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

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
