strikes are based on the driver, not the car.

they dont reset, when you get to three you are the final straw for three years. AKA, my car has just been auctioned off and i do it again, 2nd car immediatly auctioned off.

i find it f**ked that only 15 people have died because of street racing since 1997 yet they are confiscating our cars.

as to the guy that said they would know your rego, you ever heard of a fake identity (aka, the whole lot inc birth extract, bank accounts, address etc). If i KNOW i am going to be caught thats only a small effort to go to in my books

that would have been me.

i dont get it. are you saying get your rego details changed to fake details? and even if so do you honestly think many ppl are going to go to that effort so they have a chance of escaping cops?etc? think about this aswel: youd have to change your plates EVERYTIME you escaped a chase.

i think it would be a MUCH easier task to not hoon. or atleast be very selective about where you do it :(.

cheers. james.

EDIT:

yet they are confiscating our cars.
correction: they are not confiscating OUR cars just people who hoon. you make it sound like EVERY BODY on this forum hoons. and also, just because it was ONLY 15 ppl who died, try using that argument against the family members of those who died.

i personally think that faking your details is rather extreme and stupid way to get out of losing a car. if you get cought for it then you get into even more trouble for fraud.

as for hooning, a guy i know bought a r34 gtr off a guy that had lost 16points in 3 weeks. he owned the car for 3 weeks, then sold it after he lost his licence, since he knew he was going to lose more points when he got his licence back.

and as for changing your plates after every chase, if the cops type in a rego plate and it no longer is valid, it still shows them who it was registered to, and the new rego number, so that is pointless too.

and the cops have about 2 weeks to book you after the incident. so if you get into a chase and the cops don't happen to get your rego, park the car for 2 weeks afterwards.

meh i cant think of anything more retarded than these new laws

Sweet.. i lose traction in the wet, and i get put down for "drifting" and my car gets clamped at south kensington station, next morning its got the crap keyed out of it and shaving creme in every orifice..

That in itself is f*kd.. They said they may tow they may clamp but id be hoping it was down to the drivers choice, which one happens.

second offence you lose the car for 3 months.. thats probably not so bad..

But as some one said before they start trying to take peoples cars on the 3rd offence, ther'll be somehigh speed chases.. People gonna have like secondary drop down number plates, that cover there real ones and crap, james bond style. Also, if a guy gets pulled over on 3rd offence and theres 4 other blokes in the car, theres a pretty good chance that a cop or two will get hurt as soon as he says "im repossessing your car"

Personally i would run before letting them take my car.. i wouldnt think about it being stupid, id just go "screw that they can take a burned out shell if anything" and drive..

fake identities are a bit extreme, but a fake passport etc is like a grand for a good one, less than a 34 GT-R...

15 people killed since 97 and they do more for this than stopping drink drivers etc, it aint about savin lives. taking a drunk's licence away, and throwin him in jail will cost the stat money, auctioning off skylines will make HEAPS.

mad082 - go steal a set of plates, do a runner. then the cops cant prove it was your car, even though there might not be many around like yours, but any half decent lawyer would make a mocary of it in court. in short, steal a set of plates, go race, ditch the plates, wait a few weeks till the heat blows over, go do it again.

R32 gts-t, i know what you mean, and you prove my point from before, theres gonna be a hell of a lot more high speed chases, and not from crazed bank robbers and what not like you see on worlds wildest police videos, it will be people that cant stand to see their pride and joy get taken away from them, with no return/compensation, made even worse by the fact that you will be labeled a hoon when you arent meaning to do anything wrong, like your wet road situation. it happens to my mother sumtimes in a crap EA falcon, its damn sure to happen to some-one with a turbo skyline

but if it is just a spur of the moment race, you don't really have time to pull over and grab a set of plates off a parked car. then if you do get chased and happen to get away from the cops, but happen to run a red light in your escape and get clipped by a car, then the cops turn up to that you get into more trouble again, and could end up being someones bitch in a 3x3 cell.

so its easier to do the right thing in the first place.

i seriously dont know how ppl get into high speed chases. if your racing on the streets and go past the cops at high speed i dont think there going to chase you.

if so they have a duty of care. cops chasing cars at high speed is stupid. they're only going to make the person running from the cops panic and increase the chance of ana ccident and innocent ppl being hurt or killed.

yeah but cops have these wonderful things called radios, they dont need to chase you, they let you go, then when you think its all good and drive like normal, there'll be heaps more of em waitin for you down the road, or better yet, on your doorstep

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
