i was done on the rising sunday for the guards didnt raise my car or anything and just went to the pits and they passed me the cops are just being dicks and picking on us

Doesn't mean the cops are being dicks. Means you got off easy. I've passed the pits with things that are clearly illegal. It depends who you get on the day. Just because the inspector passes you doesn't mean your car is legal.

Martin stfu you're being inflammatory.

Stop it.

The police are not ignorant, they know what the laws are, they're simply doing whatever it takes to see how far and who they can push, they're getting runs on te board for the extra biscuit at the end of the month...

As for recording - it is completely LEGAL providing that You tell them straight up that you're recording everything. The police are allowed to say no IF they wish to leave you alone,

Basically if they refuse to be recorded, they're not legally allowed to have any further discussion with you. Police are allowed to be recorded in this state and personally I recommend you all to do it.

they make our lives difficult and belittle us. Why not do it back to them?

Anyway, this particular subject has been done to death. Greg I'm sorry to hear man, I would probably be taking the issue up with the officers station to make a complaint. But yeah, you now need to take time off your day / off work and pay some shmuck organization to pay for a service you never requested.

Furthermore, Martin you said "it depends who you get on the day"

^^ this is the biggest load of shit ever, like yes you're right. But it just further cements that no dealing with this system are consistent at all,

I mean what. Depends on who you get on the day that decides what is and isn't legal? I thought the law was a book that clearly dictates laws and cannot be f**ked with. Huh.

I mean Joe at the pits can pass your car HE says as legal then officer harvey can pull you over around the corner for having what HE says is unsafe distance between tyre and guards???

It's bullshit. He said this he said that bullshit. "legal" has nothing to do with it

Yeh not true. My mate got in a lot of trouble for recording a conversation with a police officer. What's more, when he took them to court, his recorded evidence was dismissed as it was 'not acquired lawfully'.

law states as long as you are part of the conversation, you ARE ALLOWED to record the convo!

my soarer passed the pits when it got regoed, i had 8.5" rears (jzs147 aristo rears) 7" being the limit on the soarers, and a computer for adjusting the stock air suspension, told them the air suspension was factory, didnt care bout the controller, didnt look at the wheels, bam plates on it driving home!!

wat if its done safely, even if its illegal, 9/10 times theyll let it fly!!

Nope the law stats that you need to have a spare tyre at all time's.... run flats in WA are not a way to get around our ancient laws...

I believe you are mistaken:

"You are not obliged to carry a spare and it does not have to comply with the legal requirements while it is stowed away. However, when fitted to the vehicle (for example, following a puncture) it must then comply with the law."

Rowan, I agree with you man. I'm simply being realistic.

Will they say anything about turbo flutter?

Probably not, but if they know what they are talking about then they would know that flutter makes your car run rich, hence increasing emissions. I doubt it though.

If they ask, just say you ran over a pigeon on the way there and it might still be stuck somewhere.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
