What a day, got defected today!!!!

that Bastard,

One cop by himself, I thought there always needed to be 2 cops to pull you over??

Tint to dark, even though they never tested the tint,

Exhaust to loud - apparently, even though I have the quietest X-force system on the market

Lastly the cop recons my air intake and cooling need to comply with USR/ADR

Bro,

I feel for you as funny enough I just got my canary cleared this morning after my car was defected 3 weeks ago... I'm sure a few of you would know of this situation...

Bro, yeah... sometimes it's not worth it... don't worry, it's not the end of the world... just get a roadworthy done...

You can't have 2 air induction mods... so either lose your frontmounted intercooler or pod filter... I say lose the pod filter (get a stock airbox in there)... get your tint taken off (put a lighter tint on)... don't worry about the exhaust, the WRC will cover this too... just get the WRC done mate... then bring it to a VICROADS office and they will clear it quicksmart... within like 5 minutes you will be free again.... like me...

I have been through hell and back so yeah, PM me if you have any issues...

I know pretty much all the ins and outs of this process...

I would expect he's EPA(ed) you as well.... you should get a letter in the mail in a matter of weeks which instructs you to bring your car to an EPA's office to get tested!

Next time just act like they know everything and be really nice, start a conversation if possible, it attracts attention away from the car. If the piggy still gives you that little piece of yellow paper, I say get your money's worth go into an industrial state cut some mad skids, do something you think is worthy of that yellow canary. That's my own personal judicial system anyway.

window tints are not a big problem in SA i think.....i got mine i think on the sides a bit below the legal limit the back has a very light tint and none at the front not even on the top.....did they db test your exhaust....and what kind of air intake do you have....feel sorry for u bro....

whats the bet your tint is too dark, your exhaust is too loud and your air intake is shit?

just bring it to a good mechanic, get that person to fix up all defected items as per that copper's canary then get him to give you a good RWC, bring it to a traffic authorities office and get them to clear it off for you. make sure you get a comprehensive rwc done as this will avoid future problems for you.

good luck

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
