***defect Station*** - Caufield


Recommended Posts

MOBILE DEFECT STATION - Dandenong Rd - Caufield, just after Tattersals.

Inbound Lane, where the Booze Bus usually is (if you drive it often)

One lane is totally blocked, and they are picking any car that looks remotely modified or defectable.

Stay Away if your planning a trip near there in the next 3 hours

Even my laser got defected :):D:D:D

No rego sticker/number plate

ROFL - Guess i gotta get new plates now :P

Take care out there - ash

Nah, there is no fine for rego sticker missing.

Just tell em you asked Vic Roads for a new one and is hasnt arrived :)

At the risk of self incrimination, i will stop there with ways around everything

hahaha - save it for off the forums if you want ways around fines :P

lol, ill have to have a word to you at a meet at some point :D

If they could slap a defect sticker in the middle of my head, im sure they would

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

AHAHA when i make it into the police force i will try and get some stickers for you to put around your house

slap em on ur knives and forks... lawn mower... blender... oven... front door... letter box... haha

lol ni maybe if we put them on the car as "fakes" we wont get stopped as they will just go he already got done no need to stop him again....

it's true!! I know someone who did that for months and months.

Wonder if the EPA is there as well...

Edited by Kaz180

They were doing the same thing that a few months ago just before christmas but from 5pm on the inbound lane also.

I drive that way back home the other way everyday but mostly not in the line.

Great way to piss off people on their way home coz it caused a traffic jam on the outbound lane coz everyone was stopping to have a look!!! Tossers!!!

any 1 know if they r still therE?

any 1 else been nabbed by them?

i posted this an hour ago.

It's proably more than likely.

when you have 4/5 cars, at least 20 police, that aint going anywhere

They also do it on Keilor Park Drive once every so often with about 5 coppers and 2 cars

Even the MRS    :rofl:

Get me some!

rofl... that's it defect ET!

so you got defected after you came to my house to pick up the engine?

did they defect you for having an engine in your car that wasn't certified by an engineer?

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
