Well as much as i love my car iv apparently done something wrong to the cops, defecting me for the second time in less then 2 years.. Pay rego for it to sit in the garage collecting dust..

Well here is the sitcho. Well i got defected where else but chapel st, but befor you say u stupid c*** asif do chapel laps.. i wasnt, i live near there and i was goin to rebel sport at like 3pm during day.

ok so here is the damage:

Parcel shelf - inspect for structural integrity(previous owner cut holes for 6x9's)

Bumper Bar - inspect for structural integrity

Pod or intercooler, not both.

Windscreen - to be inspected

Tyre placard - to be fitted

So i got my stock airbox and windscreen has nothing wrong with it, think he just felt like writing more that day. But the big problem im having is "Inspect for structural integrity" went to the mechanics today and the guy said i have to get engineers to have a look at it :P... well just wanted to know if this is correct and if it is dose anyone know were and how much this is going to cost me???

Thanks for reading

I had to get checked for structural integrity when my car was being repaired.

Its not a big deal really, cost me $100 and an hour of my time. Brought the car to the engineer along with photos of the repair project, he looked at the chassis and a few other things and signed a piece of paper.

did you repair it your self?? or did you have the engineer repair it??

Repaired by my old man and uncle and then taken to the engineer for approval. Actual cost was $138.40. Took four hours from an accredited workshop. No big deal really.

dude being defected for the second time in less than 2 years is not alot, i would call that being pretty lucky.

try being defected 2 times in 3 weeks!!!!

and as for what u wer defected for, they are no major problems, wen u start getting sent for epa emmisions tests then u know u got a problem

lol my old datto got 13 defects and i didnt even let them get under the bonnet to see the 230hp z18et in there lol

some people get all the luck lol

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
