hey can some one tell me exatly wat is defectable?

coz i have heard mixed things about some mods

e.g. are strut braces defectable? cos some cars have em stock

fmic? are ok right? as long as u got a bumper?

boost gauge? i have one on my stearing collem

Strut braces should be fine, FMIC is ok as long as the bumber support bar is not cut or modified, and boost guage is fine as long as its not above dash level.

FMIC is ok if you havent modified the chassis or supports to fit it

Boost Gauges are OK but Boost Controllers are not

Strut braces are not defectable.

Gauges are only defectable when they're mounted in a position that obscures any part of the windscreen..

If in doubt, call regency and ask them.

-D

alot of this stuff is "legal" but i think you will find on the night/day the cop will still do you for it, and pointing out that an officer is wrong often ends up in more defects :)

Well that depends on if you know what your talking about, and what sort of attitude you have, i've found that most police officers are quite reasonable, unless you give them bad attitude.

u cant get done 4 somthing thats "legal" right

well corect me if i am wrong but this is wat i would do

wait till the cops done his stuff then at the end

ask 4 his name and id no.

take car to regentcy

if there is no problem tell the police ombusman

and bust him!

remeber its ur time and ur money

cops uphold the law they dont make it

he must of pissed SAPOL rite off to get that done! coz thats on his land rite?

dont they need warrents?

It is an offense to sell an unroadworthy car from a car yard, so police often do random inspections at car yards.

As for defecting a legal car, the officer only has to BELIEVE the car doesn't comply with ADR's, there is no onus of proof or accountability. It would be up to you to prove the officer know the car was legal and was deliberately discriminating/harassing you (very hard to prove this usually)

exactly, the larger percentage of officers are pricks and they can beleive anything they want, it still means a trip to regency. if you beleive you are being hard done by politely tell the officer that you are going to record this conversation on your mobile phone......then he has to do everything by the book.

this being said, ive (touch wood) never been harrassed by the long arm of the law while driving, andi hope it stays that way lol

The greater percentage will give you the attitude test, and if you feel you are being hard done by, it will reflect in your attitude. 90% of cops are just doing their job, having illegal modifications is done at our own risk. Having said that, i haven't been defected before.

if a cop wanted to he could defect a car straight off the production line, as soon as it got out those gates, BAMN, yellow sticker.....

so its really irrelevant what youve done to your car, (unless its stupidly low/loud etc) if the cop wants a defect and if quota's are low for that week ur f**ked

you cant tell someone to actively seek out x amount of defectable cars per week, otherwise they lose their job or get reprimanded.

I think that the Police would be more worried about checking that for every car they did pull over (for whatever reason) that they followed the correct protocol, did the right paperwork etc. I have applied for the police force twice now, and have been told both times that i don't have enough life experience.

My own thoughts are that the whole "quota" business is a conspiracy theory derived by import drivers who think the police (traffic cops) are out there on the road wholely and solely to ping them for nothing to make more money for the government. I mean cmon, there are much easier ways for the police force to earn more money, why not increase fines?

that's my 20 yen.

1) they wouldnt say "go ping some more defects" they would have a monthly average that they would need to meet, wether that be via defects, speeding, hoon driving etc

2) i had a mate get turned down for the same reason..............he joined the army lol

3) i am only as of today an import driver, ive come from the classic ford (mk2 rs2000) group, and they have the same thoughts there, and there mainly all 50yr olds living out there teens again lol

4) if police increased fines there would be a massive uproar amongst the community, but if they say there having a defect blitz then the community is like "ahhh good on the police getting those problem P platers off the road".....

5) i had a family friends brand new 4wd, 3 days old get pulled over and defected for tint straight out the factory, these are a 40yrold couple.............if this aint revenue raising what is???

my 2 cents lol

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
