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

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
