question on defects...

if you get defected like you did...and you then go "well fk this, Im going to derego the car" I imagine you still have to pay the fines etc, but you wouldnt need to clear the defects then?

if not, save yer money from that and buy a tow car :rofl:

I got defected on Saturday, i and plenty of my friends noticed a very big police presence everywhere we drove.

Must have been a huge blitz on.

My defects were minor and will be cleared this week.

Sounds like you got raped Paul :blink:

Im looking to get my whole car engineered (including emissions)

Just for reference: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/noise/vehiclenoise.htm

Jeez - this is really a worry. Maybe we should start a Defect Station Location / Date & Time sticky thread so we can see if there is a pattern or specific areas they target? Mods - do you think this is a good idea?

It's a real shame as so many of us put serious time and money into our cars and are not the "HOONs" these laws are trying to target.

I saw this setup on Sat night it looked pretty full on they took up the whole carpark. Saw plenty of cops pulling anything modified over in the area. Lucky I was getting my drink on! :P

I'd also like to know this as it might be an option for many people that get done like craked

Sorry to hear bout the car man.

I got pulled to the side of the road the other day by three highway patrols, checked through my whole car looking at everything, we joked around with each saying the three things in life that is gonna get you in trouble is "cars, money and women". He said he was impressed with the car as it was clean, said he was expecting it to be all dirty and "gunky" lol...I was missing a P plate, claimed I was going a bit over the limit, said I needed a engineers certificate for my exhaust and my geer knob was a defect. He said I passed his "attitude" test and he is gonna let me go, told me to have a good day and keep of the gas lol.

The funny thing is since I changed my exhuast and removed my BOV from defect last year, I haven't been stopped by highway patrol since :( Knowing my luck, once I switch back I'll be pulled over the next day

It seems they tend to increase the road presence in the lead up to Christmas

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
