ive had 2 yellow stickers in 3 weeks! the first time was by rta when they had that big thing on the freeway a few weeks back and then just the other day a cop decided he needed to hit the brakes on a main road, treck over the medium strip (concrete thing with bark and bush that devides the lanes) and pull me up for rbt ! i ripped into him about it but ah well. im gonna take it to get engineered in about 3 months from next week when i get my licence back..

And don't whinge or call cops names when they do there job and bust you for illegal mods.

Dont want trouble, then leave your ride stock, otherwise- to bad so sad

what does ur car run mate.

yeh thats correct. My missus was getting insurance quotes for her stagea and a few mobs would not insure it with one fitted.

turbo timers are illegal if you leave the car un-attended while its running

Turbo timers themselves are not illegal. It is the intent to use it for what it's designed purpose is (leaving the car running while unattended) that is illegal.

So you can get done for leaving your car unattended while running, as you also can get done for having a turbo timer due to the intent to use it.

Seriously there is a not a set of rules of what is illegal and legal

I got my car checked by the cops

Problems

-Box for Cold intake

-Turbo timer

-Blue corner lights (only got done for it)

-Fuel regulator (no connected)

No problem with

-Front inter cooler

-Full exhaust

He did not see the boost controller (Problem?)

yeah I'm with alex on this one.. the cops did a huge favour in rectifying the image you portray of yourself, and also the general public in reducing burnt retinas.

Hi Guys,

its been a while since i got back on the forum.

My pride got defected approx a month ago.

I was just returning from work...no speeding nothin.

This low life nothing to do f*k*in cop decided to do a random breath test ( obviously to check my car )

Anyways..this f*ker didnt give me any warning at all....he layed out three fines for defects..

i didnt show any attitude ..but that as**hole didnt show any remorse.

This guys got nothing better to do i say...but to book people like us..

but this was only the beginning....Im not sure how many of you have heard of the DECC.

yes...i was given 14 days to clear my defect...had to run like a dog to get it done since i work from 9-5

Got that passed ..luckily...then i had to get a Noise, pod filter check etc etc,

I think there only a few DECC inspection stations...the closest to me was in granville..

Old real grumpy old man...did not try and help me..

didnt pass me...i had to changed my exhaust, my cat convertor to standard, my Filter to box... ( and not forgetting to put a snorkle on it as well ), my boost controller had to go as well...what shits me the most is...there are cars out there pissin smoke and dust...and bikes and cars with real loud noise...90db is fk all...which is the standard limit...

If they say 90DB is the legal limit ...then how does that justify cars and bikes that are louder.

whats your guys opinion to shit like this ?...Had to take this off my chest...all this has cost me 2000 plus.

Guys...u dont wana get defected for rubbish like this...but i will get my car back on road..

what use is a RB20Det without its parts...my car is back to stock standard now..but ive lost most of my hair from my head...

Isnt there anything we can do ?

I'm sure you're not an arsehole though :happy:

On the engineer side of things, i have my FMIC and exaust done also have my pod in a box. i must say, it gives me great pleasure when i see mr po po read it, the look on there faces is priceless, i had one spend atleast 30min on my car in te hope to find something lol. i'm lucky my car was engineered when i bought it, but i would pay the money if it's wasn't, it does work. But the best thing you can do, is not be a co ck head don't drift,speed or race etc the police will know that you are not a rev head (by this i mean where you live). ive had my car for a yr, got pulled over 4 time within 2 weeks, booked once for "apparently" not stopping at a stop line lol. But once they realised my car was engineered have not been check since.

Money well spent i say

My two coin

A police officer just needs to believe things are illegal and he sends you for an inspection with a list of specific things to check, it is then upto the blueslipper and engineer to pick up on other illegal items.

don't you be picking on the yellow cars!!!! :cheers:

I'm not gonna pick on a certain yellow car which has had the pleasure of my naked body brushing up against its upholstery. So you're safe ;)

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
