I wouldn't be surprised what a NSW cop does, it's a fair chance that if they pull you over for something else they WILL try it on. But yes, if its a defectable offense and they notice it, they can.

What I would be concerned about is what is defectable in each state. For example, if you had an exposed (but solidly mounted) pod filter and drove to Melbourne for a holiday, could you cop the $600 Victorian fine for having an exposed pod?

Or what if a NSW car has nitrous lines and nozzles (but no bottle), and drives to QLD for a holiday? Will they be going home on a tilt tray for something that is legal in the state of registration?

I know qld cops used to avoid cars from other states, too much paperwork apparently.

Not sure if it works the other way though ?

Queenslanders are just lazy, and hate paperwork.

I've heard/seen numerous cases of people getting axed pretty hard. All qld mod plated etc and still got done due to no engineers certs for that state. As mentioned above diff states have diff laws. I think your car looking a bit more out there than some others if you got a bad cop on the wrong day you wouldn't be having a fun time of things.

Thing is, I dont know exactly how these people were behaving when they were pulled up, but they did cop fines for stuff that was mod plated for QLD.

If you come from a state where the modification is legal they can’t do a thing. As long as your car meets the requirements of YOUR HOME Registered State they can not defect it. Also they can not give you a fine that carries weight in the Queensland system IE a point’s violation

well i drove in nsw on my P plates. u have to show your plates down there even if u are from another state whilst on your P's, but if i was pulled over i could have been fined for not showing the plates. lucky i wasnt, but id say the same goes for other fines, what ever the rules are in the state u are in at the time, is the fines u will get done for.

Hmmm...cuz im considering driving the gtr down to sydney at the end of the year, dun wanna get defected in sydney cuz i heard the coppers there are much more picky on import cars, ive never had a problem with my gtr in qld....

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
