Man if a cop tried doing me for stupid shit like that I wouldn't be able to help myself.

I'd be a total smart ass and tell him how f**ken stupid he is, and ask him to go sit in his car and read the ADR's while I wait for the little f**khead.

Do they realise how much time and money they just cost you? I'm assuming you did nothing wrong at all.

Wow, you got raped!

As others have said, take it straight to the pits and see what an actual pit inspector has to say.

If the inspector thinks that a lot of the list is bullshit, then make a formal complaint against the issuing officer.

Did the cop point out anything about the reinforcement bar?

What suburb are you in and someone who is close and knows what a reo bar is can come see if it's cut at all. Anyway, why would it be cut.. to get an after market front bar on? Who the hell makes a front bar that doesnt fit over stock reinforcement bar :P

Yeh i didnt do anything to get pulled over, as i said the first cop just wanted to see if he could fix my light. It was the 'experts' that came to have a look that bent me over the table. If the first cop hadnt run out of yellow stickers, i wouldnt have got anything. They didnt even put the things on the list that the first cop thought i wasnt allowed to have!

Cop didnt show me the reinforcement bar, he just spent ages pointing it out to the 6 other cops at the scene lol. Why so many? Im in Glen Forrest, near Mundaring. Anyone near me willing to come have a look? I suppose im gonna have to take it to the pits anyway and if it is ok then they will tell me, but it would be good to get someone to come look at it before i go and get done for other things too.

I was thinking if the inspector says the list is a waste of time then i want to make a complaint, but it isnt the issuing officer i want to make a complaint about, it is the so called experts that came and told him what to put on the list. All the issuing officer did was sign it, he actually apologized to me after, saying he thought they would just come and check out my exhaust. So thing is i have no idea who the officers were that actually pulled me up for these things

sorry i'm not really helping you out here.. but it's of similar topic

i just noticed on my rego renewal paper, it states under "conditions" that the car is an imported vehicle and does NOT have to comply with australian design rules, and does not require a compliance plate... it's a bit weird..

How old is your car? and was it a nissan special order such as the Austrlian deliver R32GTR? that could be the reason as i had a mate with a VR4 years back under the 15 year rule and that had it stated too.

First up, yes as people have said HID's are illegal unless they were factory fitted and released by the manufacturer with the car (hence complying with the ADR)

Pod filters are NOT illegal unless they are not bolted/bracketed down, then you have issues

Reinforcement bar, yes, if it is cut, you're in trouble. It's considered one of the main structural parts of the car, if it's altered, have fun

Exhaust, don't have to worry about IM240 testing at all in WA yet, hasn't been considered and hasn't been implimented at all however if it's too noisey I think they can get you on excess noise for it, bit grey on that area but apart from that, the copper sounds like a twat.

Unless a police officer is holding you for a legal reason (in this case he was, sort of) or charging you with something, you don't have to hang around at all, you can leave whenever you want.

Know the in's and out's of the legal system you can get away with blue murder :P

As the guys have said, take it over the pits, be nice, the guys will likely have a laugh at the list and pass you (except for the xenons, not sure about the eyelids)

dude easy way is to pay for an engineers certificate bout 300 bucks he comes over opens your bonnet has a piss poor look ,then checks noise level reader and if its too loud like mine was ,he just stepped back another 30 ft and gave me the a o k, then take the papers down to the ignorant pricks at the dpi and firmly jam it straight in hairy, unprofessional , unappreciated, asshole,,,they love it

after spending 16grand on my car , week later ,house raided,and then following week snickered for my boot strut not staying up and too noisy plus calling him a wanker didnt help either.

it took me 6 months to get my licky off ,so 6 times without report from engineer failed

Then got engineers report and wankers knocked me back for the emissions test not carried out due to the dude told me it would never pass so he left it out, so i thought faark em ill try one more time and if it didnt pass i was gonna burn out my back tyres in their workshop,, then out of nowhere the boss of the cock squad at dpi came out and peeled it off ,

taking into account i got 4 inch all way through ,screamer pipe ,gtr wing and no cat , no licence and drove in at 355pm just before he shut shop... WoRk ThAt OuT .

then copped another when missis went for spin ,she showed em papers and they showed her my bald tyres and yes yes got that lovely decal window feature again,

i hate dpi with a passion so if need some papers and willing to jam it up their cockhole ill give u this dudes number and the good part is if u dont pass u dont pay him, till u do,,

just when u think their faarkin u ,,their probably still f**king me, feel for you dude and good luck :D:D

Lol wow abdul, i think ill see what the inspectors say first =P

I have been following that emissions thread quite closely, which is why i was worried about having to do the test seeing as i have an aftermarket exhaust =\

from my experience,

i got yellowd and work ordered, i had a 2.25" on a freekin lancer,

the cop pulled me over cos i turned my neons off,

he said my exhaust is too loud, and that my neons arent regulation ones...

my exhaust failed, blew 102decibals, i got a temporary silencer put in, ran over the pits and passed.

the pod filter isnt illegal, its only defectable if it isnt secured down to something, the wiring needs to be also secured, and in some kind of hosing, to get passed the wiring part i just ripped it all out (only neons and spotties anyways)

the only reason the spoiler would have any problems is if it does not have an eye level brake light, if you have one on the inside of your car your fine.

when i did get the sticker the license guy went through everything, i didnt get the RWC cos my rolling diameter was out by a shit load, (had 17s fitted to it, came with 13s).

I sense a lot of anger from you abdul.

yeh sorry bout the anger, going to court tomorrow and have had a c%^t of a time with the legal system and their stupid ways of making our life that little bit harder,,true

and all we want, is to see our cars capability for wat we spent alot of money for ...

AND IF U EVER UPGRADE TURBO DONT TELL THEM ON THE MOD CERTIFICATE OTHERWISE U REQUIRE AN EMISSIONS TEST <<if they notice which is rarely, say u forgot or get them to distinguish the difference because thats how u bought it

but about emissions test the engineer told me that skylines just pass it but if turbo is upgraded ,ur pretty much f%#kt ,plus a test is about $1000 bucks or so he mentioned too, like he said but, if an engineer has passed it and u have relevant papers from dpi which the engineer send them after about 2 weeks max they have to pass it because they dont have the qualification or equipment to do it themselves..

or let ur mamma take it over pits for u and tell her to dress up ,titties out

Have you not been reading the thread about emissions testing?

As far as I am aware it has not been passed yet.

Eye level brake light if you have an aftermarket wing? Bloody hell that's really stupid, since when did people ever look to your parcel shelf/wing for a brake light? They're on the ass end of your car on the sides already ffs! I can understand the "must be lower than the roof level" rule though, anything that high is just bloody stupid :D

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
