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.

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.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
