Thanks for that usefull information mate, in regards to my situation, should i head down the to blokes station and basically tell him that its garbage and explain why? in the section on my defect notice for 'station' he wrote STTF, does that mean he actually doesn't have a station? perhaps i should write a letter to them

STTF i think are out of head office brisbane. they patrol all over qld.

State Traffic Task Force

There is an office at Boondal and they do travel all over the state.

If you send a letter to them this is what will happen.

They will read it, all have a good laugh and send one back to you saying "The ticket will still stand."

my car arrived 5 years ago with NO metal in the front bar area. What the heck are guys like me supposed to do?

Man i dislike coppers.. and those pencil heads who think they know ALL and make the rules which condemn us...

If the car is mod plated now, then it should stand down the track reguardless of the rules. it will have an engineers approval.

Thats what i'm gonna do.. Thanks for the heads up! See how it pans out.

Cheers

On my last car i pulled the front bumper rio out to fit the veftex front bar and intercooler, never got round to putting it back on but it got complied like that, it depends if they pick up on it when complying the car as it shouldnt be passed without it. STTF will still fine you no matter what the circumstances

lol you can sell teh car with the defect, aslong as you get a roady and transfer the car into his name, then it is cleared as far as i know, ask nismo_boy :P

btw- compliance for 32's did require a rear lamp unless under the 15yr rule, although some workshops have neglected to do this when complying cars among other things :(

Thats correct.

My car was under defect and required to be cleared at the police station. As I was selling/sold the car... I neglected to tell the new owner. I still got a dodgy RWC, transfered the car into the new owners name, and bingo cleared.

It's like when your car has been impounded for hooning, the current owner may have had the car impounded but once it changes names the slate is cleaned and you start fresh.

So you're saying if your car was impounded for hooning, all you need to do is change of ownership to your mate for instance and they'll release the car?????

I think Josh means, if your cars impounded and you sell it....the new owner starts fresh with that car...ie. next time that car is caught for a "hoon" offence it's the first time.

Otherwise I think he means you start fresh if you sell the car...but I would have thought they'd base the law on the amount of times the drivers been caught "hooning" not the car.

No.

Example:

I'm selling a car that had been impounded TWICE. One more time and they have it for keeps. You buy my car with a current RWC and transfer it into your name, you now legally own the car.

The amount of times the car has been impounded is now reset as it's owned by another person: EG, if you got done for hooning and the Police impounded your car although its technically the cars third time, it's only counted as it's first as its under new ownership, therefore it wont be taken for keeps.

I've always wondered what happens for eg. If I've been caught "hooning (rofl)" twice...cars been impounded..then we go out in someone else's car and I am driving I decide to "hoon" who's car do they take?? Do they come round and get mine hahahaha?

They take the car the driver was being a hoon in.

bit of an issue if they take a car registered to someone else and confiscate it permanetly. For eg. I borrow your car, go down the shops, do a skid or something classified as "hooning" your car gets permanetly confiscated....would be very interesting!!

It would be interesting indeed if and when the matter went to court.

    • Hey guys, I’m a veteran detailer with years of hands-on experience. I’ll be sharing quick, effective detailing tips to help you keep your Skyline (or any ride) looking its best. Got a question? Fire away!
    • I guess when I say it's a POS I mean.. the solution and the stuff has the capacity for maybe... 1 spot. You know, as a spot cleaner. What I really *want* is the ability to do an entire car, all upholstery, all carpet, mats, all seats, door card inserts, A pillars, roof liners, etc. In one go. I get lured by all the jank that comes out and think "I'd like to be able to clean to that degree"
    • I've got one (not the car one, the domestic spot cleaner one, which is basically the same jobbie) and have driven it hard for hours and hours at a time. Grimy sofas, 6' floor rugs, etc. I'd blame your specific example rather than the whole category. I haven't used mine in the car, because.... you know, it's my car. So there is no-one else's ball sweat in the driver's seat, there's no kid food/drink spills or hand prints inside because they've never had an opportunity to put them there. You know, basic, standard Skyline rules.
    • I normally run with I think a 10mm, and definitely use the second handle you can add to a drill. They hurt when they bins up!   For the crush tube, once all subframe is clear, I'd try some stilsons and see if I can get it to start to twist.
    • Probably because they couldn't, because the use of the variable resistor to create a "signal" in the ECU is managed by the ECU's circuitry. The only way that VDO could do it would be if they made a "smart" sensor that directly created the 0-5V signal itself. And that takes us back to the beginning. Well, in that case, you could do the crude digital (ie, binary, on or off) input that I mentioned before, to at least put a marker on the trace. If you pressed the button only at a series of known integer temperatures, say every 2°C from the start of your range of interest up to whatever you can manage, and you know what temperature the first press was at, then you'd have the voltage marked for all of those temperatures. And you can have more than one shot at it too. You can set the car up to get the oil hot (bypass oil coolers, mask off the air flow to oil coolers, and/or the radiator, to get the whole engine a bit hotter, then give it a bit of curry to get some measurements up near the top of the range.   On the subject of the formula for the data you provided, I did something different to Matt's approach, and got a slightly different linear formula, being Temp = -22.45*V + 118.32. Just a curve fit from Excel using all the points, instead of just throwing it through 2 points. A little more accurate, but not drastically different. Rsquared is only 0.9955 though, which is good but not great. If you could use higher order polynomials in the thingo, then a quadratic fit gives an excellent Rsquared of 0.9994. Temp = 2.1059*V^2 - 34.13*V + 133.27. The funny thing is, though, that I'd probably trust the linear fit more for extrapolation beyond the provided data. The quadratic might get a bit squirrely. Hang on, I'll use the formulae to extend the plots.... It's really big so you can see all the lines. I might have to say that I think I really still prefer the quadratic fit. It looks like the linear fit overstates the temperature in the middle of the input range, and would pretty solidly understate what the likely shape of the real curve would say at both ends.
