D E F E C T E D !

got defected earlier

for bonnet pins which is understandable

surprisingly the cop wasn't a complete arsehole to me, i told him straight up that ill be civil if he is civil with me and he agreed :)

did the usual "pop your bonnet" and was looking for aftermarket shit , told him straight up that there isnt a boost controller on this , nor is there an aftermarket BOV.

tested my lights out and everything , didnt bother with my exhaust , told me to fix the ride height (understandable) and the passangers seat (had a little bit of movement)

and i also had my ecu sitting in the passangers foot well and all the wires under the steering colum hanging down but he didnt mind it :D

all in all , a lucky night for me , im glad he wasnt a prick to me ended up having a chat with him and then i ended up leaving

fk me was it sketchy trying to leave without my 2 way engaging :(

oh and i didnt get a fine , WIN!

ill have it off defect today , easily =]

thank you sapol for restoring my faith in decent cops being existent :)

amen. they are few and far between *nod*

it also depends alot on how you pull up and exit your vehical.

i have only encounted 1 wanker of a cop and that was in a daily so nothing to defect.

im waiting for them to now pull me over in my 31.

i recon its gunna be the plates that will do it.

but meh. its mod plated for the rb20det and im gunna keep it fairly stock.

if they want to they will always find something tho.

Nice 1 Mitch, how did you get the ride height adjusted so fast to clear the defect? Stockers from the white beast?

only got done for the bonnet pins so i left the height :(

cops at norwood were chilled , the one who i was speaking to was like "wtf as if thats classed as a defect" then i said yeah its incase you hit a pedestrian so you dont slice them up

and he relied with "mate if you hit a pedestrain they are well and truly f**ked anyways" hahaha

such a chiller xD

Mitch, I believe you've set a new record time for clearing a defect :sick:

I'm heading out the door in a bit to take the Suzuki TLR 1000 for its first ride in 18 months. 1000cc of v-twin noise. Bike is a defect magnet, with its full titanium race exhaust system and no baffles, as loud as a Hardley, so wish me luck :D

I'd imagine they are but if people are driving like cocks they will do anything to defect your car. That is usually the way it works.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
