Yerp, i hear ya. I very teary.

Im having the matter investigated and making a complaint against the officers involved. I also am speaking to my local MP. Then i will open up a file at work (law firm) and make them pay for my wasted time and money spent on this issue.

Im tired of being walked over by those mother bitches.

pardon my ignorance, but do regency issue a 'pass certificate' for any vehicle that has gone through their scrutineering?

if so, wouldnt it be suffice to keep this in your glove box at all times, provided that the car is at the same level of modification when it was passed.

Sorry to hear Cheeky.

Try this.  Person gets pulled over next to my servo that i work at.  Police defects car for not having brake light.  Wouldnt it make more sense just to make that person walk to my servo a full 15metres away, buy the stupid globe and fit it in front of them.  Police officer drives off,  person asks one of my staff to fix globe, took 5 minutes.

What servo is that? I drive past a R33 sometimes at Mobil on Lower Nth East rd, is that you??

Cheeky - good to hear that you are taking a firm stance on this, its about time someone does, just a shame it takes such a stupid act from a cop who has no idea what he is talking about to make it happen

point taken.

fact of the matter is though, even thought a group feels like they are being targeted, they are not the only ones.

talk to anybody who owned a V8 in the 60's and 70's, or the turbo owners of the 80's they will all say that they were the targets of similar attention.

btw: i dont agree with revenue raising from sapol which is what 'most' of this topic comes down to.

i am interest to know can they defect u for just the pod filter?

I think, as Cheeky's instance show, they can defect you for anything they want, legal or illegal, just depends on how the cop feels on the day

Its a total joke

Pod filters r legal if they are mounted properly. In my old car i had to proove it on several occasions i didnt have a blow off valve.

Im sorry to hear bout it erica. If it was me id have heaps of other fines for going off at the pig and prob a few more defects.

very harsh, specially to a girl!

It also shows that it doesnt matter wat sex u r now either.

I was caought doing 75 in a 25 zone last night and the cop gave me a choice.. $58 for no front numberplate or 600 something for speeding.. didnt even look at my car... go figure...

A. Ive been thru regency twice with POD filter, they are LEGAL.

B. If a cop can defect for somethin, then why cant they UNDEFECT the car they defected instead of goin to regency.

C. Once the car has been passed by regency, as soon as u leave, u can be defected again even thou ur car is 100% legal. The inspector at regency told me this, and even if u carry ur passed inspection report with u at all times, its unlikely it will save u from being defected again.

Well doesn't that make you all feel nice and warm inside........ F-All!

Like everyone else has said this is getting to the point where it is gettin way too dangerous to take an import out on a drive.

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
