Oh yeah...

Done for too low (go the adjustables) - major

was pretty good about it all, the cop said, "you weren't driving like a dickhead... you've been really civil... i can see you look after the car..."

told me that i should check (but not written down on the defect):

1. exhaust vol tested

2. a non-convex mirror on the drivers side :confused:

3. check the load rating of the tyres (RE55s)

4. number plate moved

Nice guy all in all... and the best part - loved the car and didn't give me teh $165 fine!!

not a bad outcome, methinks

That sux man... where and when did you get defected??? I'm worried every time I drive my car now ;)

got defected coming back from tai-pan yum cha today along doncaster rd. Was turning off blackburn into doncaster toward the city, he was turning from donny to blackburn and did a lap and chased me down about 5 mins later... but what surprised me was that he had already called in a plate check and knew my name and address...

dayum

but you didnt get raped that badly.....

yeah too easy really... i actually said to him, "good timing as i'm pulling out the front shocks today to get them rebuilt"... which is why the car is now on jack stands in the garage...

will send them up to www.shockreco.com.au and then raise it and get the defect cleared at vicroads - too easy.

Don't even need a roadworthy ;)

Good to hear you came across a nice cop.

My thoughts are why did he pull you over since u were being sensible and all?

Is it simply the recent "lets pull over imports / round tail light cars and give them a once over" rule??

Very frustrating knowing that a skyline owner has a much greater chance than any other car of being pulled over for a random check for no particularly reason at all ;)

I too know all about this having been pulled over while driving home in peak hour traffic for purposes of going over the car. Didn't get a defect or anyhting and the officer was an ok bloke but it begs the question why was i targetted for no apparent reason and for how long will this continue??

Anyway it's great that u don't have to get a rwc and so u won't be incovenienced to a great extent ;)

yup you need a flat faced mirror on drivers side. bl with the sticker,  but good the cop wasnt an ass

what i don't get is... was Nissan Aust too lazy to change them when they did the oz delivered ones?

They were changed, on both sides. It is very strange that you do not have them.

I suspect it has just been replaced at some time in the car's life.

Ronin 09 you dont happen to have personal no. plates?

saw a nice looking black R32 in camberwell today (near evans pl.) that also had a defect notice stuck onto its windscreen

umm... yes, that'd be me... saw a movie yesterday at Rivoli ;)

that was 20 mins after the defect - and he almost made us miss the movie!

lol marcus

why do they waste our time so? its not like we find it hard to get rid of the yellow stickers.

sometimes i think we should have more rights as motorists when it comes to being pulled over for a "random checkup"

i bet about 5 rusty old fords with drum brakes all round went past and he didnt even batter an eyelid.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
