Hey guys, got defected last night after a dinner with family in seven hills/prospect hwy, had some kind of operation last night hwy patrols up and down doing laps, anyways got done for bald tyres, loud exhaust, pod, and 60mm off the ground, says i need to get a "pink slip" and only gave me 24hrs to clear it and today is sunday so basically nothings open. is it possible to call up rta/rms to give me a week to sort stuff out? i need to drive the car tomoro to work so im not sure if i should just risk driving to work then calling them when they open tomorrow?

any help would be great,

Thanks

Tam.

yeh i wouldve thought they would give atleast a week being a saturday and sunday the next day but atleast i didnt get any fines, which is good but only a day its like they are testing me, im hoping i can ask them to extend it to 1 or 2 weeks, coz i just need to change exhaust and get stock shocks , whack on my airbox and stock wheels on with tread and im good. still shits me its a sunday and hardly any place is open today.

saw some poor guy and his girlfriend walking down the street while i was getting slapped around and he told me he's walking home coz they red stickered his "charade" only coz of cambered wheels. i felt lucky i could drive home and the 2 cops some how didnt notice the top mount gt3082 sticking out and thinks its only a pod filter and asked me where the turbo is. -_-

After speaking with a few cops the length of time they give will vary from none, to 3 weeks (maximum).

A lot of it comes down to how many idiots have given them lip, and how you speak to them. If you found that after you spoke the copper was a touch more firm/angry in his response you were most likely coming across quite defensive (in a bad way) or aggressive towards them.

Also depends on what you've been booked for in the past.

The popo's were on a cruise. Taken from another thread:

OT, that's a joke, 24 hours to fix?

Seriously

How can they defect cars when they don't even know what bits are what

I had a HWP pull me over and pop my bonnet, he knew exactly what to look for. This is the reason why I didn't go to TopGear. A whole bunch of defects going to one place is bound to be a killing zone for defects.

They didnt seem to be targetting imports at Top Gear, i saw a heap of cars pulled over around the weekend but not one was a modified import.... The cops were mainly directing traffic and were quite polite :)

Of course i was driving a Golf so i was stress free for a change lol

Hey the cops pulled me over yesterday, in my work. and actually were not to bad they said If I be a smart ass they would defect me, so I said I'm not be smart I'm just saying u guys will make me look bad to my boss pulling me up in work and he said shut up then checked my license and let me go. I think it depends what cop you get! And I had a blown out headlight and they let me go. How cool is that?

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
