Yerp, i hear ya. I very teary.

Im having the matter investigated and making a complaint against the officers involved. I also am speaking to my local MP. Then i will open up a file at work (law firm) and make them pay for my wasted time and money spent on this issue.

Im tired of being walked over by those mother bitches.

pardon my ignorance, but do regency issue a 'pass certificate' for any vehicle that has gone through their scrutineering?

if so, wouldnt it be suffice to keep this in your glove box at all times, provided that the car is at the same level of modification when it was passed.

Sorry to hear Cheeky.

Try this.  Person gets pulled over next to my servo that i work at.  Police defects car for not having brake light.  Wouldnt it make more sense just to make that person walk to my servo a full 15metres away, buy the stupid globe and fit it in front of them.  Police officer drives off,  person asks one of my staff to fix globe, took 5 minutes.

What servo is that? I drive past a R33 sometimes at Mobil on Lower Nth East rd, is that you??

Cheeky - good to hear that you are taking a firm stance on this, its about time someone does, just a shame it takes such a stupid act from a cop who has no idea what he is talking about to make it happen

point taken.

fact of the matter is though, even thought a group feels like they are being targeted, they are not the only ones.

talk to anybody who owned a V8 in the 60's and 70's, or the turbo owners of the 80's they will all say that they were the targets of similar attention.

btw: i dont agree with revenue raising from sapol which is what 'most' of this topic comes down to.

i am interest to know can they defect u for just the pod filter?

I think, as Cheeky's instance show, they can defect you for anything they want, legal or illegal, just depends on how the cop feels on the day

Its a total joke

Pod filters r legal if they are mounted properly. In my old car i had to proove it on several occasions i didnt have a blow off valve.

Im sorry to hear bout it erica. If it was me id have heaps of other fines for going off at the pig and prob a few more defects.

very harsh, specially to a girl!

It also shows that it doesnt matter wat sex u r now either.

A. Ive been thru regency twice with POD filter, they are LEGAL.

B. If a cop can defect for somethin, then why cant they UNDEFECT the car they defected instead of goin to regency.

C. Once the car has been passed by regency, as soon as u leave, u can be defected again even thou ur car is 100% legal. The inspector at regency told me this, and even if u carry ur passed inspection report with u at all times, its unlikely it will save u from being defected again.

Well doesn't that make you all feel nice and warm inside........ F-All!

Like everyone else has said this is getting to the point where it is gettin way too dangerous to take an import out on a drive.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
