same

havent been pulled over for near 10yrs now?

[SkyHi_33]

Yeah but how many of you drive your car daily? How many kms per week?

I drive mine EVERY DAY, do at least 500kms a week.

Ive beed defected 6 times last year, twice this year. none of which I've done anything wrong, always nice and polite to the officer, never driving like a dick causing trouble. (ok a couple times i had massive wheels on but that does not reflect my atitude, driving style or personality).

Doesnt matter what anyone says, its blatantly obvious that imports are an easy target and they know that 99% of the time they get away with defecting anything they like for anything they want.

The only defect I've gotten was for driving at the speed limit sensibly not swerving or doing anything out of the ordinary, minding my own business heading to a restaurant to have breakfast.

I saw the cop took a good look at me as soon as his car popped out of a side street.

He did the exact same thing months later, pulled out of the same side street and comes up to my rear as I was waiting at the traffic lights - as soon as I saw who the cop was I knew what its going to be about.

Both times was a random breath test but he wasnt at all interested at all about the reading nor if I was acting strange due to drugs or anything - he just wanted the bonnet popped open and he went straight towards where a boost solenoid would of been - second time around there was nothing there so off he went.

I drive mine EVERY DAY, do at least 500kms a week.

I've driven a skyline as a daily for the last 5 years, drive it almost every single day with no issues. Where do you live? I wouldn't even get the opportunity to be pulled over most days, there just aren't that many police around.

[mid life crisis]

just on 5yrs now been pulled over once for a " breath test" but when he seen it was a old fart i didnt even get breath tested lol just said have a nice day and drive safe that was it ...i was shitting myself cause my tint is dark as and the milo tin exhaust he prob thought it was my sons car :-).

since i put my mid life crisis sticker on the back ive never been looked at .

Chunk Out of rear left tyre

Modified steering wheel & horn not working

Which are both no brainers

Theyre defectable. Can hardly complain about it. They even make sense imho.

oh im sorry captain obvious (Y) !

the tyre was hardly a defect... it had a bit of sidewall missing which did NOT affect anything what so ever

the horn was just a relay

i dont get why its a regency...

i guess they need to fund crispy cremes some how..

[Rolls]

so yeah i got another defect

but this is a crock of shit ,

read it...

Um they are both defectable items, unless the steering wheel has a boss kit and is ADR approved it is defectable as it could cause serious injury in an accident, same goes for the tyre, theres a chunk missing? It could blow out at high speed or if you spin the wheels, also very dangerous.

I'd replace them and go to the police station though, they should be able to clear it as I didn't think they were regency required.

i dont get why its a regency...

Because otherwise you could get a blow out, spin out and hit another car injuring yourself, your steering wheel which doesn't have an approved boss kit fails to collapse properly and smashes your head open. They are reasonable defects.

the tyre is fine , had numerous tyre shops confirm this

plus i had two new tyres fitted 3 hours later...

ive got the paper work from when it went through regency a couple months ago saying it passed so i dont see what the issue should be

+1 yes, its a MINOR defect so u can clear it at the station

and +2 for both those above points cause theyre exactly the reason its defected

i had a cop pull me over in january and point out I had a sliver missing on one of the rears and that he could have defected me but told me to change it...

went to blackwood tyrepower and got sorted but thats a whole nother story

afaik the only adr approved aftermarket steering wheels are all Momo, which sucks if you have a Nardi (like I do)

and by law ALL cars have to have working horns, so thats a no brainer.

Every regency defect ive had has been ticked as minor. When it comes to cops and defects common sence does not apply.
