Hmm im not sure what plates that maccas gtr has, maybe it has something like sir 33 also! who do these guys think they are being knighted and stuff.

  • 4 weeks later...
I know i want to take my car out Friday night as well...  

Im defected but have permit to drive it, so I figured i might as well make the most of it.  Its like an immunity sticker.

My advice, don't do it!

Read the notice carefully, you can only travel to and from place of repair.

If you are caught driving, particularly at night, you will get more headaches you don't need.

Let's not even enter in to the fact that silly canary shouldn't even be there....

Well....

If you make an appointment with Regency, you take the defect notice to the cop shop and they grant you permission to drive your car until your regency appointment as long as you show them proof of repairs.

In my case, there was no repairs required, because they defected me for something that was legal and already in place (blow off valve to be conveyed to manifold), so they granted me permission to drive. Does that make sense.

However, i have my police conciliation conference next week about the complaint i made regarding my defect. I spoke with the Senior Traffic Manager (he is dealing with the complaint) at holden hill about how the officers treated me and he agrees his officers were wrong and that my defect should be removed. So, i'll let you know what happens.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
