The Defected Thread...

From my experience with him, he seems like a fairly decent guy just doing his job.

And he explained why the bc and wheel studs were illegal. Then gave me an opportunity to fix it up. Can't ask for more than that I guess?

saturday nite... drive my pos even tho i knew i shouldnt have

pulled up in a servo on the phone. stopped at the entrance. car pulls up behind me and waits. i look a bit closer its a cop car...

anyways, i take off to go park next to an ultimate pump (2x 90deg turns) and hear my awesome diff doing its thing chirping its tits off on the smooth surface haha.

they pull up next to me. gimme a death stare, i jump out, "how can i help you officer?" get a reply "Regency for you mate" i look confised... "whys that?" he asks me for my license, then tells me "just go home, dont be an idiot" and leaves.

so here i am left standing with a roll cage, locked diff, slammed, wheels, straight through twin pipe, in primer with rivets in the rear quarter and zipties holding the thing together.

not a bad nite lol.

sounds to me like some of us are getting a little bit of a break, they're not cracking down as hard on skylines it seems?

it probably helps when the cop see's that you're not an idiot.

I reckon that is the main thing.

If you are a dick, and stand-offish, and argue, then you won't get any chances.

That's not to say you can't ask questions, but be civil about it.

If they see you are a decent person they usually give you one chance.

My experience with cops in general actually. If you know you've done something wrong, don't argue. And even if you haven't, don't be a dickhead

Hey guys i'm getting a Wide body kit for my R32 carbon fiber with a carbon fiber bonnet,

I'v hidden my boost gauge in the dash u literally need to pull whole dash out to get to it, Was wanting to know how much shit i would get into if i got pulled over,

[Damo_R34]

you're looking at around 1-2 years jail, maybe just a hefty fine if you have a good lawyer.

srsly, the boost controller is the least of your worries.

[RB25PWR]

He said boost gauge LOL. I hope you do mean controller... wtfs the point of a gauge if you can't see it

[Damo_R34]

Lol yeah i read gauge but i thought since he was hiding it, its probably a controller.

[Rolls]

ahahah you hid a boost guage, what is the point of that?

[DamageInc]

ahahah you hid a boost guage, what is the point of that?

so that know one knows how much boost he's hitting , duh!

its the new cool thing

[SkyHi_33]

depends on the carbon fiber. if its dual layer and kevlar backed then it is legal. you still need to get an engineer to have a look at it and note down any changes in your guard eyebrow height (im assuming you got widebody guards) and change them accordingly before regency will approve it.

if its just kinezi carbon fibre then no it wont ever be legal as its a major safety risk should you hit a pedestrian or something as cf without any backing just shatters in to shards and causes an unnecessary safety risk.

[xskyyline]

boost controller... my bad.

[Madaz]

SA people are easily amused

[scandyflick]

ahahah you hid a boost guage, what is the point of that?
