I got defected last night at RBT, the cops are bad, mad, craszy..... I did nothing wrong, they pull me over for a test, I was fine and then they say my exhaust is too low. I been pull over at 9.30pm, and on the defect paper he put down 8.15pm. give me 24 hour to dirve, I said to him, I need just one working day to fix the problem, may I get a bit extention time, His said to me if i keep asking he will call tow truck to tow my car away!

i'm driving a r34 gtt in adelaide, which is not may parts aroud. just wonder is the r33 catback exhaust and and r34 the same or can fit? and my stock tyre is 225/45/17, now i'm using 235/40/17 is that ok at regency? also the rear left shocker is not good, is that ok at inspection? or else change the pod fillter I'm all stock.

thanks guys

I think you could make an R33 exhaust fit - it will certainly bolt-on to the turbo/dump pipe, but the mounts might be slightly different. I would give it a try if I was you.

tyres are fine.

shocker they may or ma not check.

pod filter is fine as long as it is fixed and doesn't wobble around all over the place.

Thanks mate, that would be great help. PM send.

Another question, you know the r34 xenon head light. I put it back to hid 8000k. what should i do about it? Should I remove it and put the H1 on it or i should put a 4300k xenon builb?

Shoot to down to exhaust technology, they should be able to help you get through defect with your current exhaust.

Did they measure the height of the exhaust? 100mm clearance is what's required.

Where abouts was the defect station?

No they didn't measure, the defect me at RBT! on port road just pass killkenny rd towards city on saturday nigtht last week. they just say it is too low. I measure myself at home, lowest point about 9.5cm. I can make my car up a bit easy.

thanks for your help, I will go to exhaust technology, where about's they are? Is it in city on gouger st? if I don't pass the first inspection do they take your old parts away?

thanks mate

I just called regency. they said coil-overs are ok, must be on the right hight and no leaks. exhaust 90 db. after market bov can't pass, even you pump back. anybody tell me why the HID head light is stardand in Japan, here complance remove it, and put H1 on it. so if I use a 4300k hid builb, can pass the inspection or not.

regency will pass u with coil-overs? is this true? :O

True, very true. I rang up the regency, they put me through to the inspector , his said he can not pass after market BOV, even you pump back. but he will pass coil- over if it is on the legal hight in good codition.

sorry to hear mate! i have to say this but cops need lifes and defects r crap!!! how can the sound of and exhaust be a danger? man seriously they should look for things that could actually harm and be dangerous!!! i know this has been said loads of times but its crap hahaha

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
