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.

Found it browsing the mallala homepage:

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.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
