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

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
