Nothing was really said that is incriminating.

Well nothing to really worry about anyhow. I'm sure a cop would be able to distinguish between the thin crappy paper they use to the 80gsm stuff that we use. It would never look the same unless you were really good and most of us probably arnt' :)

I remember seeing an Avtar of the owners car.. It was a dark greyish colour with black wheels and the rim towards the outside was a darkish red colour.

He burned left around the round about (after he pulled in front of me) and I saw that it was running quite rich.. Not lots but like a small skinny stream of black smoke (fuel) from the exhaust.

I think he saw me give it a bit up flagstaff hill as the turbo's do love the hills :)

I get pulled over by cops around Golden Groive regularly, they seem to like turning their lights on, and then driving right on by when you pull over, it has happened to me at least 3 or 4 times along the Golden Way. In one week I was pulled over and id'd three times coming away from there, supposedly due to a spat of car's like mine being stolen.

Chris32, which printer do you work for, or are you your own operation?

NO, the cop would not give me the list he had on him. Dont know if you can get it from motor reg or not. Its hard too know what you can and cant do if we havent got a list. We need a list of ADR's for each car.

This is the closest I have found of anything on the net guidelining vehicle modification, it doesn't cover much but there is a bit of useful info in there, it is for NSW but should pretty much be the same for anywhere else.

It would be great if we would be able to compile a list of defectable mods so we have some idea of what we can be done for if we're caught

i got defected last night .. but it was only an official warning luckily cause one of my head light globes blew up .. i only noticed it 2 days ago and i'm going today to fix it up ... there was no need to do any paper work but the ****er of a pig decided he had to ... could of just told me my globe was screwed and let me go .. but no he said .. "this is just an official warning so if u get pulled over again they will know that u have been warned!!! and you will get defected!!" ... screw them .. as if u would drive a decent car and not get little things like this fixed up ... oh well at least he didn't defect me for anything else ... the first thing he asked was .. is it a turbo?? this is the second time i've been pulled over .. the first time the cop pulled me over because my passenger didn't have a seat belt .. he got away with it ... and also that time the pig asked ... is it twin turbo?? LOL whats it with these cops and turbos?? can't they just do some reading so they would know??? they should get of their asses and do some research ...

Dude, (oops sorry, kanga:D) he actually gave you a permit to have a bust light bulb, cos if another copper had pulled you over, you could have waved the bit of paper in his face and would have been on your way. If you got pulled over again, with nothing to show, you could have copped a regency insp if he/she was being a fark head.

I think your best go out and buy a lotto ticket:) Pulled over twice, not defected, and both times let off with a warning.

well i asked him .. are u going to defect me?? and he said .. i'm thinking about it ... what a d1ck hahaha ... anyways the light bulbs gone and i couldn't get it out and it broke so the bulb is still in there .. how to get it out?? i just put in a new one just then ...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
