Hey peeps,

Seeing all the talk about defects on here over the past few months, i though someone might be interested in my latest experience.

My S14 was parked out the front of a friends place during the footy on saturday, and when i came back to it sunday morning there was a defect on it, stuck to the outside of the front window, with the defect notice under my windscreen wiper. The car is defected to regency and given NIL hours to be driven, which would actually have made my car illegally parked the instant she slapped the sticker on.

The defects were for:

Bald tyres (admitted but isnt this just a cop shop defect?)

Steering wheel to be legal (momo - my old car went through regency with this wheel on it, it has the legal e4 stamp)

And the best one - Exhaust to be legal, THE CAR WASNT RUNNING SO HOW CAN IT BE TOO LOUD??????????

My question is, can they do this, i cant believe that a sticker can just be whacked on the outside of the car, surely the owner needs to be there? I have spoken to one police station and they seem to think its ok to do this but im not so sure. Has this happened to any of you.

I am trying to get in contact with the officer that put the sticker on there at the moment to discuss with her what the hell she thinks she was doing.

This shit dont seem right to me.......

Owner has to be there...

Exhaust is TOTAL BS if they were not there.

Take this one all the way buddy, and ream em for all in SA

The more complaints about this sh**, the more they will stop. Put in a complaint about the officer harassing you, cos you were not even there. Fill out the appropriate forms at the local police station. They love it cos it makes more paperwork for them. Plus it goes against their record as having a complaint :D

Do you have no cat? This could have been seen without it running.

Does the exhaust hang too low?

Just trying to think of reasons why they could prove it was illegal without having the car running.

Does the defect notice have any further details about the exhaust defect?

The details were specific, its definitely defected.

I cant get a straight answer from anyone in the police about if they were allowed to do this or not, but i have now decided not to waste my time persuing it, the car is almost standard so ill just stocker it out and take it through.

Lets see how much bs regency put me through.

By the way it was a female cop that defected the car, the worst possible power tripper.

can only suggest you make an appointment and see your local MP.

the only way these pricks will lay off is it comes from above - if their bosses are copping grief, they will cop grief - and no one creates grief for public servants more than politicians.

good luck.

strange that they can say something has to be legal, but dont have to say what is exactly illegal - in other words, the farker didnt have a bloody clue. flogging is too good for some of these arseholes.

just remove it and see if you get any notice of the defect notice, because you can just say that you never recieved anything and someone must have removed the sticker when it was still in the car park, how would you know? they cannot be sure you recieved the notice as it was not given to you in person, maybe they just do it to con people into taking their car to regency

      Rb26/30 build

      By Butters · Posted

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
