i know the cops that drive dibbie vans cant defect you, iv been pulled over by them had chat to bout my car ect...

and they said to me they cant defect my car as there not traffic patrol. they even checked the height of my car and said it was to low!

they were cool cops, they told me the only reason the pulled me over was cause i didnt have my number plate mounted.(fresh paint job and was on the windscreen)

HAHAHAAA!!!! LOL @ Dibbie Van!!! Dude they can defect you, any cop can if they want. Just because they arent' traffic cops don't mean diddley. It's like saying a chef can't make you a hot dog because it's fast food, or I can't play golf because I've never played before. Ok they are pretty average examples but you get the point. Oh wait I got a good one, like saying that a CFA firefighter can't put out a fire in the suburbs because it's not in the bush... Ok I'm giving up now...

Grats on lying on the internet, feel cool now? No cop would have said that and yes ANY Cop can defect you.

It's one of car enthusiasts biggest gripes.... it is completely within ANY cops power to defect a car as it drives off a car lot BRAND NEW. He doesn't need to know anything about cars, he can literally say that doesn't look right and slap a canary on it.

Double post ftw!

spoke to my mechanic and got my exhaust replaced to the standard one.

borrowed a standard gear knob from a lancer

as for the alignment i was told that vicroads wont even know whether you do it or not.

ive got a RWC and going for inspection tomoz hope everythinig turns up just good.

will see how it goes and will post up here.

cheers

went to vicroads today the guy didnt even bother to look at my car.

all he did was marking on the papers (defect notice and rwc) and then walk to my car and take the defective vehicle paper off. (less than 3 mins)

ive been pulled over for more than 10 times now (i live in the city) and this is the first time i got defected.

hope this record wont bring any extra troubles to me in the future

cheers

hehe you got lucky.

I've had that happen, but i didn't want to get your hopes up as i've also had them go fully over the car as well to check.

Depends how busy they are/where you go etc.

That defect won't cause you any issues in the future mate, no drama's there.

one thing that annoys me sometimes ive only occured this twice is when the police officer doesnt tick or state on the paper whether a RWC is required or not and you go to vicroads not looking at the notice because the cop told you that you didnt require one etc.. end up going to vicroads and them refusing to clear it as it doesnt state if one is required or not. then you have to travel all the way to the cop station and get the cop to clarify and resign if one is needed.. theres my 2cent rant lol

when i had my ute, i got defected for too low and having a side mount s/c on.

the defect stated that 1. must obtain 100mm ground clearance. 2. s/c must comply with ADR. plus the defect was a major so i needed a RWC.

anyways, took the s/c off, jacked it up and got a RWC. went to vic roads and the lady checked my height but didnt check the s/c!!! i asked her "arent you going to look under the bonnet for the s/c" and she goes "nah its ok you have a RWC"

!!!!!! i could of left the s/c on!!!

so i guess vic roads dont really care, as long as u get a RWC

When I last got a major defect, went to Vicroads with my RWC and the lady didn't even bother checking the car just cleared it on the spot. I can't help but think that the fact it was 4.30pm on a Friday had something to do with it.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
