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.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
