3 points, $169

EDIT: should clear this up...

its only 3 poits for a major defect, which is maily what they give now as to eliminate imports off Victorian roads. If you get a minor one, then they usually dont fine you or lose any points but as stated its really up to the officer as to how severe the fine is.

Not always - sometimes you can get a minor notice with no fine nor points loss... but you still need to fix the issue and present the car to VicRoads.

Not 100% on the law - but I believe this is mostly at the discretion of the officer.

Dave got a fine with his last (major) defect... i tried digging up the paperwork to see if the fine was as a result of the defect, or if it was in relation to a particular illegal modification, but I can't find it anywhere. :rofl:

I told him to fight it because he was booked by an officer on a motorbike, who removed his helmet while he gave the car a going over.... i was under the impression that once they removed their helmet, they were considered to be "out of uniform", but he decided it was easier to just shut up and pay up. ;)

LOL thats pretty funny. I'm 200% certain that they are still able to give out fines and perform their officer duties without their helmet on. Had that gone to court i'm sure the officer and judge would've been laughing for a long tome.

I've never lost points for a defect but I have got the $169 fine about 3 times while getting defected, the fine was for driving an "Unsafe Vehicle". They can take 3 points for this I think but its up to the officers descretion to take the points or not.

I've also had major defects where i didn't get fined.

The law may have changed though recently.

Well... motorbike Police might be able to, but regular Police are improperly dressed without their hats

I just thought it might transfer across :rofl:

thx guys

so its pritty much up to the officer and if he wants to be a prick or not

wats considered a minor defect offence? like couple mods? IE cooler and boost controller? or are all mods no matter how many considered a mojor defect?

Major defect is when they get you for 3 or more things.

If you want to find out what's defectable, go check out the legal info links in the sticky thread up the top of this section.

Provided the officer identifies himself then he can quesiton you , book you etc even if he is off duty and wearing his underwear on his head. :rofl:

if that's the case, why would there be such a term as "off duty"?

Wouldn't that mean that they are "on duty" 24/7?

How would they be able to "book you"?

In order to do that, they would have to have access to the proper paperwork.

I understand that they may be considered a more viable witness in certain situations, but when it comes to an off duty Police officer, don't you and I have exactly the same amount of power that they do?

On TV, off duty policemen can kill hundreds of people - say they are all bad, and get off scott-free (and usually hook up with some strumpet ex-hooker with a heart of gold).

Troy wears his underpants on his head quite regularly, so I'd be inclined to believe him. Note the part about identifying themselves as an officer (and no doubt flashing the 'ol warrant badge around)? - I'm sure he'd be able to stay off duty, dropping pints and betting on the dish lickers if he kept his yam shut.

That said - I received a yellow sticker in the R. No fine, no loss of points. Just told to get my trumped up charge of the placcard not matching the load weighting on my tyres - fixed.

I actually defeated a "failure to obey an officer" or whatever.

because he wasnt in uniform :laugh:

He didnt have

1) A hat

2) reflective vest while directing traffic

3) Shoulder lapels.

I went on the argument he looked like a hot and bothered bus driver.

And winner to me :(

The judge actually hammered him. He had been in the force for 20 years and should have known better.

Power to the people :laugh:

It sounds like you've spent more time in court than me Ash ;)

Troy wears his underpants on his head quite regularly

While you're out looking for Decemberween gifts, might I suggest that you consider buying him a hat of some sort?

Underpants as headwear is SO last year. (and it doesn't really impress the ladies) :laugh:

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
