7FOUR7 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 about 4 years ago, got caught at hwy runs in my rb25 vl calais. 330rwkw manual, dropped pipes and mt slicks on the limiter about to launch next to a 10sec gsr and cops came around the roundabout behind me :( Done for absolutely everything, the car was obscenely loud, had high mount master power T70, screamer pipe, bov, microtech, fuel system in boot etc.. DID NOT get done for street racing! The cop was actually half interested in my car and let me off on it which I was stoked about. Needless to say that car would never see the road in nsw again so was sold to a guy in queensland who I hear wrapped it around a pole :( this is exactly how i was pulled up on the hwy, photo was taken the next day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clubby2084 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Years ago I had a brand spankers AE112R Corolla Sedan and it was defected for having headlight covers. Not tinted, or old and busted up. Just new clean standard headlight covers I purchased as a dealer option. I is illegal to have headlight covers because ADR regs say you are not allowed to have anything covering the headlight that may distort the light path. But as a rule, because they are dealer fit options the rule is 99.99% overlooked. Unless you get an A Hole that wants to defect a new car for no reason. Mind you that was 11 years ago, don't know if they've seen sense and changed that rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbonboy Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Not so much a defect story as a close call/lucky night. I was working evenings as a pizza delivery driver & was headed home at about 1.30am in Blue Thing (pale blue AE80 hatch). Came over a crest & spotted a booze bus up ahead, no probs, havent been drinking. Pulled up, did the BT, all good. Then another officer leans over & asks why I was driving a car with suspended registration...:blinks: :blinks: :blinks: Unbeknown to me there'd been a mixup with the transfer papers when I bought the car & the transfer never happened, hence suspended rego. So having pulled up on the median strip, I grabbed the family sized pizza out of my car, sat in the hatch area & munched away, watching the proceedings & wondering WTF I was gonna do, having about $100 to my name at this point. Two officers approached me & enquired as to what I was going to do, after offering them a slice (which they accepted...bribery FTW! :wink: ) I explained my situation to them. One then told me that they "would be packing up in about 30 minutes" & that "what I did with my car after that was not of their concern". Taking the none-too-subtle hint, I went for a bit of a walk. At a safe distance I watched them pack up & leave, waited a few minutes, then went back, got in the car & made my way home as fast as the speed limit allowed! :laff: If they wanted to, they could've quite easliy slapped a defect sticker on my car despite the suspended rego. Luckily for me, they were in a good mood. Edited May 12, 2011 by carbonboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 My flat mates painted my old dx white. Everything apart from the bottom half of the front windscreen. Even over the defect sticker it already had. Then went for a drive. I think it got 2 in one day. I wasn't impressed when I saw it when I got home from work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 i think you would get more than a defect sticker if they wanted you to! i think being unregistered voids your 3rd party insurance, which is the greatest concern. lucky eh. if we are talking about close calls, few yrs ago when i my car was...shall we say...in its early stages of development....(all different colours, and VERY poor paint, only mod is a nardi classic wheel) .i got followed home by a high way patrol car at about 4pm in the arvo, i live near a cop station so i guess they were just in the neighbour. i pull into carport, lock up car, get out, and the cop car parks across the carport (still on the street, but blocking the driveway) one cop gets out and starts aggressively asking me questions about if i had any defects, any mods, was it legal, can you please open it up etc etc. i start opening the door, and my dad walks out side, he asks "any problem officer", they go (in a nice friendly voice mind you...) "nah all good" he turns to me and sais, "keep driving safely mate, and have a good arvo" cop gets back in his car, and drives off. thanks dad! worst case scenario i get a defect for the nardi (which i got few yrs later anyway...), but yeah i think they were just picking on me, wanted to waste my time a bit. was actually pretty funny, dad scared off the cops.

Correct. Correct again, a great cause of worry for everybody concerned. :yes: :yes: :yes: Got the registration issue sorted out on the Monday (this happened on a Sunday morning) Your cops seem unwilling to take on someone their own size :( Dad FTW! :) Edited May 12, 2011 by carbonboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 My mates 180sx got yellowed on a Saturday night. By Sunday night he had his full race pipe on( 125891230897 DB ) :laff: . Taking the front bar off to keep his bigger turbo cool. pulled out the back seats and put 4 point harness in , Race steering wheel and Drift Teks with offset you could sleep in. Anyway went for a drive got pulled over again and cop started giving shit about how loud it was and my mate just pointed at the Defect on the windscreen and that was that.

Jono.C Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 i got done for my nardi classic steering wheel. 1 point, $130. What's defectable about a nardi? non adr? size? We got pulled over once in my mates r31, Two tone black and white, low, full jap spec fitment, 3" straight through exhaust, welded diff, cut and shut knuckles, extended lca's etc, plus the 300rwkw rb30et, ( rarely driven on road) Cop didn't defect it or anything simply because we where up front, he asked why it was loud, low etc and gave him straight answers. Only thing he said was to refrain from driving it on road from a safety stand point (fair enough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
