i only got the pod filter secured on a bracket a few weeks ago when i got my turbo put in to avoid gettn defected for it. all the mods on my car are very hidden including the power fc unit. the cop couldnt find anything hence why he defected me for bullsh*t mods.

i am going to make an official complaint, ive got the sheet. I had my mate with me so he can back me up with what happened.

but it's true some cops pull me over to check if the car stolen and then they would usually say 'nice car' or something friendly, but unfortuantly i got an arsehole.

It sucks that Skylines are being targeted, but basically your defectable car got defected, and you're going to complain because they defected you for the wrong things?

Let us know how that goes.

Unfortunatley it is the sad truth that the police can pull you over for no reason and slap a defect on your car.

It does not even have to be defectable it is only in the opinion of the police officer to be defectable.

Everytime we drive our cars on the road we are taking the risk of being defected and especially if you have been defected before and are in the system. :(

It's not about empathy, I feel he is going to end up making the situation worse for himself, rather than better.

Also your contribution since arriving here is far from positive for the skyline community zamels - "OMG MY CAR RATTLEZ AT 260 IZ IT NORMAL?".

like Carl said Elliot, be careful with your words when writing a complaint to the porks.

Most complaint matters of this regard would usually get tossed and put through the shredder without the complaints advocate even taking any action to investigate it. and when you go to chase them up and try and push them into some action desicion making with the complaint, they will reject your request, and just make you line up and go through the system (ie vehicle inspection) like everybody else.

Believe me, i tried mate!

but good luck though.

Anything can happen if things get in the hands of the right or wrong person working within the transport arm of SAPOL.

One of my mates that had been defected a few weeks ago were in the car, he was explaining that an internal wastegate was needed, but the pig said to us if we say anything else he'll book me for something else.

i was coming down milne road toward mcintyre road, he was behind me on milne but decided to follow me then pull me over down the bottom of mcintyre.

i went to the cop shop right after it happened i gota a blank stare from the stupid bitch at the counter, so i just said get me a complaint notice. Im just really pissed coz my car will be off the road for ages while i source stock suspension, airbox, take out power fc, avc-r, turbo....ect.

Don't forget the injectors (and you'll have to source some standard ones cause the standard ecu won't run the 550cc's), some standard suspension etc etc.......

nice empathy, tool

Apparently i have a friend lol. Im aware that my car was defectable, but it is annoying when you put so much money and time into making the car inconspicuous and you get pinned.

im not stupid either im aware that sapol are very closed ranks and that any attempt to attack a police officer would be a one sided affair. i can be tactful while alerting them to the problem

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
