SirSkyline Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Sorry off topic I know But I have a question if someone can answer it for me. Im from Queensland and I have a highly moded R33 up there and I was thinking of bringing it down to sa. But I have seen the cops pull over that many cars its not funny. My question is how bad are the cops down here for defects ?

Damo_R34 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 how long is a piece of string? all depends on how lucky/unlucky you are, not many (if any) SA people know the situation in QLD so we cant compare really Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219647-the-cruise-wasteland/page/4/#findComment-3875722 Share on other sites More sharing options...

*flick* Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Ive been pulled over many a time.. but I never got the car defected. Had warnings etc though. Luke was driving it, 1 week after I got it, and we were pulled over and defected. I tried to reason with the cop, saying it was my car but nup.. Said only had it a week, was exactly how i bought it, but nup. Got pulled over twice in like 4 days not long ago. First one was nice, said he was a rev head and such, gave me warning bout my plates. 2nd said my car was nice, seen it around, did a breath test n let me go. Got my lancer defected - pleaded innocent, acted like a total dumb ass, put on the tears.. but that didnt work. 2nd defect, on the line.. went ballistic.. called the cop a wanker, slammed the door, walked off, nup that tactic didnt work either lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219647-the-cruise-wasteland/page/4/#findComment-3876238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJZX100 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 2nd defect, on the line.. went ballistic.. called the cop a wanker, slammed the door, walked off, nup that tactic didnt work either lol yeah that way doesn't usually end in your favour I've only ever had 2 defects, both cop shops. One was my old KE55, just bought some rims off a mate and he had been doing skids in his shed on them, so the rear tyres were cactus. Had tyres lined up the next day and got pulled over on my way to the shop Second was my Sprinter, done for hand brake not locking on and no horn button not a bad result I thought, seeing as the copper missed the 4AG conversion, cable ties everywhere, no carpet/sound deadening/rear trim Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219647-the-cruise-wasteland/page/4/#findComment-3876456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyRS4 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) Only ever been defected twice for BS things: First time, a few years ago with my SR20 powered, supercharged Datsun 200B. I had an Engineers Report to prove the legality of the car, but 'no' the two traffic cops wanted to defect me regardless. They only ended up getting me for tyres, which had no less than 80% tread, but they claimed the rubber was scrubbing the radius rod. BS! Went straight to the cop shop and had it taken off and dismissed without any charges or fees. Second one, 2 years ago a traffic cop defected my Suzuki TLR motorbike for indicators less than 24cm apart (they were actually 32cm apart!). I argued with this prick for 10 minutes. Ended up going to Regency (for indicators!) and even the inspector thought the cop was a knob. Removed the defect ... again without any charge or fees. It was funny considering I have a full Yoshimure race system on the bike and its loud as hell, and many other mods he could have gotten me for. But he had no clue and could only get me for indicators! Even then he made that up. Oh, and I get pulled over all the time on the motorbikes! Comes with the territory I guess ... being an outlaw on wheels Edited May 19, 2008 by RubyRS4 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219647-the-cruise-wasteland/page/4/#findComment-3876812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
