The fine used to be $110 and no points, but damn now $1.1K + 3 points? i dont think there will be too many P platers on the road with performance cars after the set date

That's the idea, you can thank the smack tards who do street racing in turbo vehicles and V8's for this crap. This is the government reacting to public out cry. Get used to it.

That's the idea, you can thank the smack tards who do street racing in turbo vehicles and V8's for this crap. This is the government reacting to public out cry. Get used to it.

man ive noticed that in the past month there have been nothing but stories about street draging and stuff, and lets not forget noble maccas. ffs this is gonna be hard man, oh well 2 more years, i can do it :P

A mate of mine got killed in a Hyundai Excel. These law's won't stop the road toll. Driver training is what's needed.

I used to have a sticker on my old car, maybe I should get it reprinted. It said: Don't ban high performance cars, ban low performance drivers!

Yes but I think in this case.. you're not likely to see an Excel going 160k/hr and I think that's the difference and the narrow point of view that the govt sees it from.

Don't think I'm on the side of these new laws tho.

The majority of tossers driving around like f/tards and flying through traffic are usually in a commodore. Doesn't need to be a v8 either.

Its like if I see a skyline doing 140+ and almost running people off the road, I remember it for months because it's a rare event. However a commodore acting like a tard and going at the same speeds.. it's hard to remember one from another because it happens so frequently...

Actually utes have been the worst offenders of late.

I think the actual statistics on fatalities and make/model of car involved would be more beneficial to the public.. as opposed to the current media process of.. if its a skyline, 300zx, 180sx etc say "SKYLINE" and if its anything else put "SEDAN".

Hope that makes sense, I'm in a rush :P

just do community service if you cant pay it off lol

but still should be obeying those laws (yes they suck, but what can we do?)

Can you really do comm service if you get fined?

So say i get one of these fines, and i wont be able to pay it off, i can do comm service instead?

Or will they tell me to sell my car to pay for it :cheers:

all i can say, is its gunna "SUX" to be a "JU"

sucks to be a jew? lol

As far as I know, 1991-1993 R32's are the legal ones....1990 would probably be over the CURRENT power to weight limit, so it'd be a no....

Tare sticker on my rego says 1250kg, stock power is 158kw = 126.4kw/tonne

I remember ive read somewhere that it is under the limit, but the above calculation isnt helping and if cops go by the weight on the rego sticker...then im in trouble lol

rego sticker weights mean nothing.

According to this site;

http://nissanskyline.6te.net/GTST_spec.htm

R32 weighs 1320kg. If vicroads uses this weight the car is 119~kw/tonne.

There is a difference in weight between 89-90 and 91-93 because of the added intrusion bars in the later models. Question is, would vicroads put that much detail in measuring weights of different year.

i got a '92 gtst so im all sweet, plus i got 18" and me being 6ft 5" and weighing 100kg helps out lol :thumbsup:....

what has this got to do with the price of fish in China?

It's the FACTORY weight of the vehicle without passengers...

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
