im fighting this one. this could be discrimination to me. he gives me a fine defect and wants me to get a new roadworthy for one half bald tyre and then gives my friend a defect and no fine for 4 f**king tyres and no roadworthy. like come on how the hell can you give 2 different things like that. i see it as discrimination.. im appealing this shit

talking about RWC...

i got done last week by an absolute wanker of a cop who was very arrogant and had a personal hate for jap cars. his name or station i will not mention. but i'll have to say this is one of the worst cops i've come across who also got me for a couple other things.

anyways he defected me for no water in the washer bottle, an indicator (the wire had ripped out but it was a 1 minute fix with tape but he refused to let me fix it) and 4 tyres (fronts were road worthy but the rears had slight camber wear).

funnily enough he forgot to tick the "RWC" box on the defect notice.. although he ticked it on the yellow windshield sticker.

with 1/2 a litre of water, 2cm of electrical tape, and a $3 can of tire shine the defect was cleared the next day.

Was this guy in Dandenong by any chance? I copped my 1st (and only) defect there, Snr Cons Dennis Fuh, there's a link on Gtroc.com.au about him defecting some guy outside his own shop, very similar to me. Apparently he is known around the area, kinda similar to Pettit from what I've been told from one of my mates who have also seen him around before... he goes hunting Jap cars specifically and actually told me he pulled me over because, and I quote; "people think this is the Fast and the Furious". Absolute wank, he broke three road rules and nearly stacked with one car to just get to me, and defected me for, get this, my hand brake "being over 7 clicks"! All three mechanics I saw laughed this off as rubbish and just something to write on the paperwork to make it look worse than it really is.

You'll typically see him around Dandenong, Springvale or Clayton areas on weekends usually (he's a part of Springvale TMU) -- keep well away from this one if you can!

^^ lol damn that sucks...Ive been done once in clayton but not buy him...was a Greek guy and he was nice about everything...

More to the point...and the point is...you had a bald tyre. And thats why your appeal will fail. You as the driver need to be aware and check for shit like that as previosuly stated. It doesnt matter if someone else only got so and so. Who cares. Its your responsibility. I know the cop was unreasonable but hey it happens. Thats all part of driving a skyline. As unfair as it is.

Sucks to get a RWC, but again, if you choose to drive with mods or an unroadworthy car then be prepared to cop it.

Fix it. Clear it. Get over it.

I think I got pulled over by Snr Cons Dennis Fuh ages ago... ...My office is opposite Springvale Police Station... ...I turned right just a little quick between traffic... ...may have squeaked the wheels a little... ...pulled into the work car park and backed into a space... ...went inside for about 30 min and he was parked across my car in the carpark when I came out... ...Asked a whole heap of stupid questions about what I do... ...Guessed he thought I was going into the unemployment place downstairs...

I showed him... ...Borrowed my dad's car and Dad took mine to work... ...Dad happens to be the Commander for Springvale and Dandy Police Stations... :P ...has his own car space and REALLY HITS THE FAN IF ANYONE PARKS IN HIS SPOT... ...so no one questions that a car parked in his spot isn't his...

the deal is with a defect.. doesnt matter if its a minor or a major... if the RWC box is ticked, then you have to get one

i just got my back on the road from a DEFECT!! which needed a RWC....

i was having a chat with some of the guys at DT PANELS yesterday, they have had 5 cars come in DEFECTED in 2 weeks.. one of the cars, were just sitting on the street

one of my friends had been DEFECTED for........TOO MANY CLICKS IN THE HANDBRAKE WHEN YOU PULL IT UP!!!!! WTF

point is they will find something to get you with!

Those that hunt for anything just to fck you over are assholes. The Handbrake thing is just rubbish, just proof that they are looking for anything to defect. Tightening it is a two minute thing on my R33.

Don't get me wrong, there are some good cops out there, but a few always give them a bad image.

Whats to make a bet these same officers dont pull over all the old hatchbacks on the road that look to be falling apart. Im sure their handbrakes a pretty worn with time. Could defect everyone of them. -.-

That's hilarious, seems to be the new thing, if you can't get a car for anything legitimate, then just pick on something trivial. I wonder if your friend got the same champion I got :down:

Yeah that's him, there's a pic of him online, if you're creative enough you can find it :google:

how do we reconise this nob jocky... i mean BOV jocky.... ?

Blonde spikey hair, shortish. You won't recognise him by car though, he's in various.

He went over my Pulsar when it was 1.6L N/A looking to defect it, nothing to defect there haha

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
