won't people then just make fake reports?

Yeah, I dont like that EMSTA guy. Lets report him for hooning. "Um i swear officers, he was like going sidewayz, fully sick and all".

Yeah and get ya m8 in the passenger set to log another report on the same incident just to be sure.

Man I see that as a good way for people who hate losing being out burned at lights to report ya as a hoon. (Namely Commondore drivers)

Yeah, im pretty sure the system will not work well. Your taking a random persons word that another driver was "hooning". There would at least have to be a system where they would have to receive 'x' amount of reports aboput the same incident or multiple reports about the same driver for it to be even remotely accurate

In a related Herald Sun report:

It will give police more intelligence ...

God knows, they need some :laughing-smiley-014:

But really, dangerous driving and hooning aren't necessarily the same. Some idiot driving without any realisation of what is happening around him can be just as dangerous as the aforementioned 17 yo idiot

I dont get it somethin Im not proud of I got clocked 130km/h in a 70km/h zone.. no newspaper article for me and before everyone gets too uptight about the speeding.. I was on the way to my mothers car accident where a guy was threatening her by the side of the road...still shouldnt have sped and was stupid now I think about it but sometimes in those situations the blood rushes to your head..whats funny is my mother had been waiting 10minutes for a cop car to arrive.. I got pulled up just around the corner from the accident by a copper sitting there with a radar gun..

As far as the hoon hotline goes it won't work its a bit like the epa hotline.. I have a friend of a friend who has been reported to the epa 3 times for littering all 3 times he has successfully defended himself in court by saying it was mates playing a prank..

Here here, and extra Police are for crime BS TMU = Revenue raising

i was driving around the block in my mates area a few times coz i just had the new clutch put in was trying it out.. wasnt speeding i dont think just trying to get used to the clutch, and i couldve sworn sum guy was calling the cops and reporting my plates just because of the BOV sound he was probably reporting me as hooning! We'll he was on the phone and he was staring my car down then as i went past him was walking onto the middle of the road while on the phone and looking at the back of my car so im guessing he reported my plates? 2 months or so late havent heard anything =]

But this anti-hoon line is gonna be stupid everyones gonna dobb in everyone they dont like

i can see people ringing just for the sack of getting the cops onto the neighbours..

was at a mates house when another mate turned up, had his car idling for a bit to cool down and was checking a couple things under the bonnet, when a neighbour comes out screaming and shouting, telling him off for "hooning". The car was idling, I don't know how that can be hooning..

f*kn dickheads man......man i hate the fact that my car sits in a mech shop for 4months, and by the time i get it back theyll ban skylines all together...

dont complain. Iv been waiting 4 months for a car to get here and when it finally does its been stripped

they cant do you over on the word of another citizen.... even when a cop pulls you over with a radar gun they have to SHOW you the reading if you ask...

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
