first off when pulled over: the blitz blow off valve.

then once in regency:

exhaust a couple of DB too loud

child anchorage points inaccesible

front ride height 30mm too low

rear ride height 20mm too low

bald rear tyres

nothing unusual. they picked on the pettiest of things possible.

the bald tyres were fair & square, but the rest shouldnt matter... they should concentrate on getting the old rust out snot boxes off the road rather than quality grey imports.

Cops suck iv been defected so many times its not funny. I had a cop once try tell me my mufler was too big, i was like wtf??? how can u have too big a muffler??? not loud but physically too big hahaha i laughed at him and said yeh man show me in your book where it says a muffler has to be smaller then a certain size.. he just paused and moved on lol...

but yeh i used to get defected for so many things, they even defected me once for my pedals not having grip, the rest are the usual, turbo, BOV, too low, too loud, POD, boost guage on pillar mount, tints too dark, etc

Hmmm how many can I remember?

Defected for.........

Unsecured brake line on the front strut

Low brake fluid

Small patch of oil on the diff

In the Datto - non retractable seat belts after I replaced the worn ones, had to get a custom made

Unsecured parcel shelf, although it was behind the seat it just wasn't bolted down

Worn tie rod end

Guage mounted below the dash - danger to the knee in a crash apparently

That's a few of the more fun ones, obviously there has been the usual blow off valve, too loud, too low, too good, etc.

I also got a fine for 'failing to maintain adequate control of a vehicle blah blah blah', although just because it was sideways doesnt mean I was not in control.

I just got my work car off cop shop defect for bald tyres, battery clamp and overflow bottel not clamped to chassie. cost me $23.70 what ever happen to the old 20doller charge lol the cop that hade a look at my car dident even know what a overflow bottle was but notice the frount of the car was way to low and after market steering wheel but still let me pass.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
