create a video clip showing that not everyone is a hoon. Targeting modified cars is not the answer.. and highlight all their footage that is incorrect... then send this video clip to ACA

i fkn dare any one to crush my car cause i left 2 tyre marks on the road.... Morris Iemma needs to look at things a bit more clearly and not try to use scare tactics against people who would probly die for there cars..

pretty sure such a video would be edited to feature in an article about gangs or some other bullshit.... i seem to recall the last one focusing on some hectik tool at brighton, bragging about how fast he's gone on public roads. Basically: videos can be edited and manipulated...

can't see this working ey seriously if they chase one of these rocket ships that are full hardcore street racing (not acceleratin up to the speed limit fast from traffic lights - thats not racing).... do you really think if they know they will loose there cars that they're going to stop???? all i can see happening is more violence and police high speed chases....

This is the stupidest law ever.. No one has the right to crush your property, whether it be a pencil or a car..

If people street race, they should confiscate the cars, theres no need to crush them, its ridiculously stupid..

Im sure alot of people with modded street cars are gonna get their cars crushed for what police deem as 'racing' when it was nothing like that..

What happens if they crush your car then later there is evidence that you WERENT racing?

How about we all go out and crush everything that we dont like? that sounds fun

Here we go again, first siezing now crushing. There is no equity in this law. Penalties must be uniform, if they were'nt the judicioury would be free to hand down a life sentence for shoplifting; wait until someone with 150K wrapped up in a ride gets this penalty This is yet another case of political interference in the process with aim of winning a few votes from a scared ignorant middle class and saving a few bucks. The use of these hoon laws tells me that governments has given up on young people and are more interested in headlines than controlling the death toll. The idea of "breaking" or "humiliating" someone is draconian and punitive; it achieves nothing but gaining headlines and creating an under class of young men with a desereved hatred of the law and the unfortunate men and women who prosecute it. Lazy and weak government.

Riots powers stay

Just announced: cops now have the power to:

" to stop vehicles they suspect are travelling to a location where public disorder is brewing; and

* to seize and detain any item police believe might be likely to assist in preventing or controlling public disorder.

Anybody see this possibly being exploited??? :P

if i ever got caught racing and they wanted to crash my car, id seriously start throwing a hissy and hop away.... end of story... i dont think id let any cop just take my GTR, sorry doesnt work like that....

I think that instead of thinking of what you'd do "IF".....

just don't race your car on public roads and save everyone the bullshit.

nuff said.

i drive more cautiously since owning a modifed car, because my car sticks out like a sore thumb

the last 20 cars i've seen doing burnouts/donuts/being hoons on public roads have all been comodores. the fact that they're targeting modified vehicles is a joke

I think every one is worrying too much.

nah over-reacting to a story about a non-existent law that is an over-reaction itself is cool..

let's whip ourselves into a fevour

aaaaand GO!!

you cant educate people against the dangers of street racing.they have to be seriously injured to realise this. 3 wks ago a mate at tafe was in a po-po chase. needless to say they caught him. he has no license for a long time. do you think that it stopped him from driving <_<No. i dont know many people have bragged about how many times they have driven a car and they have no license.

the point being if crushing cars gets the real hoons/boy racers/i dont give a f**k about the system tools off of the street then thats the only way it can be done. ok i partially change my mind depending on the offence. if it isnt as serious as a car crushable offence then i think long,long,looong term impoundment is the way to go.pretty simple really. take it to the track.

if the "street hoons" have a laugh at u when u say how much it costs to track the car for a day just ask them how much they have paid in fines.lol.and or how much they will end up paying in fines executing the same shit.

Its all well adn good to say " take it to the track" but how much funding have you seen go to the local tracks from all the speed camera and other revenue? the gov does not care about supporting a legitimate place where you can go fast. All they care about is the majority of public opinion and revenue

yeah I know, but that's part of my point. who determines what is street racing? what is just speeding? what is just speeding beside/near a car that also happens to be speeding? that's the problem, the whole thing is very subjective.

It also comes down to your word against the laws word.

Now if there is two of the law (two officers) and only your word... then in reality in the courts, you dont stand chance if it is even a semi-trivial case.

I've been on the brunt of officers lying in court, and i'll freely say they were lying even if the 'court' (read:bias judge) said they were not.

Its a disgusting proposal.

You guys should organise a protest, hell i'd come up just to protest also.

i knew this was going to eventuate.

everyone on this forum present your car at sims metal. as your all guilty of rekless driving,dangerouse driving and street racing. and figurivly speaking of corse. anYone who has given it a "hit" is who im talking about.

just think about that for a second. remember back to everytime you have ever accelerated quickly. ie: 1st to 2nd.. then picture a very angry biased higway patrol car being behind you EVERYTIME you have done it. im pretty sure most of us would be in the shit.

the point of that statment is to highlight the fact that the police have just gone to hard on everyone in regard to street racing type offences. all this proposed law will do is further seperate and remove any ounce of respect for the police.

canceling rego etc etc is a better option im my opinion. remove the car,remove the problem. but without causing potential mass upraw in the car comunity.

either way. if you are caught for legitimatly racing then more seveer penaltys should be in place. the problem with the laws is they only have one scale of street racing. same for giving it a short burst as attempting max speed. there neeeds to be a scale in place. and the laws dont allow any police scrutiny at all.

end rant.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
