Can they just issue defects on their "proffesional oppinion" or do they actaully have to measure it first.

I mean otherwise they could practicly defect u for ANYTHING even when the car is perfectly fine which is pretty lame.

I always thought it was more like, they find something wrong on your car and have physical proof of this (ie; measure the height, measure the db level etc). Then the car can be defected and u have to fix up the things wrong and get it cleared.

But it appears as though its more a case of the cop going "I think thats illegal, so i'll defect you and fine you", what if the cops opinion is wrong? what if ur db level is under? Your the one who has to foot the fine and waste your time and effort getting it cleared. that cant be right can it?

if they can visibly see that u have something defectable even if ur not there or in ur car u can still be defected.

the guy that got Aits old 32 had it done to him.

I know, i went into the persons driveway and onto the their grass and hid in the car for about 5 mins. So if the cop car went past he couldnt see my car.

Last week peak hour traffic on princess highway on the way to work i was near noble park maccas and saw a tmu scum bag in front on me on the right lane, so i pulled into the service lane and sat there for about 5 mins till he and me had a good buffer between ourselfs.

The shit we have to do in vic :thumbdwn:

jeez it seems that the way things are going, we're going to end up organsing safe-houses when cops try to bust skyline owners. If i ever see a skyline owner in my driveway hiding from a cop i wont mind

most likely will be me...

the night it happened i was kicking myself i didnt just take the next side street and check out but all that was going through my mind as 'what if i try to get away and he catches me?', i would have really felt it then!

Anyway, my car was back on the road the next day.... i didnt have to get the epa certificate, just got a full roadworthy and put the standard air box back on, put the silencer back in and reconnected the stock boost controller......

its just a waste of my time and money....... back when i was younger if i saw a cop do a u turn after me id just floor it and get out of there and was never caught, so much for trying to do the right thing!!!!

it is so frustrating having to put up with this crap from cops... if doesnt take much to realise what the majority of Skyline Owners is all about... If they only read the forums they would see that we are far from the typical twit that drives like a maniac on the road... i drive my car 7 days a week, to work, everywhere and only give it a bit of a squirt in a safe way, such as through first and a little in second.... i dont speed, i dont smoke em up at every lights and it pisses me of that we are treatedlike crims just because we have an interest in a powerful car!

i can accept that u get dicked for being an idiot on the road.... the problem is that because these cops catch one person acting like an idiot they think anyone with an import is in the same boat....

what pisses me of even more is that when this cop sees me again driving hoime form work, ill garantee he will pull me over time and time again......

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
