bought my new car lastnight.....

pulled out of the dudes street....

highway patrol pulls me over.....

defect for bold tyres.....

has to be a record with that one haha less then a minute of owning the car and i get defected haha

at least it was only a cop shop though :thumbsup: the cop was very chill and i know he could have done more if he wanted but didnt

also gave me 120hours to drive the car. i thought the most you could get was 72? either way i bought new tyers and the cars off defect :P

think that might be the record, i think it was mac dog that was done within the first few minutes of buying his daily.

Had a lucky one today! Got pulled into a random licence check station near the Village, then get asked to pull off to the side.

Cop asked me to pop the bonnet and prepare for a roadworthy inspection, i nearly shat! As Krishy and Chad know, nothing is hidden in my engine bay! Open pod filter, boost controler solenoid, atmo catch can, intercooler and not the quietest exhaust. Both the cops were really nice guys, and surprisingly the older one knew what stuff was! Quick check around the car, asked about BOV (std plumback), bit of chit chat about the car then i was sent on my way!

My views of SAPOL have now changed :)

Missus reckons i've got the gift of the gab :(

Good to hear James. They're not as bad as you'd think. :(

personally i would clear it, and that means a full regency inspection to my knowledge what if you feel the need to go to Melbourne again you will get reamed for not fixing it

how would regency inspection clear vic defect?

I can confirm. The SA police will have NO record of the defect on their system. I got done the same way while driving home from Melbourne and took it to the cop shop down here. They knew nothing of it and told me not to worry about it. However as I had to change over from WA to SA plates I needed an inspection as only on Regency's database does this defect come up. So yes, you can peel off the sticker and drive around, just don't go back to Melbourne or they will do you but I don't think you will be able to re-register your car while it's still defected in Melbourne. Best bet, call up TransportSA, I'm sure they can clear it up for you

a defect station tried defecting the stag for the factory tint. at hackham.

then the tool claimed it was the windscreen he was refering too. how can someone be allowed to defect a car when they are so F**king cluless about roadworthy laws.

left without a defect sticker but a fine for not displaying rego sticker.

just wondering if i got defected for my front mount intercooler.. because the chassis is cut.

is there a way of hiding that?

what would be the best way of fixing it? or is there a certificate i can get to have it 'roadworthy'?

and what penalties am i looking at? like fines etc..

cheers.

Define "chassis is cut"

If you mean the circular hole underneath the washer bottle, that's fine, however if your reo bar has been cut to fit the FMIC then no, it's not legal and if you ever were defected you would need a new reo bar to pass

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
