Demisters should be fine. I only needed to pick at the corner to get the tint up enough for me to pick at with my finger and peel off the rest of the way so didnt need the blade to go anywhere near the lines. But yea, I cant believe it was so easy and I was going to pay $110 to have it removed!

so are u keeping it or selling it after getting it off defect???

so if a COP PULLS UP BEHIND U AND RUNS YOUR PLATES THROUGH HIS COMPUTER WILL IT SAY THAT YOUR CAR HAS BEEN "DEFECTED" IN THE PAST???

so are u keeping it or selling it after getting it off defect???

Decided I'd keep it... wanted to sell it because I was annoyed at it and couldnt be stuffed anymore but after calming down I cant let go of it just yet just because some cop doesnt like Skylines. :P

Was given a written warning the other day for my factory MOMO wheel in the MX5 because "apparently i didnt have the ADR certificate with me. next time he said "it will be off to regency with you young man"

Its a factory wheel FFS. on a side not he didn't look twice at the fixed back so i cant really complain

has everyone who has been defected by this twat gone and made a complaint? its benneficial that you do

are you for real

what are you going to say in the complaint um "to the body that be please reprimand Niel for defecting my car because it didn't adhere to ADR's just because i think he doesn't like skylines"

GROW UP people

im sick of hearing about Neil this and Neil that, he is only doing his job and the more you guys bag him the more fuel you add to the already ablaze fire, act like men and cop it on the chin fix whats defectable and MOVE on

i was referring to mechanical mods in the above post ;)

seen plenty of engine bay pics from members in various threads... always chrome bits n pieces with colour coded silicone joiners and painted stuff... what do you expect when a cop lifts the bonnet :P

only seen a couple stealth bays... that is not to say a lot more people aren't doing it tho.

are you that dumb? or just arrogant?

he is not following the correct methods of defecting, whatever happened to police actualy measuring things and testing sound level??? you are more than within your rights to make a complaint if the officer in question isnt following guidelines and you felt you have been unfairly dealt with..... for example "illegal air filter" that is BS, so make a complaint about it, its police harrasment.

so if your done carrying on like a 12 yr old can we get back to the topic?

agree 100%.

complain enough and his chances of promotion / advancement within the force is NIL

Rocky & Vu should be making a formal complaint IMHO

Unfortunately, he is for real Steve.

I've reversed a few mods myself, as I'm not a fan of not having my Stagea. I've been pulled over a few times now in it and I've been lucky. Whilst the mods are only minimal (pod filter, boost gauge), it did come to the attention of Neil. He let me off and gave me a chance to reverse some of those mods, which I have done. Take the hint guys.

The cops are all over Hanson Road, pulling over any car ... not singling out imports. Any car. Drive a blatantly defectable/unsafe car, or hoon around, expect to be noticed.

Old japanese saying: "Nail that stands out in floor, is first to be hit with hammer."

beleive it or not but complaints do actually get dealt with, within the police, so it is worth the 20 minutes of your time to make the formal complaint. its a little bit of paper, no lawyers, no court fee's just a simple a4 bit of paper that carry's alot of weight within the force

The nail that sticks out gets hammered - Tokyo Drift.

It is an actual saying, not a movie quote. Heard it when I lived in japan ... so it must be authentic! :D

I won't take anyone's side here but reading through some of the posts about this Neil fella, I don't recall reading anything that he has done that wouldn't be within the parameters of the law.

At the end of the day, he only needs to suspect that you have a vehicle that doesn't comply with ADR's or emissions and within his power can pull you over. He doesn't have to measure anything either, to send you to Regency.

Based on the little that I've read in regards to his methods (and I know he's become a nemesis to many of you), one complaint alone to his sarg (cause he's only a conny) without any substantiated evidence of ill treatment towards any of you, will end up either in their shredder or bathroom for when they run out of toilet rolls.

A few harsh words from a copper may hurt your feelings but will hardly get him a reprimand, let alone off the force!

30 years ago you would've copped a boot up the ass from him as part of the deal, lol.

If you drive a non compliant vehicle and they eventually catch up with you, smile and cop it on the chin cause it was good while it lasted.

no doubt Rhys, but it may fall on deaf ears unfortunately.

If all of you that have had experiences with him had a similar outcome and feel justified in pursuing it, get together and go and see your local MP first.

By following proper channels you'll have a bigger voice.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
