Another 'line gets a defect

[Jax]

About a year or so ago when I got a 'defect notice' for my hks pod (which I wanted to change back to the factory box anyway because I didnt like the induction noise) I took it to a local RTA recommended blue slip mechanic and he laughed at me. He said no where in his "book of rules" does it even state you have to have an air filter connected let alone it must be boxed. He rang up the RTA to give them a hoot but the RTA guy that answered simply stated "anything that is non-factory fitted is a defect" ... end of story.

By the time I got it cleared though I had already fitted the standard airbox so it was a simple 1min check and off I went back to the RTA.

I've said it 100x and i'll say it again' date=' things will never change until the Police go back to fighting crimes (breakins, rape, bank robbers) and leave all the traffic offences to the RTA, I mean that's what we pay them for. It's a win win situation for us all.[/quote']

Not so, It'll only stop when ppl get up off the ground and refuse to be stood over. This "what can you do, it'll probably be me next, " attitude just invites being walked on. Start standing up, instead of crawling around on your knees.

H pattern gear knob?

HAHAHAHAHHH

that's fkn hilarious

what kind of bullshit is that? you all of a suddden forget what pattern ur gears are so u need the drawing on ur knob? wtf? ahaha fkn ultra-gay

The reason this is required is because some cars have different gear patterns. I know when I drive a car for the first time I check the H pattern. Some cars like supras and what not have the reverse on the far left instead of the bottom right.

This is why when you buy a nismo gear knob it comes with the little sticker.

I'm from blacktown. There was a cop on sunnyholt rd on sat nite just crusin up and down and pulling ppl over. Every time I was goin somewhere I would see him with the lights on.

I wasn't brave enough to go past him as I have no front bar.

i got pulled over for a good 15-20mins last friday night about 1130pm in a residential area..

cop did a u turn followed me a bit then pulled me over.

they checked my license and if the car was stolen, there was 4 cops and they went all around the car, engine bay and interior didnt find anything (i dont have the typical pod and bov and i have a very quiet exhaust, but i DO have lots of other, hidden stuff )

only thing they said was rear tyres are nearly bald, but did not defect me for it,

3 of the cops seemed nice but one had the 'i am better than you and i will try and get you for anything' attitude.

i was just polite and tried to make some conversation with them all and things went ok, the cop with an attitude was not friendly, but we was not outright rude either, once he saw i wasnt being a dickhead.

only thing i didnt like was he reached into the car and took my wallet and pulled out another form if id (i think my uni or credit card) and asked the other officer to confirm if the same names were on both without asking me.

i got pulled over for speeding once by a persuit car thingo, and the evil cop (there always seems to be a bad one and a good one) opened my door and started looking around while i was talking to the other one.

Are they allowed to do that ?

Dont they have to ask you to open the door ?

[Babylon]

I shit myself when i get pulled over!!!!

:Oops: :Oops:

[hanyou]

hahah true that.. theres always one nice cop that makes convo wid u and one ***wit whos out on a power trip

I think if your car is locked they need to ask if it's open it's open.

As for taking your wallet that's just plain rude - and silly on their behalf too because if someone starts accusing them of taking money they set themselves up for it.

yes i thought it was rude and would have readily handed it over if he had asked, but since it was a powertripping cop i thought it was best not to try my luck by saying anything since i had nothing to hide. very rude!

Anything not standard seems to be a defect these days. I cleared some (10) a month or so ago. Since then i had the RTA come knocking at my door wanting to do another inspection.

SO i think they catching up to me clearing defects an puttin stuff back on.

btw any1 got a stock zorst an cat handy??

"What car? Fcuk off!" would be my only response to that.
