There is no law about car having to be road worthy on the driveway. Just sounds dumb. You can argue car parked on driveway until mobile tyre fitter arrives to fit new tyres.

Judge should easily withdraw this bs.

If be raging if my car got defected whilst in Perth.

There is no law about car having to be road worthy on the driveway.

no, but there is also no law stating it doesnt have to be, as before, if its not behind something locked or on another vehicle/trailer its open to them being able to do it.

So what about those old registered classics that sit in the owners front yard waiting for the day they resto them? What happens there? Police come into our land and issue us with penalties, This is madness!

Argue it. What do you have to lose? Only have something to gain.

Photo proof shows cop being said dog.

Get in touch with respective ombudsman regarding cops.

Do it top bloke

Alright Mr Tough Cookie from Perth. :P

Yeh it's this. There's stupid loopholes that allow them to get away with it. If the car is registered they can defect if, even if its on a driveway. If they have the believe that it'll be driven on public roads( which they do due to registration) then they can defect it. Technically shopping centre car parks are private property, they'd still defect you there.. What difference does your driveway make.. It's shit, but that's Vic

You were waiting for 10 weeks so far?

Who did you buy the wheels off?

9 weeks sorry.

Fact I was told 1 week first of all and it keeps getting blown out more and more is pissing me off.

I bought them from a place which alot of people from melb recommend for tyres/wheels.

Did you buy a GTT also man?!

same as ay ay ron said, if its not behind a locked gate/garage door OR on another vehicle/trailer then its fair game.

if its being towed on a car trailer/flat bed (or even parked stationary), they can defect the flat bed or the trailer but not the car on it, thats how the rules work here #summernatsdefectavoidancetactics

I hear alot from both sides of the argument

Does someone actually have any legal reference to back this up?

This was discussed on another forum I read, and some lawyer girl replied this this when discussing driveways and the road rules which may apply to a residential driveway being a public place:

q. It's about the police searching a private property for a vehicle

a. Umm no, it is about inspecting the Roadworthy condition on private residential property.

q. Which road rules are you talking about? Because many of the road rules do apply regardless of where you are.

a. Road rules do not apply on private residential property, they only apply on roads and road related areas (as defined by your state).

Go ask your legal team Aaron, say this stubborn Asian guy that says you can't reposses the car as its on private property :P

Though I'm assuming you guys can becuase something to do with taking back something that is now your property due to default payments

edit: From what I have read:

The Driveway leading up to the council footpath is Public property

Beyond the footpath, the Driveway on your land inside the 'boundaries' of your property is private property

My brothers problem is probably that he was seen driving it 15 mins prior, I'm guessing considering the timing.

But still, you get home in a skyline and you think you're safe, maybe not now days.

Don't get me wrong, I used to love skylines but thank f**k I don't own one of these things anymore, I just couldn't handle the headf**ks sooo annoying and too busy stressing about defects / EPAs rather than enjoying the car when driving it. #subtlefordfanboy/bogan

I'll keep you guys updated anyway.

BaaaaaAM. We can repo from behind an unlocked gate, even on private property. But if its locked we need a warrant.

I doubt the police wouldn't be able to If we can..

NZ is worse, lol we can physically break into the house without a warrant and do as much damage as we want to the lock/door/gate/garage to recover our assets lol

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
