Hi I need some advice on clearing my defect notices as this is my first time.

The cop had give me defects for

pod filter not boxed

exhaust does not comply with ADR

front mount does not comply

BOV vents to atmo

pedals with no rubber

gauge on a pillar

I have to take it to AUVIS and it was maked full inspection. Is that just a blue slip? Can anyone tell me where in the Liverpool area i can get this cleared?

I have already taken of the pedals and gauge and put but on stock BOV. The major problem that i have now is the exhaust, front mount and pod which i don't have the standard parts for.

Will i pass if i got my exhaust quieten or does it have to be standard? Pod i could make a box out of aluminum. Front mount i don't know

The stupid thing that the cop wrote on the defect paper was that he wrote that my car was skyline GTR when own a gtst

Any help will be much apreiated

Liverpool area

well there is Liverpool Exhaust, they can sort your exhaust out at a very affordable price...they customise and fabricate things also

im sure they can help you out with the intercooler and air filter perhaps...

give them a call

let us know how you go

DREDD Racing makes a nice AIR BOX. Just bought one for $98.00 on e-bay. Also there are some on our trade area. Might be worthwhile putting back your original AIR BOX to clear defect.

Eug.

get the exhaust silenced or find a stock cat back. as the guys said box up the pod or find standard airbox. As for front mount i actually was lucky and kept mine on, got an emissions test done for it at botany and passed, so its legal but just need and engineers for it. Have papers for it stating it complies with adr regulations. might be a cheaper option then taking it off, cause youll end up putting it back on lol.

when i got done for my exhaust and front mount i just got an engineers cert for it to say it was all find and that way you dont need to change anything back to stock (providing it passes emissions test) sometimes an engineers cert is much cheaper than changing everthing back to stock.

thats what i found anyway

how much does an engineering cert cost?

did you have to clear the defects first to get the engineering cert?

i had to get it engineered so i could clear the defects.

the only reason why i got done for my front mount was because i didnt have an engineers for it. so i got one and then it was cleared.

i got it done for $400

well there is Liverpool Exhaust, they can sort your exhaust out at a very affordable price...they customise and fabricate things also

+1

They sorted out my defect issue by installing a stock cat-back. Affordable price, maybe a different story (pretty similar to other places).

Best advice is to keep stock parts aside so you can bail yourself out in future incidents :banana:

let me tell you what C*CKS some cops can be.... I was in my stock-as-a-rock VL Commodore with my old man driving this morning going down JamesRuseDrive near Parramatta, we drove into a 4-cop-car RBT, just as we pulled up, the stupid F*CKHEAD of the cop confronts my old man and asks him 'Whats he carrying on about ?' referring to me... ALL I DID WAS SHOOK MY F*CKIN HEAD !!! So I stuck my head over and said to the f*ckhead of the cop that 'I was telling my father how unbelieveable it was that we always get picked up in the VL' - which is the truth.... Is that against the f**kin law ????? The cop walks away to RTB the car behind us and the other cop comes up to us and carries on about my attitude and respect ??!!?! F*CK HIM ! I said to the cop 'Respect has to be earnt, not thrust upon someone'.... I swear to God the f*ckhead wouldve arrested me for some pittiful reason if there wasnt two of us in the car....

MY POINT IS .... F*CKIN cops.... Sometimes it doesnt matter how much engineering you do on your car, if the f*ckin kunt of the pig wants to abuse his power and hide behind his bloody badge, there is no engineer's certificate thats gonna save your ass. And people wonder why we get physcos taking to the cops with AK47s !!

when you have an attitude like this no wonder the cops give you a hard time. Its the easter long weekend and they have had heaps of RBT's around pulling over people to catch the stupid pricks that drink and drive and could potentially kill your family.

so maybe give the cops a bit of a break. im sure they dont come into your place of work and give you a hard time whilst your doing your job.

i think some people just need to understand the cops are there to help keep our roads safe. sure there are still some tools that get away with way to much while innocent people get hard done by but sometimes its all just part of owning the type of cars we do.

i know my car attracts more attention than a ford or holden or even the old rust bucket that drives down my street every day with smoke pouring from the exhaust but i just deal with it.

hell i was pulled up tonight for an RBT the cops asked me if i had an engineers certificate for my mods i said yes would you like to check it. he said no thats fine. drive safe and have a good night.

so because i have an engineers certificate i didnt need to have my car gone over and i went off with no problem at all.

so i guess they do help. the cops are more likely to give you trouble if you cant prove things have been done legally.

Is it true that some people have gotten off technicalities like that???

For e.g. a friend was telling me his cousin was caught riding a restricted bike on his P's and on the fine notice the policeman wrote down a Yamaha instead of Suzuki. He took it to court, and argued the fact that if the policeman could not tell what bike it was how could he tell if its LAMS approved or not.

Would it work for the above :)

    • Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?
    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄  
    • From everything I’ve heard you’ll be waiting a long time for  the parts to arrive 
    • Have you looked at the workshop manual?
