Probably wise not to argue it to em on the spot or they would have just scrutinised your car for something else.

As has been said, if the police want to find something wrong with your car they will. It is a very, very small minority of cars on the road that could flawlessly pass inspection with a chip on his shoulder cop.

I read or had heard, so dont know the accuracy, that most NEW cars leaving the car lot for the first time are often defectable. It would take a seriously pissed off and/or OCD cop to bother but nonetheless the defects are still there.

Anyone know if they targeted Burwood Hwy/Vermont last time they ran this ?

It was more Knox City than anywhere else. I didn't see any cop cars around V-town, but that's hardly a stretch from Knox so I would still be careful hehe.

Well lucky for me I don't have to visit my mate in Dandenong anytime this weekend

Last time I visited him (when the last blitz was on)...I got pulled up 3 times and had my car checked out....One in Dandenong and then again in the City and last on CityLink (that was a booze bus)

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
