Thats f**ked up.Even if you have a mod plate? What about if your car is engineered and had have papers?

Fair enough if you've get a major defect like not having a engine conversion approved but what about simple things like coolers and pod filters?

This is totally and utterly f**ked. Yep another way to waste police time and take them away from real problems. 'ok officer picklestien, dont worry about assaults, robberies, drugs, child abuse, infact lets forget real crime tonight altogether, were gunna go down the BWCP and get Joe BLogs for his pod filter and his rims'. Yeah what away to spend quality police time. And its our taxes that will be paying for this pathetic injustice to which gets me even more pissed. They complain about lack of officer numbers and shit, y dont they have a look at what they're doing to waste quality police time. i agree with the riot idea X3 x4 x5 x6 x7 (gots some mates that will be down to riot). Stick it to the man, and yes like the link said possibly this may add to the number of police related bashings or pursuits. What will be next i wonder, u cant play footy with gloves, u cant wear sweat bands playing basketball, U cant write in red pen, u must have blonde hair, blue eyes. ALL HAIL HITLER!!!! 3RD REICH BACK IN COMMAND. Coming soon to QLD- Automobile Auswitchz.

no skin off my back.. just dont do stupid things attract attention and you wont get caught and defected...

LOL

so dont drive around with a modified exhaust (which practically every skyline has these days) and you wont get caught?

Driving around with a different exhaust tip is enough to attract the ass rammers to your window.

its got nothing to do with dont do something stupid. if anyone can honestly say thats its quiet allrite to loose or have the possibility to loose ur car because of a pod filter or a different gear knob then ur just another beureacratic public servant.they should be concentrating on other shit not wasting everyones time and money on giving us less freedom... better yet lets just go to work pay tax come home and shut ur mouth and sleep then do that all ur life....fix the f**ken roads and infastructure around the place...

People still go cruising?

I guess tho, it is a bit difficult to rectify a defect with your car in impound...

Btw, I have a bright red cefiro, which used to have a VERY loud exaust, pics and mod list on most forums, and I have in 3.5years been pulled over a TOTAL of 3 times. Once I was not paying attention and was speeding, got a fine, they had a quick look under the bonnet, and told me my exaust was a bit nosiy. Another time I was being silly. And once for an RBT. I used to go cruising with 'the group' for a good 2years of that 3.5 years. Seriously if you say its about not being stupid, its just cops hate imports. Wake up, it just isnt. Its about your additude on the road, and going to places where you are going to get done.

Meh who cares, if it happens it happens, modified vehicles esp exhaust keep it legal limit your alright, there will be no real defect then, keep you cat converter your alright, box your pod you'll be ok why wouldnt you box it anyway CAI is better by far anyway, easy enough to solid mount it as well, out of site out of mind I say, that hieght restriction been around for ever really, just keep it at legal limit, FFS if your really worried get a mod plate or eng cert on certain mods, and the easiest of them all is just dont be ffing stupid on the roads. Keep safe and you will be ok.

All this worry about these laws i mean wtf, its not that hard to make certain things legal on your car is it? and still not hinder on performance. All i can say is that EVEN if you did riot what reason have you got to riot, its mainly dickheads in the past that have caused them to mainly come into place ie: (Street drags, racing and the like around the public eye) not on the area it should be at the track/strip. They'll just laugh at you if you riot just throw a little more fuel on the fire. The papers and news would love it.

Worry when it does happen, at the moment its just talk.

cheers

I second that.

I have had my line, as it is, for 5 years, and only ever pulled up once.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
