Not having a go but genuinely want to know how driving without a gear knob is actualy dangerous...

Have you checked the basics like all the fuses? A major problem that stops the car from starting wont just happen without the car being driven at all. My $ is on the ecu fuse or there abouts

ORC FTW!!!! more power holding, more rattle, more bite lol

Haha, not shure it would help my cause much, or finances for that matter..... Would make me feel a whole lot better though

THey pulled me over mostly because they were bored i assume... I was doing a whoping 40kph in a 50 zone when it happened. Was as polite to them as possible as I always am. Letter sent today via registered post

Didnt think of the registered post thing... was just gona shove it in a mail box... hmmmm...

Dare I ask how much that kit goes for?

Greenline list the replacement filters Go to greenline.jp There are 2 of them and they come as a replacement kit

12/06/2008 To: Officer In Charge Of Traffic Enforcement Group RE: Grievances regarding a Vehicle Defect Notice Dear Sir/Madam I write to you in regard’s to the defect notice that I received for my vehicle (1989 Nissan Skyline GTR) on the 11/06/2008 around 11:00am. I have just had the vehicle passed by the Vehicle Examination Centre at O’Connor on the 06/06/2008 where it was deemed road worthy and the previous vehicle defect notice removed. Previous defect notice had the following items listed on it: • Modifications to comply with vehicle standards act • Wipers to be rectified • Tire on the spare wheel to be replaced. On the morning of the 07/06/2008 between 12:00 (midnight) and 6:00am my car was broken in to and several items were stolen some of which include the drivers side seat and the gear knob, rendering the vehicle un-drivable. Police report number for that incident is: ############ I had managed to source and fit a replacement window and replacement factory seat by the evening of the 10/06/2008, however I was unable to source a gear knob at the time. On the morning of the 11/06/2008 I had to go to Lakeland Senior High School to deal with a computer issue that they had and had no transportation but my own and was unable to pick up a gear knob until later that day. Upon leaving the school I was stopped by Constable Collett and Senior Constable Endall of the Traffic Enforcement Group and they proceeded to inspect my vehicle. I informed them immediately that the vehicle had just passed an examination at a Vehicle Examination Centre and presented to them the invoice that I received for doing so. I also explained that the car was broken into and that a replacement gear knob was being picked up later in the day. The officers then proceeded to issue me with a new defect notice that lists the following items: • Spare tyre to be fitted (rectify) - not required for road worthiness • Wiper blades to be rectified - As inspected on the 06/06/08 • Exhaust to be inspected - As inspected on the 06/06/08 • Gear stick to be fitted (rectify) - Stolen on the 07/06/08 • Wiring to be secure (rectify) - As inspected on the 06/06/08 All of the items listed are exactly the same as when they were inspected at the Vehicle Examination Centre on the 06/06/2008 with the exception of the missing (stolen) gear knob which was being replaced later that day. Immediately after I received the defect notice I consulted with the Vehicle Examination Centre and was told that it was not a requirement to have a spare wheel in a vehicle. I feel that it is severely unjust that the officer issuing the defect notice had no regard for the fact that the vehicle had already been examined only a few days prior and deemed road worthy. I also feel that it is unjust that I am getting punished for having my gear knob stolen and therefore not present at the time of this incident. Especially considering a replacement gear knob had already been organized and was to be installed soon after the incident. I have since spoken to the Senior Sergeant in charge of the officer’s who had issued me with the defect notice and was told that there was nothing he could do, and that I would have to get the vehicle re-examined and therefore also pay the examination fee again. Again this does not seem fair. I do not wish to make a formal complaint against the officers at this stage as I hope to resolve this matter without the need for one. I can be contacted by any means listed below I await your reply Sincerely That is the letter im sending for those interested...

Just wrote a letter to the Officer In Charge Of Traffic Enforcement Group stating all the facts from the first yellow sticker to the last including car break in and saying that I wish to resolve this issue without the need of a formal complaint if possible. Its in the mail first thing morning. If that does not get a reasonable response then formal complaint it is.

Made the calls today, Spoke to the seniour sargant who told me to go see the guys at the pits and they can help me without having to pay. Guys at the pits didnt want to know of me until I payed them their $. Spoke to the seargant again who spoke to the officers and then told me that the yellow sticker stands and that my only option is to seek legal advice and/or file an official complaint in writing requesting damages to be payd. In either case I have to take the car over the pits again and pay the $. The official complaint is deffenitley a goer... Will call for some legal advice and see where I stand to...
