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...

LOL @ Dibbie Van!!

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!

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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
