cant defect u if your not at the car. Lock it up and walk away. :D

u can be defected if ur not at ur car. I know of two people that have been defected in the marion car park while they were shopping. they left a note under the windscreen wiper and the defect sticker on the outside of the front windscreen.

also if i go to victoria on a holiday can the victorian cops defectme ?

They can defect u but... most people rip the sticker off when they get back to adelaide. They may be different road rules but once the information gets to adelaide that u were defected they still classify that ur car is unroadworthy. most people will get away wit ripping it off but if they pull u over and find out u were defected in vic its the same penalties.

i heard you are immune to defects from other states.

i regulary travel to Adelaide, and ive been pulled over NUMERIOUS times and when they look at the rego, and the licence EVERY single time they have said "no point going over the car" or something to that effect... this has happened at least 8 times in the last year of travels to Adel.

so im under the idea that im 'immune' to your defect laws.. im sure if it was a rust bucket etc etc they might do something (if they bothered to pull me over in the first place) but for the majority of times ive been pulled over, ive had no problems as so ever :)

oh, and to clarify, if they wanted to be cops about my car, simple defects would include,

too low (58mm clearance front bar)

too dark tint

too big rims (19" - stock = 15" / 4" over regs)

so in theory, thats enough for me to get raped over, then they could start on the engine / interior *rolls eyes*

Well there was a gold coloured skyline that was down from vic, visiting his family for a while and he got defected for his T wing. Ive heard of numerous cars from vic being defected here and like wise in vic.

I also went into motor and reg and asked them, as i am taking a venture to melbourne soon. They said that u can be defected but the info takes a while to get to adelaide.

It all depends on wat u were doing and the cop u come across, kind of like in our own state.

I may be wrong but its wat ive heard and seen.

    • New euro in the house for the wifey. Had to make sure it was good enough that I wouldn't mind driving it when needed. Introducing the 2021 JCW flamin mongrelryman. B48 2.0T 225kw 450nm 8spd AWD 0-100 in 5.1. 1/4 mile in the mid to high 13's. Not bad. It's a little animal on take off and zippy AF around town. She loves the thing and secretly so do I. Just got to pray to BMW Jesus that it doesn't do too many BMW things. Previous owner looked after it like a newborn. It's, I mean was absolutely unmarked and spotless.     360mm factory rotors with cooling ducts. Wonder if they'll stand up to track abuse...
    • It will happen, give it time. 🫢
    • Decent result Greg, sounds tuff AF👍   When is the Whipple or procharger getting fitted?😉
    • Oh there's no way in hell I'm doing it to modern cars. This was on some lancer shit box decades ago with silly gauges that started beeping when the voltage was outside of operating range
    • Not just stop start. New modern cars with their stupid "smart" alternators. Even funnier is watching cars when you drop them into eco mode. A lot of them don't crank the alternator up to full charge for very long at all. EVs and how they charge their 12V lead acid battery is even worse! Also, you should never disconnect the battery, on a running car. The voltage spikes can break things. Basically while it's a "battery" it is also considered a "Capacitor" within the charging system, and helps to keep those spikes non existent. Yay for alternators being inductive.
