Im with Just Car... Paid $1,250 this year for full comp, including mods such as exhaust and cooler. Im 22 yrs old with no accidents etc. I got many quotes before I went with Just Car and they were the cheapest by far and were almost the only ones that would insure me. As it has been said before, if it seems to good to be true then it usually is. Besides I would rather pay a few more hundred a year and know I am definately covered than be with a dodgy company who some how finds a clause in the paper work and makes them not liable to pay up when you have an accident or your car gets stolen.

It sounds like a job you could have easily done yourself... As mentioned its only $55 bucks, not really worth worrying about. As for the horn not working, these things happen occasionally and its not entirely his fault.

But apart from cruise info, it gives me nothing I am personally going to use... By the way dezz... what do u mean insurance reasons? Its on a public road not a race track??

LOL im not paying $70 just to find out a time and a place for some cruise. Will organise somethin else for us girls to do this Saturday. Enjoy your cruise...

Hey ppls... Really interested in going on my first cruise with Skylines Australia and was just wondering if anyone can tell me where the meeting spot is and what time the cruise is this Saturday which is heading up the black spur. For some reason it won't come up on my screen when I click on the events.. Ta!

Anyone know where to go to get my car lowered in the eastern suburbs? (apart from pedders) Any tips before I get it done... I think I only need the rear lowered, ( it seems so high sometimes i can see the whole of my cannon exhaust) as it seems to stick up compared to the front. If i get the whole car lowered, will this effect me putting on my FMIC later if its too low? Can you even got super low shocks for Skylines?? My Vl used to be low as, want my skyline the same!

My apologies about writing the word "loophole". I should have written provision! I am aware of the regulations SteveL. I should reword it then. On every car NO numberplate is affixed permanately, you can take them off anytime you like! Unless they have 1 way screws. I see no difference if he had them on his front window, as they too are not permanately affixed even if siliconed them on. It also states (subsection d) one numberplate MUST be on the rear and front of the car. He had done that. If a officer can see it on a 45 degree angle either side of the car there should be no problem. Nothing in the regs suggests he has to affix it to his bumper bar. In all if he takes it to court, it would be up to the magistrate to decide. Cheers, Jay

Read these mate, you should find the info your looking for in here Vehicle Standards Regulations Roadworthiness http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/RulesS...rdsInformaiton/ Demerit Point Penalties http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Licens...intOffences.htm Road Safety Act (General) Regulations http://www.dms.dpc.vic.gov.au/Domino/Web_N...33;OpenDocument Road Safety Act (Drivers) Regulations http://www.dms.dpc.vic.gov.au/Domino/Web_N...33;OpenDocument

Heres a few more. Protrusions from front of car (ie lights). Modified ECU (no longer complies with EPA) Too Low when fully loaded. Spare wheel (15") is not same size as actual rims on Car (17-18") Exhaust Obstruction of vision, etc Its what you call double standards!!!!!

NOU = notice of unroadworthiness I think linedupr33's point is that he asked for there details and they didnt supply him with them. He may have one of the officers details but what about the other. If he refused to supply them with his details he may be detained until they verify his identity. It is a two way street but it only ever seems to go one way!! He did do they wrong thing by not affixing the plate 12hrs later. He did do the right thing by still displaying it. I would personally contest them as they were still technically displayed at the front of the vehicle. You probably dont get many complaints because you treat people as you wish to be treated.

Hey im just after a set of rear parcel shelf speaker covers undamaged, as mine were broken when trying to put in a new set of speakers. Thanks.

1. There is a loophole that says you do not have to have a front numberplate affixed to the front of the car (this is why motorbikes do not have to display one) If it was on the front windscreen you should be able to get let off the fine. 2. You can write a letter to the OPI (office of police integrity) about your complaint but if it is seen as a management/behavioural issue they will refer you to ESD. I suggest you write a letter to both. Do not exagerate the incident as they will speak to the officers. If you have any witnesses in the car (ie, your girlfreind get her to write one in too). Do not pay the fine until you here back from them. Ring ESD to clarify. There address are as follows: ESD Police Conduct Unit 412 ST KILDA RD Melbourne, Vic 3001 1300 363 101 Ring to find where OPI is as i cant remember there exact address. It will more than likely be ESD handling your complaint then forwarding on to the senior sergeant at that station that will then deal with the situation, he will then ring you and ask what you want done about it, just discuss with him what happened. They will all sound like arogant pricks on the phone too, dont be put off by it and stick to what decision you have made, dont be intimidated. He will make excuses on behalf of the officers (siting the riot last week, drags etc) dont listen to him and just state it is besides the point. 3. When asking any officer they MUST give there name, station and rank (they do not have to give superior officers name), if they refuse it is a breach of there code of conduct. It is there duty when asked by you on request to supply their details. As it is by you, when asked by them You should be able to get one of the officers names, station, rank and badge number from the bottom of the fine. Use it when writing the letter and state, his partner whose name you did not get was also rude. ESD do not look apon his actions too kindly and it makes a difference in there attitudes the next time they go to pull some one over or are looked over for a promotion. 4. When a officer says to you that he will be doing an inspection of you car, ask him if it is a roadworthy. If he says yes he may only search your car for roadworthy items. (he is not allowed to search through bags etc.) This also includes your glovebox and centre console as there are no roadwothy items in there. You have a right to ask him to stop searching your vehicle at anytime if he starts to check other things. If they are looking for drugs they must state they are and have probable cause. 5. Neons can be considered illegal is they are dazzling or distracting to other drivers it is advised not to drive with them on. If they were not on there is nothing the police officers can do about it. 6. I suggest to all people on this forum to carry in there car at all times a notepad, pen and tape recorder (or use your phone).

Did yours come in a pink box?? I had the same problem and the guys at Autobarn gave me the wrong boss kit for my 33. I think I ended up swaping the HKB for an autotechnica one as it was the only one that fitted. (There are different kinds) If you have the right boss kit, you can connect the horn. You might also find you have a problem with the HICAS button tho after changing the steering wheel...

Oh ok...nice. yeah I think it was roughly $1000 for the whole kit, but cos i have a 3inch exhaust system they are just cutting the pipe half way thro and connecting it from there and putting it on the angle...

Hey guys, Just wondering if many of you have a cannon muffler?? I am in the process of buying a 4ich xforce cannon but have been told that i may lose a bit of power. I currently have a 3inch exhaust but wanted the big cannon tip (mainly for looks) I don't really wanna change the sound of it if possible and I especially dont want it to sound like those gay lancers.. prob is, I dont really know what the sound difference is till its all done. Anyway, ant info is appreciated. I have been quoted between $220-$400 from different places with the same brand of cannon. Am i best to spend more?? Also, are super cat and mobil line good brands??? Ta!!
