COPYME, I agree completely. Are you sure this guy is on the level? I would have thought 99% of people would have raised hell if a copper took to their car with a stanley knife.

If you dont want this to happen again, you will need to go into settings and delete all your cookies and then next time you visit you will be need to login, uncheck the 'remember me' check box (or whatever it is called) and login. The cookies then wont be downloaded.

Pretty sure he gave little descriptions bout what happened, and he wouldn't have if he was having a tug.

if anyone, including a police force member touched my window tint, id be mailing their balls to them via australia post.

I believe a cop touching your window tint, especiailly with a stanley knife, is property damage, what would have happen if he had made a nice big scratch into the glass of the window...

My lawyers would have a field day with it! People need to know that just because they wear a badge does not make them god!

I know someone that can sympathise with Dean re: his Regency problems now.

My friend has a GTI-R which has now been defected three times. The car is pretty much stock except for it being too low.

The first two times he put the car back to standard height and went through Regency without a problem. Last week he went through Regency for the third time and they wouldn't pass his car saying that he had a bent chassis rail.

How could this damage go unnoticed the first two times the car went through Regency?

Who have they got working down there??!!

Thanks for the sympathy :D

It seems that this sort of behaviour is happening to alot of people. This sort of treatment is the reason i barely drive my car now. Why bother paying so much insurance for a car that hardly ever gets driven. It never goes near the city now. Only work and Uni. If things get worse, i will sell it. Its just too much of a headache.

It seems pretty obvious to me re the 'bent chassis rail'.... Regency staff didn't "miss" the bent chassis rail the first 2 times, rather they chose to find a tiny defect with it on the GTi-R's third trip through. Why did they do this? Because they decided the owner hadn't learnt his lesson the first two times. And before anyone asks... no, I don't agree with their (Regency)methods, but I can see why they're doing it.

I do totally agree, I think if you're silly enough to get your car defected three times then they're bound to pick on you.

It just seems silly to me that such an obvious defect was not picked up earlier. My point is just the inconsistencies in the way everything works. You get different people looking at the cars and different defects being pointed out each time.

They should all be looking for the same things and not overlooking obvious things such as a bent chassis rails.. Dean can vouch for this too, they didn't pick it up the first time, but second time around, there was the defect.

i read that thing about the gt4 celica and i read it like 5 times over. I dont know about u but to me it seems to me that jaustech and who ever else originally complianced or "plate swapped" the original car are dodgey. And i think what regency are asking to be done now is what should have been done years ago when it was complainced. I keep reading it and evey time i do it seems that there is something dody going on. I would like to see the car to see if the vin number on the GT4 chassis matches the VIN on the FWD plates because if they do **** i dont know what they have done.

ALso on that gtir where is the bent chassis real, if it is near the mounting points of the front sway bar that is a common location for the rail to bend and the crack, I had to have both my rails in mine plated and welded. U never know that this could have just developed as this does happen over time. It does it because the N14 chassis is just too weak for the heavy front end of the gtir motor.

Shannon and Matt, are you guys saying if you got your car defected you would return it to stock and leave it completely stock?

Anything on your car that isnt OEM may give rise to doubt and off to regency you go. Then again, I have been told stories of people being defected for stock BOVs - as, to quote the traffic cop I spoke to at Holden Hill - 'all BOVs are illegal, if your car has one, it will be defected'

The last time Dean got defected, as he points out, he was just going to the movies minding his own business, how does this make him 'silly enough to be defected'? His car has alot less mods than so many cars on the streets.

With the law the way it is, no one is immune.

    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
