I Has Been Defected Last Night, Get Few Questions


Recommended Posts

I need clear the defect before 24th Feb. if I keep driving the car and any blue boys pull me over before 24th Feb, I will get another defect for the same reason? or I just tell them I had one defect already then they won't give me another one again?

mate from what i know youll cop a fine for driving a defected vehicle

i think you gotta go to vicroads and get a temporary rego to drive it

hey i gotta question for you

do you need to get a full roadworthy or do you just have to fix what they said was unroadworthy and where do you have to take it

i think its depending on wat the defect is for, i would not recommend driving it though. What area was the defect given in?

As for the above question- if its a major its a full rwc otherwise for a minor just the items picked

you only fix what they said was unroadworthy, that's fine, and go to vic road and clear it before the date coming.

I had a minor, in eastern suberb.

my car is low, that's it.

yeah thats no good to me cause i bought a car that was supposed to be registered and on the way home find out it had a canary put on it when the previous owner lent it to a friend and that friend didnt tell him so i dont when the date was but i found out its for the intercooler, pod filter and boost gauge i didnt know intercoolers and boost gauge were unroadworthy

intercooler and pod filter, u only can have one. all air intake system, max u can modified is one part, if u modified two parts from the air intake system, its illegal.

man, every time if u has been defected or pull overed, don't just get the fine and go away, ask any question about ur car to police. make sure u know what they are thinking. then you will know what they don't like.

I just asked my friend, he said if your car had minor,u can stick the yellow paper on ur windscrean, and u won't get any reasonable defect again before the deadline date.

the defect notice has a date which is usually 7 days after being issued. After then you can only drive ur car to the mechanics and no daily usage. U can call vic roads for an extension if u need more time but the last time I called them for an extension the girl said u actually get a 2 week grace period after the 7 days expires. Dunno if that's still in effect but call vicroads if need be.

Bottom line is don't get caught driving after the 7 days unless ur heading to a mechanic otherwise u will cop another fine

it wont be 2 months - it'll be 24th Jan, not Feb.

true that. U can get ur car raised easy. Traction Tyree and suspension in rowville did my car when I was defected for height not long ago. $140 for raise n all wheel allignment pretty cheap

yeh thing that suprised me most is time frame how'd u even get till the 24th of jan? u mean cops actually took into consideration everyone is closed at the moment? i'd have expected them to relish the thought of making you be off the road for agess unable to drive..

bad luck though but if you got coilovers its easy.

wanzi - there is no grace period you can use the car for upto a 1 month after the 7 days provided its for the purpose of to and from mechanic/repairs or vicroads themselves. after this they MAY suspend your rego.

that game from a lady from vicroads I spoke to while I was defected. Maybe she just meant unofficially as in not in the laws but they won't mind. Either way she let me get away with it

Surprise surprise...operation RAID again. However, to be fair to the cops , what did they get you for?

Operation Remove All Impaired Drivers is aimed at removing Impaired Drivers, as the name would suggest.

Isn't it something else that is on at the moment that is a blitz on ALL un-roadworthy cars?

If you have a minor for too low, you could still get a major for something else if the Officer finds something and deems it suitable for a Major defect, so do not think you are immune to a defect notice as you already have one.

They could also add to your existing defect could they not?

Don't know if you have read my other thread. However, even if they've defected you before...they can, fine you $292 again and again and again and again and again if they feel like it. In other words, even if you're defected with a yellow canary on your windscreen OR you've recently cleared it with Vicroads with a full RWC, they can still dick you if they feel like it. It's farked.

so, did you remove the atmo bov? cause if not, aint no one round here gonna feel sorry for ya kev :wub:

Hamish,

As you may or may not have read in my other thread...YES, atmo BOV removed and stock airbox installed....but they still got my for other shit like tint and a rusted screw on my strut bar. WTF.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
