Hi Guys,

I am looking to get a Skyline gts that has been defected before for noise, height and wheels...Car has passed the compliance since...it looks very attractive as well, which may attract cops attention with the nice looking wheels and i think it has a black carbon fiber front bonet...

It has a high mount turbo and i have a history of my GTR being Defected before with mods...

Just want to know if I am looking for more trouble and getting into more shit? I am afraid that the high mount turbo might be a problem if i get pulled over...car is doing 300kw atw and its a cheap buy of 10k with forged internals...

Anyone with any suggestions?

Sometimes cheap is a bad thing as it could indicate faults.... I would be speaking to a Rego guy to make sure it'll pass before thinking any further, and as Mr NPC said speak to a relevant engineer :)

The car is very tempting to buy with the mods listed on it...

I am only worried about the high mount turbo...

If the cops do a random rego check and the car has a defect history, im sure they will pull me over and defect the car again...

Change to low mount and get retuned. There's a pretty good fabricator in SE That will make it fit

Depends what turbo it is, cops are probably going to notice a big ass intake pipe even if it's low mounted etc..... Having a defect history makes it a target....

A different car and different owner. Seriously if you think it's linked specifically to the plates then get new plates! Simple. Don't drive like a dick and you won't get pulled over. My cars bright orange and its fine. Popo compliment it

It's a skyline

They will pull you over irrespective of your defect history. They will only know that after they've already pull you over so i don' see how thats a factor of consideration.

Very different views...

Well, lets see how we go....

I got defected once coming back from KNOX!!!! i hate to go there again in my skyline after that :)

Well, i got a few other cars in mind and will be putting the car on mrs name :P, just to be safe...

Yeh neither does lav..

What not this again. Do u get pulled over a lot?

See this

Everytime someone starts a thread on defects, there is the inevitable "don't drive like a dickead and you have nothing to worry about" comment. Usually comes from someone who has never been defected and is as dumb as saying racism doesn't exist because they've never experienced it for themselves.

I got defected while driving completely normal. Cop said he saw me from the other side of the road and did a u-turn because my car looked low. It really just depends on the cop you drive past.

Obviously, if you drive like an idiot then your chances of attracting attention are greater.

All i see is the same view?

Fix it, or prepared to get reamed.

Don't worry about the NSW commenters, unfortunately they don't understand Victorian law, VASS or EPA - so ignore those comments about engineers and similar.

Also true.

I've been defected for rear tires. Cop said "good to see you weren't driving like a dick" and told me to replace and go v roads.. No fine, no roady.. Maybe I just got a nice copper

Yeah, i was driving behind a mate who was completely drunk but still decided to drive...I was doing him a favor to make sure he get home fine and i had my Mrs with me in the car and i was driving like a gentleman and at least 2 cars behind my mate and the most left hand side of the road while many other cars over-taking me...

The cops pull me over saying that my car looks low...put the roller under the car and i saw it went all the way through but they said its touching the exhaust, then told me to open the bonnet and there we go, pod filters...DEFECT yellow note was put on the windscreen...

Then i got off from skylines but still missed my GTR and now I want to get back into it and find a standard looking car with mods...I remember reading a post here a while ago someone said that there is a dickhead pig on stud rd that always pull over the Japanese cars...

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
