The Defected Thread...

[Rocky88]

got defected last night again on port road... cop was a cock as uisually... he said that next time i get defected i wont be able to renew my registration (yea right)... and that I'll lose my license (wtf)... and yea, apparently i have aftermarket brake cylinder lol  ... i just stayed quiet all the time and said 'have a good night officer' at the end lol

oh and yea, i tested positive for meth twice lol... then 3rd time it tested negative

[Krishy]

Yeah rok stop taking the meth mate

[Rocky88]

i got done for tyres. all 4 had worn the inside edge out unknowingly!?!?! plus they were borrowed tyres while mine get re-rolled. the cops were at strath this morning(big set up like 5-10 bikes, had a r33 pulled over on the opposite side and were pulling everyone over inc bikes). they were good, open and honest. not attitude at all. told me things to make sure i check before i in for my inspection.

4 years and first actual run in with them.

[CRoNic...]

Stay off the rocks, Rok. Haha

Prepare for a Skyline/defect onslaught after the weekends events. Front page of the Advertiser isn't doing Skyline owners any good.

im sort of glad i have a daily now

[SLED]

lol Steve, with everything that's been happening lately (and no doubt will get worse) I thank the son of rajab daily for my daily!

[Madaz]

amen brother

[typevu]

+1 for a daily... even when my daily is an absolute death trap.

[SkyHi_33]

hmm might hold off selling the bike a while longer :S

[Turbz_13]

was talking to a friend of mine friday night who is currently training to become a police officer. he told me he went out on his first placement last week and apparently they were pulling over all imported nissan's, toyota's etc. basicly he said if it was an import it was a target. i think this is totally unfair

[bezender]

once my daily is up n going, it will be just as defectable as my weekender lol

"but officer, the ke36 came from factory with a snail that will suck a small child off the sidewalk"

/sigh

[sneaky1]

yes im thankful for the daily. but now i have 2. the falcon and the ke70.

[rad100]

wooot ke70!!!

[PREISS]

Interesting how we all gotta get dailys now.

Even tho most would be more dangerous and crap than most imports.

[heslo]

I find that funny too Craig... bit of irony there, by hunting down and targeting imports they are putting people behind the wheel of cars they don't give two shits about and are at times far from road legal in terms of tread, brakes, body condition, etc

thus is to true. my falcon is ok but the ke yea.

brakes are ave but working. runns like shit atm. matte black rattle can paint. rust etc etc. but they wanna look at my skyline. stops on a dime due to upgraded brakes, good tread, not to loud, great suspension etc etc. but it has a snail on it so it must have a BOV so cops love to look at it.

was sitting at a set of lights at 645am on sat mon in the skyline and a cop stopped and stared at me instead of turning in the opposite direction i was goin. i took off when the lights went green and then he took off. 5 sec later he turned off his lights, dropped a u bolt at first possibele instance and went to follow me with lights off. i knew he was there as i watched it all happen. WTF is with that??? i didnt do anything wrong and my car doesnt look like a drift pig. it was actually just washed as i was on the way to display it the old skool new age car show. bout time they got their prioritys right.

[scandyflick]

yeah, my dailys f**ked. tyres are always worn second handies, brakes are a meh, suspension is looser than a $2 you-know-what, got more oil leaks than the exxon valdez, and drops coolant like its going out of style, it even looks like a death trap, but itll get waved through every defect/rbt. without fail. ive been given a formal warning for it once, and that was when the front tyres were down to canvas.

[PREISS]

Think I might look for a $20 daily myself. seems the go.

Something with AC tho.

[typevu]

I got a 1981 Toyota Corona picked it off a mate for $250. It moves so thats the main thing.

- steering wheel vibrates ALOT

- tyres arent bold but they're shit

- brakes squeals but who cares it still brakes

- headlights probably lights up about 10 metres max of road infront

- engine has more oil on the engine block than inside the engine I reckon

- coolant is a mixture of green and brown... brown is the rust.

- engine is a gutless piece of crap and tends to hold traffic up - I tend to drive behind trucks because they're capable of getting up to speed faster at the lights

- struggles to do 60km/h up any slope let alone reaching the signed speed limit of 80km/h

- feels like a deathtrap at 80km/h on bumpy roads... now imagine said road while raining and shitty windscreen wipers.

- engine smells pretty bad - I dont even wind the driver's side window down anymore seems to come from that side - winding down the passenger side is fine.

- dont think it has a cat either being a 1980s car

think thats all...

This one time went through an RBT and the officer said I could turn off my engine while he does the drug test... I told him it'll probably wont turn back on if I turn it off haha so he lol'd and said leave it he doesnt want to be pushing me out.
