This coming from someone that usually has a go at people on here for 'hooning'..... Oh but you had a good reason to 'hoon' i guess... Think twice before having a go at someone else for commenting something like this, or on how tragic it is when someone is killed by a 'hoon', today it could have been you that killed someone..

if he stopped at 60, no laws would have been broken. Rapid acceleration is not a crime.

-D

Pretty sure rapid acceleration is a crime man - A cop would call that hoon driving, excessive engine noise. I'll launch my GT-R to 60 and see if I don't get pinged, with no wheel spin and I'll still get pwnt.

Unless they can point out the legislation which defines the maximum acceptable rate of acceleration, it'd never hold up in court. I also don't believe there's a law on 'engine noise' either.

If you spin your wheels, you get done for driving with undue care... my point is tho, unless there is a written law, sure they can give you a fine or whatever, but it'd get thrown out in court if theres no legislation against it...

Also this is apples vs oranges - a bike by nature takes off a hell of a lot faster than a car, even when its not being driven hard. Little thing called 'power to weight ratio'

-D

EDIT - Kye did you challenge it in court or did you simply pay a fine?

I've been fined for undue engine noise man - its 'hoon driving' straight up. Thats why this whole hoon driving bullshit gives me the sh!ts because its too much of a grey area and if you do get a bad cop he can pin anything on you under 'hoon' driving laws.

Yeah I agree... thats why I'd be challenging it - too much ambiguity in the legislation. If our pollies had even half a brain per person they would have seen how fundamentally flawed it is.

My argument in court would be 'what constitutes "undue engine noise" as per a specific volume?' and then I would ask 'If exceeding (x) dB constitutes undue engine noise, can the officer in question supply credible measured proof as to the noise of the engine he believes to be 'excessive'.

Theres a reason why they have noise analysers in police cars - for exhausts, loud parties as well as anything else that would breach the EPA act - if they don't use it, then they're not providing the defendant with all possible avenues to defend their innocence. That alone is generally a caveat that gets cases thrown out of court.

There will be some excuse to say that it was ok though.

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
