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...

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 :)

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

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
