045HOW Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hey guys so i got pulled over yesterday morning and defected for intercooler and pod filter. Cop said my pod was straight up illegal and i think the intercooler part was the fact i have a big hole next to my washer bottle for my I/c piping to go through from my front facing plenum. So he wrote me a defect that has to be cleared at an authorised inspection station. lol wtf. This stuff is legal in QLD. Going to get it cleared this week but just wondering about the pod filter sitaution O_o As soon as i knew i was being pulled over, hid my PFC controller and played the innocent polite person that i really am (but to the max lol). No fine,no points lost and he didnt defect me for everything else i potentially could have been done for. like too low,possibly too loud,atmo bov,front facing plenum?,EMS,coilovers,boost controller and whatever else... lol also do i legally have to get this defect cleared when i have a qld license and qld registration? what could happen if i dont get it cleared? cheers guys.

sinistaGTR Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Even though you car is regod in qld (your licence has nothing to do with it), the car must comply with the state that you are driving it. At the end of the day if you never ever plan on driving in nsw again, you dont have to get the defect cleared, although bare in mind that the car will be defected in NSW. Your best bet as you stated is to get the defect cleared. Before you do, i would call the RTA just explain how you were on holidays travelling when you got pulled over and got done and you car is legal in QLD. The phone call might not do anything, or you may be able to get it thrown away.

Tats Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 the car must comply with the state that you are driving it. So if you venture into VIC, you just get shot on sight?

HOT_R33 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Give TMR a call a check to make sure you have no defect recorded against your ergo, if not, your clear. The RTA and TMR systems never speak to each other properly so even though he's flicked you a canary, it won't be lodged against your rego. The only problem down here seems to be EPA. Nothing else has been lodged against my rego by NSW police.

Idaten Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ugh... I'm planning on travelling from Cairns to Perth some time early this year. As cool as it would be, my car isn't a transformer. I can't change stuff at every boarder damnit.

045HOW Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Dont worry about it if you're just passing through. My problem is that i visit NSW regularly. And as a general rule they dont pay too much attention QLD cars.

Hanso Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I live in NSW with my car still registered in QLD. I have never been stopped to be defected to date. Speeding, only once but I learnt my lesson. Then again, the cops here probably have no idea what a Stagea is.

045HOW Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Are Defects attached to the rego or the Vin? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/387602-qld-carlicense-defected-for-pod-and-ic-in-nsw/#findComment-6228876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTR-N1 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Are Defects attached to the rego or the Vin? Anonymously, why don't you call VEDA Ph: 1300.921.621 after 8.30am Mon and do a self-check? Perhaps even reply to my thread http://www.skylinesa...-override-revs/ ??? ^ ^ ^ This National system started 12 days ago. I wouldn't mind seeing the outcome...
