Anyone got defected at Chapel st last night?


Recommended Posts

Just wondering has anyone from here got defected at Chapel over the weekend?

And if yes, what did u get defected for?

Police defected about 40 cars there last night. I thought they are suppose to be imporving the "orders" in that area after all those night club problems, but what does it got to do with modified cars?

Anyway, you never know what they will book you for these days.

I didnt get defected.....but i heard about the 'police blitz' on the news.

You're right i dont c how that is helping the nightclub stabbings in the area.

They say they'll be on the 'blitz' for 3 weeks....so its best to avoid the Chapel Street area for a while. ......unless u want a defective sticker ?!?!

that sould always apply to doing laps :)

i was there... saw heaps of cops, a few commodores getting defected and unhappy owners.

also saw the nest report today :D

chaps laps... the sadest of the sad.

id rather run naked thru a large plantation of lemon trees after rolling around on a bed of sandpaper...

well maybe not...

your informant is correct...

its filled with wankers with more expensive stereos than cars and 16yo slarts who will jump in ur VL at the sound of a cooler noise :)

nah come on i go there for dinner and my stereo isnt big, but then again i dont cruise up and down constantly like i've seen that golgo gtr do :P

all i want to do is get to a carpark, park, eat food, go to borders, and then go home, but getting to the carpark takes an hour in itself

Damn you Dox - that was our little secret :P

Anyhoo - from a local's perspective:

I had dinner at my mum's place in Armadale and went home via Prahran Coles at about 9.00pm Friday. Coming down Malvern Rd - I saw 3x patrol cars cruising. I turned left into Chapel and parked outside Coles (in Golgo) and while waiting at checkout saw 2x TMU, 1x Mercedes van, 3x bikes, 1x booze bus, some crazy personnnel carrier... and a partridge in a pear tree.

Headed along Chaps to Café Sienna - where I turn right to go home - and every second person on the street was a uniformed cop, there were 2x S13s and a VL outside KFC getting checked, a Lancer next to Coles getting checked and red/blue lights up near Jam.

Was out last night and heading home at 12.30am - saw many red/blue lights along Toorak & Chapel (was heading home from Richmond end) so went the long way around and went home via Williams Rd.

What an incredible waste of resources.

What were the police trying to do?

If you waste your time down chap street you deserve a big fat defective sticker! I have been down there a few times, was the most boring drive I had ever been on. Couldn’t wait to hit the princes again, at least you can drive on the HWY.

But yeah I agree I have no idea how Police wasting there time pulling over guys in expensive cars doing nothing wrong gives them a purpose. They would rather chase a guy with an apexi sticker rather than some dude with a knife :P

Heard about the blits on Friday morning, on NOVA. Warned my mate, who had just fitted a full spoiler kit to his RX7 series 6. But you think the fool listened, NOPE :). One day on the road and now it's back off :P .

Surely people can find better things to do on weekends. If they really want to be in a traffic jam, just go on the Monash during peak hours :).

I got pulled over near there last nite. i was heading home along toorak rd. i went past chaps and saw the numerous blue and reds flashing then one of them turned out of chaps onto toorak and pulled me over. I was bloody lucky the guy was a normal cop, not TMU. He checked my car, checked under the bonnet, got nothing illegal under there, no bigass zorst, pretty much didnt have a leg to stand on in terms of defecting me. I was praying he didnt know about power to weight, as im still on my p's. The cop took my license away for like 10 mins then came back and asked what i was doing in the area. i told him i was heading home from St Kilda and he just said "on your way". I tell you, i never breathed a bigger sigh of relief in my life!

I think ill be avoiding the area for a few weeks until this blitz has cooled down.

whenever i have to go to jam factory or a cafe or something i either take mum's lancer or drive on parallel roads so when i go to chapel im on there for 10mtrs if that and straight into car park

safest option, or just disconnect your bonnet clip :cheers:

some crazy personnnel carrier...

That was a RIOT van, I didnt see any riot's personally but you never know :cheers:

I almost always go down to chapel for dinner / coffee etc on the weekends, including last night. I dont actually grace the chapel st tarmac with my car - i just park "nearby" and watch all the clowns get defected - some ask for it, some dont. The only difference this weekend is that people were warned - Herald Sun, MX, The Age, NOVA, FOX and 7,9 & 10 news...

I also heard today on Nova that they got over 100 cars, between Prahran, St.Kilda and any other area they were 'targetting'. They defected 37 cars just on chapel friday night!

There is no yellow sticker on my car :P but i did witness a few get done.

really? man i'm hanging with the wrong crowd...time to go to chaps.

oh hang on i havn't got a VL :D

your informant is correct...

They are common but they are no VL, thats just down right stupid! When Skylines are worth $5K, and carry a Holden badge then you can call them a VL. Plus have you ever driven a VL Turbo? They go like shit, handle like shit and most of all look like shit! I own an VL with an RB25DET as well as my Skyline and there is no comparison LOL

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
