Check out my hot new sticker!!!

[Ronin 09]

Oh yeah...

Done for too low (go the adjustables) - major

was pretty good about it all, the cop said, "you weren't driving like a dickhead... you've been really civil... i can see you look after the car..."

told me that i should check (but not written down on the defect):

1. exhaust vol tested

2. a non-convex mirror on the drivers side :confused:

3. check the load rating of the tyres (RE55s)

4. number plate moved

Nice guy all in all... and the best part - loved the car and didn't give me teh $165 fine!!

not a bad outcome, methinks

[Ronin 09]

BTW - do you think I raised it enough?

[Lukas]

That sux man... where and when did you get defected??? I'm worried every time I drive my car now

[dnb]

BTW - do you think I raised it enough?

lmfao.plenty of road clearance there!

and the load rating of the tyres doesnt really matter anymore does it?now that you have a hovercraft n all

got defected coming back from tai-pan yum cha today along doncaster rd. Was turning off blackburn into doncaster toward the city, he was turning from donny to blackburn and did a lap and chased me down about 5 mins later... but what surprised me was that he had already called in a plate check and knew my name and address...

yeah too easy really... i actually said to him, "good timing as i'm pulling out the front shocks today to get them rebuilt"... which is why the car is now on jack stands in the garage...

will send them up to www.shockreco.com.au and then raise it and get the defect cleared at vicroads - too easy.

Don't even need a roadworthy

Good to hear you came across a nice cop.

My thoughts are why did he pull you over since u were being sensible and all?

Is it simply the recent "lets pull over imports / round tail light cars and give them a once over" rule??

Very frustrating knowing that a skyline owner has a much greater chance than any other car of being pulled over for a random check for no particularly reason at all

I too know all about this having been pulled over while driving home in peak hour traffic for purposes of going over the car. Didn't get a defect or anyhting and the officer was an ok bloke but it begs the question why was i targetted for no apparent reason and for how long will this continue??

Anyway it's great that u don't have to get a rwc and so u won't be incovenienced to a great extent

Sorry to hear Marcus.

Love ur exhaust note but was inevitable u were gonna get the much dreaded yellow sticker.

No doubt the copper followed u coz he heard u 5 streets away.

[Ronin 09]

wasn't done for the exhaust though, will... just ride height

yup you need a flat faced mirror on drivers side. bl with the sticker, but good the cop wasnt an ass

what i don't get is... was Nissan Aust too lazy to change them when they did the oz delivered ones?

[doxximus]

guessing maybe it wasnt an issue back then?

[Ronin 09]

wonder what the issue is at all...?

They were changed, on both sides. It is very strange that you do not have them.

I suspect it has just been replaced at some time in the car's life.

Ronin 09 you dont happen to have personal no. plates?

saw a nice looking black R32 in camberwell today (near evans pl.) that also had a defect notice stuck onto its windscreen

[funkymonkey]

if he had run in your numberplate and had your name n addy, I'm assuming he was doing a check to see if the car was stolen.

umm... yes, that'd be me... saw a movie yesterday at Rivoli

that was 20 mins after the defect - and he almost made us miss the movie!

[inark]

lol marcus

why do they waste our time so? its not like we find it hard to get rid of the yellow stickers.

sometimes i think we should have more rights as motorists when it comes to being pulled over for a "random checkup"

i bet about 5 rusty old fords with drum brakes all round went past and he didnt even batter an eyelid.

[AWDMAT]

check with vicroads regardin mirror

new cars these days are actually coming out with convex mirrors

as long as the meet european standards i think they are legal
