OK folks, slang terms for genitalia of any genter are out!

getting back to the subject, bloody defects for bloody shit.

MADGT4, I would definately be checking to see if coppers get their ears calibrated before they go on patrol, just to make certain they can tell the differnence between a car at 89dB and 90dB. Without testing, how in gods name can they fine you for it. Be a bit like saying " I knew you were speeding, cos you have done it before, so have a fine" Man its just bull shit.

You talkin to me man or wot? About gettin the defect off?

And plus i'm gonna probably get what i was originally gonna get which is a GTi-R and the cops down here will just think its a hatch back with a zorst so i won't get any trouble.......

I know it sucks but this is like the second time i been done in like 3 months and i was also just told if it happens again then its a (spelling) Statutory Write Off or some shit and i dunno if its true or not so i don't wanna b stuck with no car and shit if u know wot i mean

My mate jase sold his 180 cos he was forever being defected only to buy a relatively crap 280z and got defected again within f**k all time of owning it.

Statutory write off? Err wtf? how can they do that when you're car is deemed road werthy when it goes through Reemgency?

Sorry MADGT4, i was talkin to Hippy before, but what i was gonna say to him may help u.

When my car got defected, i found a place that "hires" out parts for a few days. I hired a stock BOV airfilter exhaust wheels for 150 and went to regency. No more defect.

Best 150 ive ever spent hehe. **** those regency wankers and the dickheads that issue defects.

Ok but at the end of the day, we get defected, they're doing their job.. and as are the guys at regency. We all have 2 make livings, some worse then others, and a cop does what he or she does, or they get the sack basically, like all of us at work.

and yea we all know there's good cops and bad cops, but there's nothing we can do about it, havin wankers is part of life.

Even thou it's against what we think, as a group we should accept that this is gonna keep happening, because we dont make the rules that say what we are and aren't allowed to do.

We take the risk when we modify our cars, but bitch about it when we get done? Whats the go there?? We modify our cars, knowing that the more work we do to our rides, the bigger targets we become, yet we keep modifying them, keep getting defected, and keep complaining? go figure

Im not havin a go at anyone for what they think about regency, or cops, cos i think the same as everyone else here.

I know that when i go out i'm more likely to be targetted for having the car i have and doing the things i do then most of the other drivers on the road, but, thats hte choice I made, when i bought my car, and did the mods i have done, so I have 2 live with it.

As much as we hate being defected (and no offence to MADGT4 what so ever here mate) I think we need to realise that it's not gonna end, and we have 2 stop bitchn about it.

well sometimes i hate reading things like "not cops are all bad" and the ... "well thats a good cop story" ... when u haven't done anything wrong and they stopped u ... i mean if they were a good cop who geniunely was interested in doing good cop stuff ... good cops will know the laws they are enforcing ... not bring up some bs about ... i think its too loud so i will defect u .. or ... just a routine check to check that your car is safe ... i mean we have lives too and time costs money for some people ... why should we waste our time on that crap ... if u were doing something wrong like road racing then sure stop the driver and get them for whatever... but not an innocent car enthusiast like madgt4 ... seems like nice guy ;) *wink* *wink* :D

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
