the amount of days they give you to fix the car is entirely up to the cops discretion - my mate got given 24 hrs to remove his PFC, Pod filter and AVCR, which we all thought was a bit tight.

And don't bother fighting it in court - its your word against the cops word, your mates words won't count for anything as they will be viewed as biased towards you. My lawyer said that 99.95% of cases against Vic Police go their way unless there's undisputable evidence. If magistrates started ruling against the cops, the cops would just stop doing their job and all hell would break loose.

So yeah, sad to say but as aforementioned - just get the RWC, pay the fine and move on mate, best way to go about it

I think the sheer amount of times i get pulled over kinda says thats not the case :)

Sept-Dec last year, i was pulled over minimum once a week.

Its beek ok lately as ive been getting the train :wacko:

that's cos you look like a bogan from packy that's about to rip hektic skids. nothin to do with the car

lol - im coming home from work you boob.

hardly kebab spec westie

fine, its cos you look like a bogan from packy wearing a suit, that's about to rip hektic skids.

LoLZ tets! wtf! that is gold man. jesus...why is it that young people with imports/turbos etc are always seen as people that wanna go fast and race on the streets? why can't we just be car enthusiasts that like to look after our cars alot more then most people?

friend of mine just cleared his defect for a crack in his front bar, too low and 1 tyre to be replaced.

he copped the $186 for driving an unsafe vehicle and also lost 3 demerit points.

it's really up to the cop at the end of the day.

You dont lose demerit points for a unroadworthy fine, if he lost 3 points it was for something else and quite possibly the reason they went so hard on him.

if ur stock height with stock rims .. take his name and badge number.. they legally have to if requested.... then head straight to the nearest cop shop and file a complaint and have the cops at the shop go over your car. the time your defected is noted so head down and show them that theres no way you could have raised your car and changed to stock rims within the time you got defected and arrived at the cop shop...

Just a little update on the situation, Ive rang up another cop station today to try to get some information on my defect. And unexpectely thinking that maybe all cops are not just dicks, this one was a f*king bitch. I said to her nicely her i dont believe i was treated fairly and i did not get a height measure and i ask her nicely can you help me explain my situation. She said what does that have to do with her police station, why are you ringing us for? I said i wanted another police opinion and proof. She goes ring up the person you have spoken to and i explained that the cop wouldnt measure it infront of me on the night and that he was obviously targeting me for no good reason. At the end of the day these guys are just freaken bastards, and doesnt seem to me that any police would help. Also i asked her to explain to me this 7 days that i have to fix the car knowing its a long weekend making my days shorten to only 4. I asked her if this can be extended she also said WHY ASK ME FOR? Then i also asked why was i major defected for out of the 3 things she said HOW WOULD I KNOW ASK THE GUY WHO DEFECTED YOU.

Great job to the police department that knows shit all, ive always thought they were there to SERVE and PROTECT, but i argee with the earlier post serve and protect my f*king ass.

This has made me so angry, i have given up on these people, i think maybe the best way is to pay this fine or watever go get a new seat belt and do another RWC get a real freaken hieght measurement, go to vicroads. But i will still write up a letter to them for my complaint, but as if they are even gonna read it anyways. All up im expecting to pay $700 - 800. There goes my K.Rudd money before i even recieved it.

Sometimes it has to do with your attitude as to the response you get.

But she is right - at the end of the day another officer cannot comment.

You must contact the officer who issued the notice and take it up with them/thier station (and relative senior)

#1, the chick has a very valid point, she knows absolutely nothing about your case and you are asking specific details, then she tells you that you have to ring the officer you continue to ask her questions that she has already told you that she cant answer, at this stage i would be getting really pissed off with you if i was her.

#2, this is going to cost you $700-$800??? what is is wrong with it, if its a legal height then dont worry about, maybe spend $10 and go to bunnings and find a wheel the is 100mm and a broom handle to make sure (thats all vic roads do when you take it in), will take you no tiime or $ to tighten the speakers (which have been proven to be lethal projectiles in an accident so they should be tight any way) and if you not a smoker $3 (im guessing since im not a smoker) for a lighter and lightly singe the edge of the belt (my rwc guy told me to do that :thumbsup: ) but make sure you clean all the ash off just in cash they check for that.

So now add all that up, plus the fine and cost of an rwc and your up for maybe $300 and a pain in the arse.

I have been pulled over many times and have tried every way to deal with them, arguing and questioning there motives is not a good way, although i do like to do it, on occasion i have also questioned there sexual preference, not helpfull but does relieve part of the frustration, just know, if your going to do it the same was i do expect to walk away poorer and with more work to do but a little more satsfied.

Also if your car is legal as you say... then you dont have to do anything other than get a RWC.

Being a RWC is ... wait for it... $75 or less.

I dont know where you get $700 from unless there is indeed stuff you need to get fixed ey??? :thumbsup:

cops love defecting people

if u got time have a listen to this

gotta turn up sound to hear everything.

i just shutup and let her talk LOL

Thats class mate lol. I think she liked the sound of her own voice!!!

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
