i know the cops that drive dibbie vans cant defect you, iv been pulled over by them had chat to bout my car ect...

and they said to me they cant defect my car as there not traffic patrol. they even checked the height of my car and said it was to low!

they were cool cops, they told me the only reason the pulled me over was cause i didnt have my number plate mounted.(fresh paint job and was on the windscreen)

HAHAHAAA!!!! LOL @ Dibbie Van!!! Dude they can defect you, any cop can if they want. Just because they arent' traffic cops don't mean diddley. It's like saying a chef can't make you a hot dog because it's fast food, or I can't play golf because I've never played before. Ok they are pretty average examples but you get the point. Oh wait I got a good one, like saying that a CFA firefighter can't put out a fire in the suburbs because it's not in the bush... Ok I'm giving up now...

LOL @ Dibbie Van!!

Grats on lying on the internet, feel cool now? No cop would have said that and yes ANY Cop can defect you.

It's one of car enthusiasts biggest gripes.... it is completely within ANY cops power to defect a car as it drives off a car lot BRAND NEW. He doesn't need to know anything about cars, he can literally say that doesn't look right and slap a canary on it.

Double post ftw!

went to vicroads today the guy didnt even bother to look at my car.

all he did was marking on the papers (defect notice and rwc) and then walk to my car and take the defective vehicle paper off. (less than 3 mins)

ive been pulled over for more than 10 times now (i live in the city) and this is the first time i got defected.

hope this record wont bring any extra troubles to me in the future

cheers

hehe you got lucky.

I've had that happen, but i didn't want to get your hopes up as i've also had them go fully over the car as well to check.

Depends how busy they are/where you go etc.

That defect won't cause you any issues in the future mate, no drama's there.

one thing that annoys me sometimes ive only occured this twice is when the police officer doesnt tick or state on the paper whether a RWC is required or not and you go to vicroads not looking at the notice because the cop told you that you didnt require one etc.. end up going to vicroads and them refusing to clear it as it doesnt state if one is required or not. then you have to travel all the way to the cop station and get the cop to clarify and resign if one is needed.. theres my 2cent rant lol

when i had my ute, i got defected for too low and having a side mount s/c on.

the defect stated that 1. must obtain 100mm ground clearance. 2. s/c must comply with ADR. plus the defect was a major so i needed a RWC.

anyways, took the s/c off, jacked it up and got a RWC. went to vic roads and the lady checked my height but didnt check the s/c!!! i asked her "arent you going to look under the bonnet for the s/c" and she goes "nah its ok you have a RWC"

!!!!!! i could of left the s/c on!!!

so i guess vic roads dont really care, as long as u get a RWC

When I last got a major defect, went to Vicroads with my RWC and the lady didn't even bother checking the car just cleared it on the spot. I can't help but think that the fact it was 4.30pm on a Friday had something to do with it.

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
