The things covered under "Hoon'' Laws. The main thing is Improper Use of a Motor Vehicle which is classified as driving a motor vehicle in a manner which intentionally causes the vehicle to undergo a loss of traction by one or more wheels.

Relevant offences are:

-Drive whilst disqualified/suspended with prior conviction for that offence committed after 1st July 2007

-Manner/Speed dangerous involving improper use of a vehicle.

-Careless Driving involving improper use of a vehicle.

-Improper use of motor vehicle.

-Organising, managing or engaging in a race or speed trial without authorisation. (Street race)

-Exceed speed limit by 45 km/h or more.

-Travel at 145 km/h or more in 110 km/h zone.

-Undue noise and smoke involving improper use of a vehicle.

-Fail to have full control of vehicle involving improper use of a vehicle.

There is the list for you, pretty obvious things obviously aimed at people doing burnouts/fish tailing. If you are stupid enough to do any of the above and get caught I don't see how you can be upset having your vehicle seized.

what classifies inproper use of motor viehcle.....

-- putting to much firewood in the boot.....

-- steering whith one hand instead of 2.....

-- not moving away from traffic lights fast enough to encourage flow of traffic.....

this list could go on... they have made this so broad that it covers anyone and everyone....

officer says:- you spilled your drink in car..... im taking it off you.

driver says:- Why it was only coke......

officer says:- you cant use your car like a Pub Bar or kitchen table..... im taking it under the hoon infringement of Improper use of motor vehicle.......

so people be prepaird to take it in the ass from police if you have dont the wrong thing or not.

Redback I explained the exact wording above in relation to improper use and it's alot of work for police to impound vehicle so unless serious driving offeces as above list have occurred then vehicle would not be impounded. It's poor attitude towards police like yours that make yourselves targets.

im not a target... i go out of my way to do the right thing... you havent explained anythign accorfing to your post... i read it as the list of things that could be charged against you as a hoon... and i know i exagerated but the term inproper use of a motor viehcle can mean many things.

liek i said.. i aint a target... are you implying that everyone with a comment is a hoon..... and the term you use "yourselves" comes accross as well....... ill let others decide.

Are you a police officer...? comments about the amount of work involved should only be valid if you are.. nearly every police officer i know will do there best to impress supremes and move further with there career.... you do get "nice" cops... nice cops aint correctly doing there job... they should never let you off the hook... police descression comes down to personality.... there for once in court becomes invalid.... ... nice cops are champs....... and cops are...... well.... cops.....

So.. In that case, why don't they just impound every other bloody driver in the country?

fkn idiots.

Yes I am a police officer so I can comment on how much work is involved. In many instances we have tried to impound vehicles and our area supervisors S/SGT's don't allow it unless they decided the offense involved is serious enough. To impond a vehicle will take us about 4-5 hours work with paperwork, processing offender waiting for tows and putting brief of evidence together for court. Not including court time so it's not something done lightly.

Impounding vehicles would only help your career if you want to move to TMU which about 99% of members have NO interest in. Otherwise I could issue you with fines, NOU or EPA which would cost the offender more money and time and only take 15 minutes for me.

I have given plenty of advice to numerous members on here in relation to police matters and don't go out of my way to give people hard time for minimal issues.

I have only impounded one vehicle which was do 70Kmh over speed limit and was a drink driver is that dangerous or serious enough to agree with impounding for you or was I been too harsh.

Police do read these forums as you should be aware and I only warned that comments bagging police will only make SAU members appear to be anti police and be more of a target. I have worked hard in my area in bridging the gap between police and car enthusiasts and as many on here have been pulled over by me know that.

Redback I explained the exact wording above in relation to improper use and it's alot of work for police to impound vehicle so unless serious driving offeces as above list have occurred then vehicle would not be impounded. It's poor attitude towards police like yours that make yourselves targets.

i noticed a previous thread of yours suggests your a cop...... if thats the case explain the term "yourselves....." and the reason you used it with the description of hoon in realation to a comment made... stating were a target of hooning..... actually why am i a target of hooning.... or how do we make targets of ourselves by making simple comments regarding the Legislation.... seems to me you like the power trip of being able to make a target of anyone you like as i said in my first post.... thanks for proving my point.

and as for my poor attitude... you dont know me... or 99.9% of the people on here...

edit: Explain himself during my slow typing..... ignore

Edited by Redback

yes we are car enthusiats... shouldnt we be able to express our selves in regards to Driving and what and what doesnt effect us.... you post reminding us that the cops read this forum isnt a scare tactic to stop us (mainly myself) is it?

the forum as ive been told by exec before has no affiliation with SAU (dont know how it cant)... the forum is a good spot to express concerns... its safe... behind my desk.... theres no way you would even listen to the second line of my concerns on the street... well maybe not you personally but a majority of police

anyway ive had my rant for this week... but im back on monday :P

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
