Just browsing through the herald sun on the train and noticed this, thought some people might be interested in some (relatively?? i think??) recent developments. P-Plater restrictions, now car impounding whats next.

"New laws will give police powers to impound, immobilise or confiscate cars driven dangerously

Burn-outs, doughtnuts, drag racing and other anti-social and dangerous road offences will be enough for police to seize a vehicle.

"Cars driven by first-time offenders will be held for 48 hours through impundment or on-site immobilisation" (Wouldn't be to keen on that, would come back wheel-less engine less windowless and stereo-less most likely)". Drivers caught a second time within three years face losing their cars for three months. And a third hoon-type offence within three years will mean permanent loss of their wheels. In which case it will be sold by the state of victoria which will keep the proceeds."

So i suppose they do give you three chances and im not really worried about any trouble myself. But i do think there going a bit overboard with all these new road rules and regulations. Ne wayz just thought it might be handy for ppl to know

lol "anti-social" driving... ahahahaha

im confiscating your car for snobbing that other car at the lights... just cause your driving a merc doesnt mean you shouldnt and cannot fratinise with the lower end of the market.

"why are you taking my car?"

"because u didnt say hi to others on the road"

and wouldnt drag racing, burnouts and such be a social behaviour? i mean... drag racing invloves a number of people... your meeting new people... sharing a comon interest with them... maybe even stopping to have a chat with them.

whats antisocial about that?

hahah

(btw im just being a smart arse. I dont condone any of that behaviour)

what about if u do burnouts and street race with all your mates? thats socialising...

on a serious note, three warnings is decent, but on the other hand, whats to stop them labelling something as hooning when its really not, and chalking up a hoon offence....which puts you 1 step closer to a MASSIVE FINE (losing your car)

"ummmm how so?"

"well for starters, u didnt run me when i pulled up next to you, u merely kept to yourself, need i say more. now if you wouldnt mind vacating the vehicle sir" driver gets out and waves down a taxi

id say they would have to have proof... they cant just say...

omg i caught this guy hooning... and thats all there is too it.

I've been booked for similar evils.

And you know what it comes down too?

Your word against the Officers word.

Who is the one belived regardless? The Officer

Who is the one punished? Me, who was actually innocent.

Like i said, its your word against thiers. Helps if you have a passenger, but not always. And if there are two officers.

Your grave has been dug before you start.

If they wanna bring in such laws like this. They should fix the abuse of the laws at the same time

thats exactly what i was getting at. its all well and good for these laws to come in...but if they get abused, some people are going to get seriously FKED over.

you have to remember, this can be a $30k+ fine in a lot of peoples cases

I dont do burn outs etc, but im quite sure under the new laws excessive engine noise and exhaust noise is regarded as being a hoon. My car is loud and theres not much i can do about it. If i get done 3 times for having a loud exhaust not doing burn outs etc they are going to cop it, there getting back a fckn shell. A high speed chase would also be fun :)

haha i reckon if they are going to go to extreme measures i might aswell. Sure enough if i was doing a burn out fair enough (very unlikley) but if they want to take my car away for having a loud exhaust which ive tried to shut up a few times lol they can try to catch me if they can.

obviously im just joking >_<

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.

      Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
