I thought this thread was gonna die before the second page but hey, as a bandwagoner, I can't help myself...

To answer OP's initial question... Obviously, no-one knows but, at the rate you are going, you might be able to answer that question for everybody... simply disregard the fact that the police are just looking for these type of cars so that they can justify their very existence within "the force" on a daily basis. Continue to drive your car as it sits then come back and tell us all what happens "if you get red stickered more than three times"..

I reckon the only reason no-one knows the answer is because, by the time they get their SECOND sticker... they have learnt their lesson and rectify the car so it complies with road rules.

Good luck out there!

So having a car that is "jdm spec" makes u a hoon? You cant be serious? STFU and GTFO while ur at it.

You seem excessively angry. Chill...

And yes, this car is what our today|today society brand's as a "hoon's car".

If the shoe fits....

Nah I just dont like keyboard warriors who act all high and mighty and start prancing around like their wannabe hwp. Its fair enough to have an oppinion but to just be a smart ass is annoying, especially when as the title of the thread states, all he wants is to know what penalties/dramas/etc occur if he was to get a third red sticker. And if aca has u believing that well it goes to show how strong an influence that fictional program has if it makes an car enthuasiast believe he/she must be a hoon due to the way their car has been aesthetically modified. Correct me if im wrong but I was under the impression 'hoon' was a label used to describe irresponsible and dangerous manners of driving a vehicle on public roads??

Best post on this thread

this thread makes me laugh.

Its funny that the more long term members here, dare I say, slightly more mature too (not saying op isnt or is etc) but majorty of us never have an issue with the law, police, whinge etc how bad it is. why is that? perhaps respect?

and if we have? we have learnt our lesson then and there.

oh, and feel free to have a go at me for replying here - Im just stating what I see. Feel free to label me a hater and tell me STFU too. Just saying how I see it in here.

As Marssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss said - totally agree.

... i agree with chris (evil_weevil) ... :) ...

... i am amazed every time this comes up ... defects arent handed out to people just to piss them off & give them an excuse to say "see the police are out to get me" ... no you morons ... you are giving the defect to yourselves ... all the police are doing is pointing out that youve defected your own car by doing whatever it is to defect it ... every country has "standards" for design & safety & engineering ... if you get a defect it because you deserve it ... its pretty simple to work out that if you dont mod your car up in a way that contradicts the "standards" you wont get a defect ... or i like to say this ... "if you dont want a defect placed on your car DONT place a decfect on your car" ... part of the conditions of your drivers licence & your registration being issued to you is that you comply with what is required "by law" around modding your car in an unconventioinal way ... if you get a moment check out my car in the garage ... its had every component modded in some way but its never had a defect because everything done to it is "legal" ... cheers malcolm :)

Cheers malcom..

Dunno if you read above I no why I'm getting defected the question was what happens if you get done 3 times?? If you don't no thats ok but I've read multiple posts that tell me why I'm getting done and there stories of "if they were a cop" all I wanted was to see if anyone knew what happens not the 20 others stories thanks

... i guess my question & answer to all of this is ... forget what happens when you get defected for a third time ... concentrate very hard on not ever getting defected a first time ! ... :) ...

Thought I'd do the good Samaritan:

I called up the RTA and had a chat to them out of curiosity about this; the person I spoke to had a big pause and asked me why, but anyway, the gist they gave me was that the process is still the same. They didn't think there were other penalties involved, but that the police might not look too favourably upon seeing the car in a defectable state after 3 red stickers.

HTH

Thankyou mate, I should of maybe rang up and asked before I posted this thread and started alot of bicaring

HTH

Hmm, also, remember to take everything you hear from the RTA with a grain (or a large shaker) of salt - you might ring there three times and ask the same question and get three different answers. If you do speak to someone, ask for their name and write it down, as well as the time you spoke to them and what you were told.

I'm pretty sure the question's been answered, and if not, then the best bet is to call them yourself (but don't forget what I just mentioned).

Alright, to save any further issues, this thread is now closed.

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
