Defect & Rego Issue

[JUN`R32]

Hey Guys,

A run down of the story

Travelling home from work and got defected by the Rosehill highway patrol (if any of you guys are in western sydney im sure some of you would have come across these bunch of Cu$#@#$ !!!

Got defected for the below

1 headlight out (electrical problem which has been fixed)

BOV (which is plumb back, although the officer stated he was not a mechanic and is putting it down as he see's it, then how can you defect me for it ?? his response was mate the mechanic will need to check that)

Exhaust checked for compliance

Horn wasn't working (Fixed)

Battery not secure (Fixed)

POD filter (Fixed)

Defect is for a full inspection blue slip

Problem is it's a full inspection and im in need of a mechanic who is quite lenient on blue slips etc etc

Taking it back to standard is just not worth it, too many non standard parts welded diff to start off with which makes me think a engineering cert may not even help but correct me if im wrong

anyone feel free to PM me if they are uncomfortable with posting up names on here

Got defected for having an illegal car...and not only that, your horn didnt work, you had 1 head light etc

and they're a bunch of dream boats huh?

They wont know it is a welded diff unless they drive it, if they question it tell them it is an aftermarket LSD

As for the exhaust, make sure there is a standard cat in there and that it is quiet and you shall be right

The horn and lights fair enough i knew what was wrong with the car and didn't dispute any of it apart from the bov, the way in which this officers attitude was that got me shitty, just venting mate i know there doing there job but when they don't speak to you like a human being that gets me pissed.

[Hadouken]

Their....

[GoldZilla]

Their....

LOL @ attempting to make a correction, and even the correction is wrong!

They're = abbreviation for they are. Example: "They're going to check over your car for defects."

Their = denotes ownership. Example: "Their car is bound to be full of defects."

There = a place or location. Example: "Who owns that car over there? I bet when the cops pull him/her over, it's gonna be defect city for that poor sucker..."

Damnit Nick!!!

you beat me to it.

Touche, but it should still read "they're doing their job" instead of:

i know there doing there job...

[Hadouken]

This is indeed true.

But I cant break my trend of posting their in all the other threads haha.

I want 2 stars, because I'm a bit special right?

[tweety bird]

if he gets two stars i want two stars too

[Krovikan]

gotten a little off topic now... i help get back,

As far as i know, you can not engineer an aftermarket BOV that makes a noise due to no factory car comming with one... Therefore all BOVs that make a noice are defect...

eg: HID lights were always defect untill cars like the S2000 and M3 started using them. Now everyones got them.

It's not due to cars not coming out with them, it's due to emissions.

aftermarket hid's aren't legal mate. Just because a car has something doesn't make it legal on another car, as the car that has it obviously complies with ADR.

And to the OP, it's called the appearance method. If you're car appears to be in good condition and not either a hunk of junk or a full blown race car that sounds like a jet taking off, chances are you'll be sweet.

If i was a cop and I'd pull over the car that only has one headlight, and then when i found out the horn wasnt working and the battery wasn't secure, i'd go over the car with a fine tooth comb.

It a pain in the ass but if you want to drive a modified car on the street, you need to adhere to the appearance method as closely as possible.

My appearance of being older than I really am must have helped over the ownership of 3 grey import-GT-Rs I'm sure
