    Am I missing something here.
    So this operation primarily targets suspension lifts and / or larger tyres fitted to utility 4x4s with ESC. Ok, after all it is called operation lift.

    But I've noticed that most if not all people who got defected up there and made a post on FB or forums , actually got defected for other miscellaneous mods . Catch cans , pillar pods, larger bonnet scoops , too many lights or lights fitted in illegal spots etc ...
    I'm yet to actually read someone got a defect for a lift kit.

    I did see a pic somewhere, sometime of a Ranger with a big lift and 35's being towed....

    The ESC debate is because QLD are looking to review the ban on larger tyres/wheels on ESC vehicles and allowing (I think) placard + 25mm.
    I think (again I am not sure) that the review is due sometime in October.

    That means that for the ESC vehicles the defect today may well be totally OK in a matter of weeks.
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    I'd really like to know on what basis the installation of a closed system catch can is illegal as has been stated here.
    Under what legislation?
    Has anyone received or actually seen a real fine issued for this (not stories from facebook or a second or third hand tales)?
    Does anyone have anything definitive that really clarifies the legality (or otherwise) of a catch can?
    Does an installation just require certification to be legal?
    At the rate we are going, it will soon be illegal to top up your own radiator.

    They are using an outdated law. When I had my Patrol engineered I was told to remove the catch can for said reasons. The outdated law is going from when catch cans were originally installed and vented into the atmosphere, not recirculated back into the air intake.

    Queensland roads minister throws the cops under a bus over this issue and in true political double speak claims it's only affecting their drivers not interstate drivers although the brief says otherwise .

    So hang on...

    All those vehicles that got defected over the last few weeks will be legal next month? Am I understanding this correctly?

    Depends what they where defected for , but yep if it was just defected for a lift that is withing the new regs they will be legal when the law changes. Good way 2 make some quick cash defect everyone before it changes
