i heard from someone that if you get EPA'd for the 3rd time, your rego is cancelled and that car can never be rego'd for road use again. sounds bloody stupid but want to know if anyone can shed some light on this?

another thing is blacklisting. i know you can be blacklisted for street racing and such, but as far as being defected goes, can getting several minor defects over a period of time have u blacklisted? or will only major defects do that?

Good ole "i heard from someone"...

Load of shit mate.

If you get 3 EPA's for exhaust noise, you will get pulled in for a FULL EPA check, however they cannot just cancel your rego.

As for "black list", our resident officer who is on the forums has said no such list exists. Im inclined to believe him as he is a good guy :D

As stated before no such thing as "black list" we can put a Field Contact in on your car which will show up everytime the vehicle is checked. Have seen an increasing amount of vehicles with Field Contacts associated due to being around "hoon" area's/illegal drags etc

If you are unlucky enough to get one for that reason if checked you will definitely get a much harder time.

ah i see. and is being added to that list up to the discretion of the cop who pulls u over? or is it something that happens after an offence is processed in your name?

Agreed.

I've had 3 EPA's in one year...no rego cancel.

The best Vicroads do is to suspend your rego till the EPA give the Oakey dokey.

It's purely up to the descretion of the officer. There is no "Stat"associated with them so I couldn't ever see a TMU officer submitting one. I personally don't see a point to doing a field contact for that reason anyway. They are there IMO to associate crooks together, where they hang out and if suspicious persons in an area for high crime etc. Not to say you were hanging around Princes H'wy on a friday night as an example.

im pretty sure i have a Field Contact on my car. would explain why i constantly get pulled over searched every time.

does that mean im a suspicious person? and they always ask stupid questions like

"do you have a job?"

"does your job pay well"

"why are u out so late if your working"

Tets, It sounds like you mave have one on your vehicle. Especially if your car is getting searched each time and getting questioned as you mentioned. That's pretty much what they are for if we suspect someone is dealing as we find empty deal bags in vehicle or suspect person is drug user if syringes or bong located in car we do field contact and then each time person is checked vehicle is searched, person questioned.

Tets, It will be on both the car and you but the car flags straight away. If you were driving another car unless you get pulled over and spoken too and they then do checks you would be fine.

Shoot me a PM with details and I will make some enq's for you if you want

i once had a cop tell me he is putting a field contact on my car... not sure why either... i didnt even do anything wrong.

and havent been pulled over once since... that was 3 months ago... and i drive every day, maybe he was just having a shit day and wanted to scare someone

Should have loged a formal complaint after requesting his name, badge number and station details. No wonder people have no respect for the police.

police officers word over some random kid with an import.

end of day u lose.

unless they pull you out of your car and assult u with their batton just let it go and pretend nothing ever happened.

Yeah, but if he's trying to scare you can try and scare him back. Don't have to actually complain, but you can still ask for name, number and station.

I generally wouldn't advise to ask officer's name, badge number etc. If I get asked that I always give it to them on the Penalty notice, Summons, NOU that I would issue them.

Why would you advise against asking for details that an officer must legally give when requested?

When requested, a police officer MUST tell you their name, identification number, name of the police station where they work and their rank. If asked for these details in writing, a police officer MUST give these details in writing. Failure to provide these details is an offence and should be followed up with a written complaint.

instead of scaring u and abusing their power to make your day shittie

defect with minor stuff to fix.

they will throw every fine they can think of.

option 1

defect + let u go.

option 2

defect + car grounded + fine for defect + fine for to low + epa + search your whole car for anything that can be named as a weapon + tow truck fee + taxi/making someone else pick u up.

the list goes on.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
