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

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
