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.

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.

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.

Yeah pretty sure it wont be but i had to get it cleared down here as i travel to NSW usually once a week.

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.

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.

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...

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
