In my travels the only time I've found an old bomb with a defect sticker on it, was a white sigma that looked to be owned by a fairly old bloke... Was at the police station, cranked over the engine... she fired up, and lots of white smoke just poured from the exhaust. Now thats what I call a dangerous car! First time I ever actually felt happy...

Most of the time I drive past and see a copper on the side of the road he has an import in front of him, only a few times has it been a Commodore.

What shitted me off was the joke they played at Mallala last major event there, with a defect station set up right at the end of the town. Now, tell me if thats not biased?

I get pissed off at the fact that I got done for being too low, when all I see are P.O.S pre 85' that smoke you out when you sit behind them... Annoys me when my car has perfect brakes, perfect handling, is better for the environment... but yet im the one with 2 canary's on my car. -_- Dont wanna scrape those poor speed humps!

Tis amazing seeing the council actually doing some road re-surfacing.

well what can we do hey boys and girls? but turn into a side street when we see the police :whistling:

Too suspicious lol... few mates have told me that they just sit next to the police and dont do anything. Yet, when Im driving.... normally, which I tend to do cos I love my car. :P Im targetted...

I turned down a sidestreet, granted that It WAS a shortcut to get to where I was goin... if only I had kept followin the police car in front of me and turned off another few hundred meters away I would of cleared the defect station. :D

And more to come...

At upcoming meetings myself, traffic Police from Elizabeth, Northern Traffic Enforcement Section along with traffic inspectors from Transport SA will be frequenting your events and the Drift Practice events to detect the offences as mentioned above along with blatant unroadworthy vehicles. I must admit that you organisation run excellent events

I wish you, your organisation, competitors and patrons a safe year of competition, that includes travelling to and from the circuit for ALL drift events. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this or other matters further. I am looking forward to the upcoming year and to participating in my role with ALL events being held at the Mallala Motor Sport circuit.

I'm not sure when the blitz started, but I got hit two weeks ago, but I could tell the weeks leading up to the defect I had more cop attention than normal. Like I said in another post, they've got a quota and we're easy pickings.

Yeh the guy is a member on NS.com, seems like a good bloke!! Not his problem tools drive their overly defectable car out to the track and drift on track and drive home, they deserve a defect, there has been that much talk about cops out at Mallala defecting and so on, and people still drive out get defected AND still whinge about it!!

If you wanna have a "race car" then tow it out like any normal person, problem solvered!!

So the next weekly 100 defects will come from the drift prac this sunday..........

suprised no one has mentioned this....... they usually defect us more because we will spend money and turn over more money to get the car back on the road. We pay the guys at regency.

A piece of shit car will be thrown away without spending a cent if its defected. they know that.

you ever see a piece of shit in regency ?

i totaly agree with you about people driving their cars there ready for the track, but ive see peoples cars being defected while they were on the back of a tow truck and even inside of a tyer workshop getting new tyers and he was defected for the old ones being bold. there just not being fair to the people who are trying to do the right thing.

i also found it weird that after the quota for police to defect cars went up, regency inspection fee's went up aswell :D

i totaly agree with you about people driving their cars there ready for the track,

Last time I did a track day on the bike, I was driving back when all the 'drifters' were on their way in. So many cars driving (not towed) past with missing bumpers, intercoolers standing out like dogs balls, loud systems, existing damage ... and they wondered why they got picked on. :P I agree the cops should play fair, but don't go sulking when ya cars are inviting the cops to nab you.

I love old school. Last car I played with was a 1600. And plenty of 200Bs before then.

Here's a 200B I built with SR20DE motor with Supercharger running 8psi. Upgraded brakes all round, plus lotsa mods to make it all work. This car was f*cking awesome and I got plenty of laughs ... and she was Regency approved!!! Engineers Certificate and all.

There's a supercharged SR20DE hiding under there ... ;)

is your car a piece of poo? NO! read carefully.

i simply ment, old gemini's, vans, etc that havnt been looked after!

unlike yours which is a classic example of a well looked after classic.

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By Last Phantom · Posted

      Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅

      Help needed issue with heater core blower and actuator and need someone to fix this and reinstall dash - 32 - Gtst

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"

      Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?

      NC MX5

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
