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 to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
