and a dump pipe. That's all i need to replace atm as the cops said my steering wheel is fine and everything else looked sweet. Also the small things are easy to do its just the rims that i need and the suspension.

Cheers guys/girls.

Looking at the engine bay photos from SMASA earlier this year can definitely see a big massive silver snail sitting on the passenger side of the engine.
