Hello all,

Just like some information or an idea of where to get more information regarding the process that can be followed or what people has done, after a defect notice has been issued?

1) Pay the fine and rectify the defect

2) ?????

3) ?????

I'm a new to all this, would like to have an idea what can be done and alternatives to save any future hassles.

So far I have found out the following:

+ DOT dont do ADR regardless of what people's perception is

+ No car is defect free.. :D

+ Having a RWC and or a full RACQ check will not save your ass in the event of a defect notice

+ It is the owner's responsibility when the defect notice is issued, regardless of wether you have the knowledge or not.. (The modification rules change all the time, so your shafted eitherway).

Please dont take this as a mean to "bash police authority" or assume that I am doing it, I have always respect the police authority (regardless of wether they were helpfull or not) . I am mearly trying to find out the actually process, what people have done, what can be done and wether it was successfully or not.

If it is too sensitive to discuss here, please pm me. :D

Cheers,

I'm interested too. What is the process for defect notices up here?

I know how it worked in melb, that was easy. Just get a valid RWC from any old where, present it to vicroads with the defect notice, and they might give a quick look at your car (although not generally) and clear it.

Yeah I got defected for the windscreen on the corolla once...just had to send the notice back saying I had fixed it...no fine.

Unless they tick the "required for inspection" box they just trust you've fixed it.

I got defected at Springwood ages ago for my BOV.

I just took the car to the inspectoin station at Queensland Transport and the guy checked I had done what I was meant to do, and then he goes "ok see ya" and I went...

No fine, no points taken.

mine was green.

my car wasnt actually defective, but i told the cop it was so he wouldnt bust me for doing what he saw me do.

gave him 3 excuses, he liked the one where my rear shocks were buggered, so i cleaned them, took the car in to the cop shop, he tried to bounce the back of the car, it didnt bounce, so he said "alright" and that was that. :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
