Well on the way home from the Foo Fighters concert in Melbourne a few weeks back got defected on the way home by an asshole Vic cop for "bald tyres" however I explained to him that on the Friday (he did me on Sunday) I rang around for my tyres and they couldn't get me in till Monday. He didn't give a shit and did me. Hence to get the interstate defect lifed, full inspection. Cost an arm and a leg, made my ass so so sore but here I am at the other end finally!

sorry mate, but bald tyres are bald tyres, u should have got new tyres on before u let them become illegal, if u cant u shouldnt drive. u obviously dont realise how much shit is spilt to them on regular occasions, so they just cant take ur word for it. saying that, a full inspection for tyres is pretty stupid as its a minor defect, whats the deal with having to go full inspection because it was interstate?

i thought when you get defected interstate it doesnt matter when your back in adelaide? my mates s2000 got defected here in adelaide and when he got back to sydney, defects from adelaide dont meen nothing. the people at cop shop in sydney just told him to rip of the defect sticker.

nisskid, the tyres were hardly bald, I agree that they were in need of changing, hence why I arranged for it but no where in the realm of illegal

keitz, apparently to get the rego changed from whatever state to SA, the defects must be lifted first... pile of shit I know but that's that....

  • 6 months later...

UPDATE:

im back, after a long break. decided to keep the car, cant sell it on defect for 1 and 2, ppl that were going to buy it were offering me what i felt was bullshit just because it has a sticker on it.

The car needs the following done then im back on cruises (after regency)

Stock suspension

Stock exhaust

Stock turbo heat shield

Decent rubber

+and a nifty way to hide braided water and oil lines going to my turbo -ideas anyone?

above all i need time. working 70h a week is good for buying shit but its shit to get things done.

I'm also ordering a different intercooler that uses the stock return holes from the standard intercooler, hoping this will also add more to hide the turbo and things around that area.

then of course after that i can finally put all my performance shit on and get a tune, something that i been waiting for, for over a freaking year.

got work now, speak soon!.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
