It is only "Proposed" atm. Mightn't pass. Then again, it might.

Ohh btw there's been a few camera's on gorge road recently as well, hiding in the spotting area's on the side of the road so just be careful there too.

Speeding fines, Demerit Points and having your ride confiscated for a bit isn't my idea of fun...

Hmmm, looks like will just have to swap cars, then your car cant be impounded as it causes problems for the owner.

I would like to see what acutally consistutes a car hoon. Soon you wont be able to fart in public without copping a fine.

Poor Cheeky - U R probably right....lol - you could always just become a cop yourself! If you cant beat em, join em.

its says

A car would not be impounded or forfeited if it would cause undue hardship to another person who owned the car.

say ur car is owned by urself and someone else .. then they can't take ur car ... start putting someone elses name on the ownership ...

Monaro Club of SA spokesman Ken Tregenza said drag racing on city streets terrified motorists.

they didnt' ask the skylines club did they??

If they asked us SAU pimps .. Id tell them, I got cheered on at many an intersection!! They didn't look terrified as they were cheering me on did they!!

Stevie.. there is no way on this earth that I would wear a blue uniform.

Hey hippster.. in regards to suffering "undue hardship" thats something that is at the Courts discretion. A good one is.. "i wont be able to take my nanna to church on Sunday"... haha

check ya.

Erica,

What about if the job involved the blue uniform, without actually joining up :whip: :D:)

I have been told (could be wrong) that in other states that have confiscation rules defects are basically never given out. If this is the case it might bring back the times of tubbed drag cars cruising up and down anzac highway once more...

but then whats the fun of having a tubbed drag car on the street but cant thrash it lol...

Also i think the cops dont "want" to defect as much anymore, i went through a bretho with the gtir and the had a whinge about rego sticker not up, number plate to the side etc but no fines or defects. Also i was with say 15 cars at mt lofty and a cop came up and said they wont defect anyone unless they drift/burnouts etc. In my personal experience it seems they have been told not to defect anymore.

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
