Got defected last night coming home from a party at 2am after being followed and "Random Breath Tested".

- Pod Filter (I had it boxed off, so no they don't make it legal)

- Exhaust over 98db

- Non-engineer Intercooler (Hybrid)

- Defective Rear tyres (Just warning because they're getting there)

Got no complaints, what can ya do. I will be returning to stock and probably selling up, tired of driving scared all the time.

Asked about power to weight, he said January next year Red P Platers will be monitored with what they drive.

/end rant.

- Pod Filter (I had it boxed off, so no they don't make it legal)
Absolute bullshit! I got a warning about having a pod fitted (no box, that was laying in the boot haha). I took the 'notice' to the local blue slip mechanic dude and he just laughed at me because he said their is nothing in his 'check book' that says an air filter needs to be covered. By then I had already replaced my hks pod with a stock airbox (prefer that anyhow) and got my noticed ticked off. Basically the cops have absolutely no idea, they are just looking for aftermarket parts. They spent about 5mins (3 cops) looking under my bonnet for a blowoff valve (which I don't have) meanwhile i'm there standing over my fmic :)

Edit. Last night I was on the GWH on the way home from Parramatta (heading west) when I seen a suspiscious grey stock commodore behind me with chase rims and 2 older guys in it. They followed me (closely) for about 5km whilst having plenty of opportunities to overtake or merge into other lanes. Then an orange XR6T pulled up next to me at a set of lights and wanted to race. I let him go but about 3 sets of lights later the grey commodore decided to egg him on abit. They both took off and after about 100m the commodore threw his lights on and booked the orange XR6T.

:wassup:

lol... :)

It really is bullcrap how they are allowed to defect cars.

I had a friend tell me a cop on a motor bike pulled up next to him at a set of traffic lights, flipped up his visor and said.

"If it wasn't for working a 13.5hr shift I'd pull you over and defect you for your blow off valve"

Funny thing is its a friggin stock blow off valve.

DezertEagle, you've had the car about 6 months, modded the hell out of it, blown an engine and now got defected, right?

And now you want to sell it?

Haev you considered driving a stock skyline? I had mine 4 years, never defected, broke down one (radiator exploded). Put a diff and new engine in it at the end but that was it. After 4 years of hard driving including plenty of track days on cheater tyres. I put 60000klm on it as well.

That sucks dude.

How were you driving at the time?

That pod in a box defect is a piece of crap. A friend of mine who has an s14 got defected for his exhaust and for "not having an H pattern on or near the shifter"!!!!

wil..

Exhaust... well some are a bit loud or hang down or whatever but this H pattern bullsh1t is just a complete "We will get you for something" load of donkey w@nk.

I have a small label made on a P-touch "near" my gear lever just to foil that one.

BUT I am the only one who drives my car and I know where the fusking gears are and I don't look at the gear lever like a 2 month learner.

what a crock

12 months now. I reckon it's still more a mild modded one. The engine would ping stock, me not knowing about engines too well back then didn't pay attention and so - pop. Yes I got defected.

I want to sell, in place an E36 M3.

I will consider a stock GTR, but a stock GTSt probably not.

From what I know DezertEagle's car is no BLING BLING car though. 200rwkw on the UAS dyno with a stock computer ain't no rice mobile....

(stock bov too yeah Dezert?)

It has a GTR Fibreglass front bar and fibreglass Trial Rear bar.

Focused most attention to engine bay, running best fluids in gearbox, diff and engine etc with 'Smart' mods.

S-ITC and S-AFC were all there and were just about to be tuned :)

Stock BOV :)

I hate to break it to you guys, but ANYTHING that is not stock can technically be defected unless you have a full engineers approval. This can include pods, zorst, intercoolers or any a/m ECU's. The cops can make life difficult or easy, it depends on the cops and the attitude of the person being pulled over.

My brand new XR6Turbo could be defected because I have a sports airfilter & Unichip installed as its not stock.

I would think that at least 30% of cars on the road could be defected, its just that imports have a bad name and imports driven by P platers have DEFECT ME written all over them.

It is not always fair, but its life.:flamed:

The bloody laws are ambiguous as buggery.

Techncially, if Mal is right - and I'm sure he is - You can get done for a Midas Exhaust when your stock one rusts away to nothing - Just cause it is not stock.

WTF !

The manufacturers should be having a field day with this one.....

"Don't go to Midas, Pedders, Kings, Lovells, Monroe, Konio, Bilstien, K-Mac, Whiteline, etc etc etc Cause they don't supply a fit stock parts."

What a crock of absolute SHIT !

Absolutely B-man it has to be exactly as the manufacturer had approved originally :wave:

DezertEagle I didn't mean any sort of attack, its just that skylines are a great car, and perfectly legal if you don't mod em.

You *will* be disappointed with the performance of a bmw.....so return it to stock and enjoy it :P

dezerteagle mate I have the solution to your problem - buy yourself a R31 Series III GXE. Either enjoy the beefy 3litre or whack an engine into it.

1 - it's a sleeper

2 - if you're into girls, it's a good thing cause they'll be throwing themselves at you when they find out that you drive a R31!!

(isn't that right pete!!)

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
