A lot of us do drive like dicks at times, if you saw a commodore pull out of a sidestreet and hang the back out for no reason doing 80 in a 60 you would laugh when he got defected. Even if it was 11pm on a Tuesday with no one around.

When you are honestly doing nothing and get done then I can see where the anger comes from.

sorry didnt mean for that comment to anger people, im all for spending a bit of time and money to make a car look good but when people drag race and kill other people it ruins it for others and what happens a blitz on all imports even if there are more rust buckets out there but thats a never ending story. reality is one day we wont even be aloud to have a cd player in the car without getting a defect :/ life sucks :(

bottom line is there are always people out there who are going to ruin anything for everyone else and we are all the unlucky ones

"bottom line is there are always people out there who are going to ruin anything for everyone else and we are all the unlucky ones"

yep :(

Bit confused what regency meant by "child restraints" and how to actually fix it. Since i have after market rear speakers (6" clarions) sitting in the parcel shelf of my r34 gtt coupe, what do i need to do to rectify this defect?

I do know the stock speakers have holes going straight through them to the mounting points. Not sure what to do here, any help / advice?

Do you have the mounting points for the child restraints already fitted? If so you don't need to do anything, this should have been done when the car was imported.

Regency had a go at me because I didn't have the actual child restraint hooks, however if you have the anchor points this is all that is needed, they can be fairly hard to see and find but if you have them then this is all that is required.

I knew this day was coming. So here it is, I got DEFECTED last weekend in Berri. I was driving my mates car and he was driving mine. He got pulled over, I kept going. He called back saying that the cops wanted me to bring his car back so that they can have a look at it and possibly defect it as well. When I rocked up the first thing the cop said was "your car is being defected". So instantly I asked why it was being defected for, the older cop said, for BOV, boost controller and aftermarket turbo. All is fine but the BOV is stock, and the boost controller he pointed to my Master brake cyclinder stopper.

Being defected wasn't an issue, the issue for me here is that the cop told me that I was getting a fine for driving my mates car which they deemed defectable. So I would get the fine for being the driver at that time and my mate would get the fine for driving my car which was defectable. This is where I have a small issue, I got a fine for my car for not complying with ADR standards and a defect, but on the other hand my mate didn't get a fine or a defect. So this is what I am confused about? I wasn't the driver of my car at the time of being pulled over and defected. Yet the fine has been made out to me.

Can anyone please clarify this for me?

Lol you guys have never done a skid before? Rose coloured glasses anyone?

haha

NO - Ive never done a "skid" before.

Never, not once since I got my L's on my 16th birthday 18years ago.

My poison was "going fast" back when I used to ride bikes, so I know Ive done wrong previously, however that being said, I dont go over the limit simply because I couldnt afford to pay out a speeding fine! That, and with the fear of defect, my Stagea is for sale.

Krishy - sorry to hear mate. Thats not good :(

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
