D E F E C T E D !

got defected earlier

for bonnet pins which is understandable

surprisingly the cop wasn't a complete arsehole to me, i told him straight up that ill be civil if he is civil with me and he agreed :)

did the usual "pop your bonnet" and was looking for aftermarket shit , told him straight up that there isnt a boost controller on this , nor is there an aftermarket BOV.

tested my lights out and everything , didnt bother with my exhaust , told me to fix the ride height (understandable) and the passangers seat (had a little bit of movement)

and i also had my ecu sitting in the passangers foot well and all the wires under the steering colum hanging down but he didnt mind it :D

all in all , a lucky night for me , im glad he wasnt a prick to me ended up having a chat with him and then i ended up leaving

fk me was it sketchy trying to leave without my 2 way engaging :(

oh and i didnt get a fine , WIN!

ill have it off defect today , easily =]

thank you sapol for restoring my faith in decent cops being existent :)

amen. they are few and far between *nod*

it also depends alot on how you pull up and exit your vehical.

i have only encounted 1 wanker of a cop and that was in a daily so nothing to defect.

im waiting for them to now pull me over in my 31.

i recon its gunna be the plates that will do it.

but meh. its mod plated for the rb20det and im gunna keep it fairly stock.

if they want to they will always find something tho.

Nice 1 Mitch, how did you get the ride height adjusted so fast to clear the defect? Stockers from the white beast?

only got done for the bonnet pins so i left the height :(

cops at norwood were chilled , the one who i was speaking to was like "wtf as if thats classed as a defect" then i said yeah its incase you hit a pedestrian so you dont slice them up

and he relied with "mate if you hit a pedestrain they are well and truly f**ked anyways" hahaha

such a chiller xD

Mitch, I believe you've set a new record time for clearing a defect :sick:

I'm heading out the door in a bit to take the Suzuki TLR 1000 for its first ride in 18 months. 1000cc of v-twin noise. Bike is a defect magnet, with its full titanium race exhaust system and no baffles, as loud as a Hardley, so wish me luck :D

I'd imagine they are but if people are driving like cocks they will do anything to defect your car. That is usually the way it works.

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
