I took my car over the pits a couple of weeks ago.Initial fee is $53.70 or something.

They will examin your whole car from top to bottom, take it for a drive around the block (yes you can be in your car while they do this).

second examination fee is something like $38 and they will only examin what was needed to be rectified on your work order extension sheet.

with the tint thing, my uncle does it and we are finding that they will allow you to pass if you leave your back window on and just remove the sides, i tinted mine so i had legal film on the back and 15 grade on the sides (im not to fussed if i have to take the sides off , they are easyer to redo than the back window)

cheers

yeh mine didn't say full inspection, just says "tint should be legal, currently 14.5 should be 35"

well just got the tint removed, looks crap now feel... so ... exposed hehe

the tint a car guy told me they aren't allowed to check tint at night (i was checked at 11.50pm) and that i could have refused the yellow, no doubt they would have tried something else to get me for.

he also told me that my pod filter is not legal without a heat shield???

it is an Apexi type, braced to the chassis with the correct bracket.

can anyone clarify? can i just get a permit for it when it goes over the pits?

Hey Jarryd, i found that in the cruize ten thread, the aftermath discusion about all the yellow stickers handed out haha.

i think somewhere on the depertmant of transport site it will say stuff about blow off valves and the likes.

When i took my car to the pits I had one solid braket holding my pod to the chassis of the car (very secure) he was pleased enough with that and told me no permit would be needed for it. Also my strutt brace was still fitted and he didnt even look twice at that.

Scott simply was in the wrong place at the wrong time , they had set up a road block basicly just to search vehichles which they knew we were coming (mine included but due to still having a yellow sticker let me through after checkin to see if i had a spare tyre)

They were actually quit c0cky about the whole thing, anouther mate of ours (again anouther 4 door haha) was told to remove his digital display gauge which was mounted out of site from the driver. I beleive quite a few cars were searched and had yellow stickers handed out for no apparant illegal mods.

Like scott stated alot off respect was lost for the police at that point as we all saw it as bullying.

ahh wells

this is the moddifiers game i guess

Thanks dude! Will go and have a look, i did hear bout that bit of the cruise, shame the cops cant leave us import lovers alone

hmm cheers impul, yes seems to be a bit of bullying going on and i lose respect for these 'police' daily...

after my family saw my yellow sticker my stepfather (who is one of those council crusader types hehe) ended up calling the police stations to find out why they were allowed to check my tint at night when nobody could get the same reading - i saw a reading of 1000, the female cops saw 75 and the male cop told me it was 14.5... quite a difference.

my tint has been ripped off now and i was informed by the senior constable my stepfahter spoke with that there is no record whatsoever of them giving me a defect notice.

i'm not sure how the cops these days are on their paperwork but i begin to suspect a lot of these stickers that are given out in these incorrect circumstances may not be processed officially, of course we wouldn't know and would still pay out our time and money for the hassle of 'complying' our vehicles...

*not happy jan*
