I continue to have a good run with my one, but that's probably as it rarely gets driven any more, and hardly at all to likely defect locations

Mind you, every time I have been spotted by a cop I have been pulled over.

your one I can get sorted legally I bet. needs a height adjustment though.

as for defects - give someone time or a reason and they will find a way to nail you.

just over 12 months ago my mate was pulled up whilst at a dyno comp by on the coast by brissy police, in his neat series 8 rx7 RZ edition, now these special edition ones come with 17" BBS alloys and fixed back red recaro carbon fibre buckets standard.

he had on a FRP bonnet which is fair enough to defect for. But the cop proceeded to fine him for the seats, although these seats are standard factory items, and the car is a 2 seater edition anyway. I was trying to explain this to the cop, but he was arrogant, and threatened to arrest me if i didnt go away. so i did, fuming at his attitude towards the situation, as he didnt care he was writing tickets to meet his quota anyway, being basically factory standard with teins and full exhaust. this STTF guy was a joke.

But what gets me is they can write a tickets willy nilly and you dont get a chance to prove them wrong. and they dont get any recourse for your wasted time and effort going thru the bullcrap to prove them wrong, so they dont care. its a joke.

There should be some sort of procedure whereby if officers are continually having their tickets or charges overturned it should give some sort of avenue of recourse either internally from the police or for the public to exploit.

make it reasonable.

This way I can guarantee you that a police officer will never again issue a bullshit ticket.

I got defected a while ago and that was full of BS. The police don't know what they are looking for and just ticket you for anything that they feel like. I was defected for having a turbo installed on my GTST? When I explained to them that it comes standard with a turbo on it he said no you installed one. We will never win your only chance is to fight it in court and win and then hopefully if there is enough charges overturned in court then maybe they'll look at the way the system works.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

yeah right

Oh and when I had to clear my defect I didn't need a RWC. I just got put over the pits with a quick inspection then when it passed they cleared my defect off the vehicle using their computer system. It took approx 20 mins and I was in and out.

pretty sure the old de-register / re-register trick no longer works as the defect goes against the vehicle's VIN number and not the rego like it use to

I de-registered mine years ago and about a year and a half later I had a visit from the local police looking for the car. They wanted to know where it was and if the defects had been cleared etc.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
