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...

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
