I've been defected for rear tires. Cop said "good to see you weren't driving like a dick" and told me to replace and go v roads.. No fine, no roady.. Maybe I just got a nice copper

There you go, drive sensibly, still get pulled over and defected. He might have been nice not g you a fine, but consider that he was being a prick for pulling you over in the first place...how often does it happen to non-imports...

You're probably right. It was Christmas Day

lol certified cockhead then. I got done on an Easter Monday.

Hmm kinda sucked.. For some reason I was a tad bit excited as it was my first defect. Felt like I was baptized or something into the import world lol

Lol we both got done on same day, same cop, same area.

Forget about engineering cert, won't save you from an emissions test which you will fail with either injectors, afm and high mount etc

Well your all saying that you get picked on, here are a few stories of bad driving from last week that I saw. (none in imports too)

Idiot 1: drink driver crashes car, 4 times limit, Learner driver too without fully licensed driver.

Idiot 2: Learner driver crashes car when he had 2 mates in car that could drive on P plates.

Idiot 3: runs through red light right in front of marked police car, fails to indicate twice, does 15km/h over speed limit and only had one tail light.

Idiot 4: Learner driver again without fully licensed driver, no lights on at night and then tries to tell me she is her 44yo mum and just looks 17.

Idiot 5: Another one that runs red light in front of marked police car, no tail lights at night and fails to indicate twice.

Add to this a pursuit, and number of other cars caught doing 20+ over limit. All this was right in front of me or called to scene of accident.

I'm glad you're getting people for not indicating. Shits me up the wall when people change lanes without indicating...they usually do it into your lane as you're approaching a red light too.

There is no link to vehicle being NOU before. The only thing that can flag vehicle is if we do report (field contact) regarding the vehicle/driver. If you're concerned as others said change the registration over, new rego with nothing tagged against it.

i didnt think the cops care about rego history....but driver history

when i checked my rego on the police thingies (in a highway patrol car....LOL LONNNG story) it goes off driver history.....

If the vehicle has no current defects it wont flag.

Is it really that bad now with defects compared to say this time last year? I thought it had all calmed down in the last 8-10 months, seems to be alot less hoon stories in the media, they had a bit of a fascination with it last year both media and police.

Unfortunately all skylines and really any rwd nissan will get picked on, even if you wern't doing anything wrong you can still get pulled over.

If your worried about buying a previously defected car then dont buy it, you'll just be paranoid when driving it and that used to shit me when I had my 32, always wondering if I was going to get an epa in the mail or pulled over for no reason, friggin annoying.

its the luck of the draw really, mod smartly aka no pod...or bling in the engine bay....

if you cant be defected with an engineers then everyone would have one

same old rant these threads

yeh its been winter, wait for summer

Hi Guys,

I am looking to get a Skyline gts that has been defected before for noise, height and wheels...Car has passed the compliance since...it looks very attractive as well, which may attract cops attention with the nice looking wheels and i think it has a black carbon fiber front bonet...

It has a high mount turbo and i have a history of my GTR being Defected before with mods...

Just want to know if I am looking for more trouble and getting into more shit? I am afraid that the high mount turbo might be a problem if i get pulled over...car is doing 300kw atw and its a cheap buy of 10k with forged internals...

Anyone with any suggestions?

I'd seriously be asking why it's 10k...

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
