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.

    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
