Copped a nice yellow sticker today....

[BoOsTeD_RB26]

Hi everyone,

Been a while since I have been on the forums,

But unfortunately today I was stickered for my headunit. Yes, believe it or not but this is true.

I don't really want to go into the details but they overlooked some little things such as the cam gear cover on the front of the motor which has been removed (they didn't say anything about it). However, as I need to go over the pits, I am just trying to source a cam gear cover for an RB26, just in case it is required in order to pass.

Does anyone have one of these?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dan

Are you running standard brakes? if so would that pass?

Did anyone get done on Wanneroo road when there was that 'blitz' with all cars regos checked etc, apparantly about 120 (might have been 170) yellow stickers given out over 4 hours. I probably would have got one if I as going that way (was going in the opposite direction) as my exhaust is being held on by coathangers at the moment... (all getting fixed tomorrow)

What I heard today with yellow stickers (dont know if its true or not) but depending on the angle of the sticker depends on the severity of how badly the pit inspectors will rape you. For instance, a straight sticker says "This guy is alright, dont give him a hard time", a wonly angle is "Find as many faults on this wanker as possible" and upside down is a "Do not pass whatsoever."

I wonder how true this is, cos I've never heard of a cop putting a sticker on upside down.

I have seen one up side down and I drove past the car for 3 months at the workshop before it was removed

I worked with an ex-traffic cop (a$$hole) and he said its true.

If you fail the attitude test, they'll usually put the sticker on crooked.

its all true the further the sticker is from straight the worse the cop thought of you but the pit boys dont always go for it my mate got 3 stickers in 1 month all on nasty angles by the 3rd the pit boys sed tell the cop to go jump this car is perfect and didn even check it

[danlac]

it is true folks about the angle of the yellow sticker. If you cop one get your car home ASAP wet the sticker and make it straight.. Believe me it works

It used to be that if you gave the cop a bit of shit for giving you a sticker, they would put it horizontally on the windshield, which told the inspector at the pits to go right thru' your car and find everything possible for you to get fixed. Basically to give you a hard time.

Yeah, it was common to steam the sticker and set it vertically, that way the inspector was oblivious to the goings on at the time the sticker was issued.

Occasionally, we took a gamble and removed the sticker and hoped like hell that the cop didn't follow it up. You could be garanteed that the cop would follow it up if you had given him a hard time. These days, I'd say that everything is entered into the computers, so licensing will always know that yellows have been issued.
