he is around the $250/hr mark but when you win you will be able to go for cost's

Matthew Mitchell soliciters on Prospect Road have helped me a couple times when I was younger ;P

They didnt charge me that much either. Good guys

-D

im just throwing this out there but i would of thought that its the manufacturer that decides how large they want there wheels to be not some ADR thats why there's a tyre placard

i too did, but apparently not. all parts obviously need to be engineered, but even so i think there are certain guidelines they must stick within, regardless of whether it has been engineered or not. well in SA at least, over here it doesnt mean shit if things are engineered.

Its interesting when u consider age and asking Price. You can get a "mint" 88 / 89 r31 for around about $2k, however, if you add on 2 years and get a "mint" r32 1990 w/e you'll be looking at $7k+ Correct me if im wrong :P

Honestly though, when you consider what most of us import drivers have under the bonnet, its somewhat more lethal then allot of the wrecks you see driving around. The old wrecks cant accelerate to 100km p/h in a few seconds, where as we can, and in those few seconds, make a fatal mistake. The road is for driving, keep the nonsense to the track and ur neighbors front lawn.

not to mention the whole brand new model and supreme just about everything. just because a car was sold a year before doesnt mean it is only a year older technology wise.

no, it takes them another few seconds, whats a few seconds in acceleration compared to shitty brakes, suspension and generally not suited to higher speeds?

Hey Dohmar, looks like uv done this before.

Yea my car was parked on my lawn. I was thinking that he couldnt defect a vehicle that is parked on my property, are you absuloutely certain of this? I am def considering contesting it now. cheers for your suggestions.

this is bullshit, you were well within your rights to tell the officer to get off your property, there not aloud to touch a vehicle on private proprty like that unless there is a warrent or it is a place of business if i remember correctly.....

get a decent lawyer and fight it out then go for damages, cause that cop knows he was in the wrong and if you come correct in a court of law you will be sweet

Many years ago, I was at a party with some mates and a friend informed us all that there was a cop out the front looking over my mates SLR5000. The SLR was parked in the driveway, locked up and secured. The cop asked who owned the car. My mate Cameron came forward as the owner and opened the car on demand (the cop believed there to be a 'firearm' inside the car). The cop went thru the car and ended up defecting it. This SLR was absolutely stock ... totally stock. Got him (after many failed attempts) for something stupid as a 'possible' fray in the seat belt (all the belts where less than 12 months old from a recent restoration).

My mate went to the local cop shop the next day and had the defect lifted without fee or inspection. The cop had NO RIGHT to defect a stationary vehicle on private property at their own private address.

:D

I had a similar situation last year. Parked my bike at a mate's workshop. Went across the street to get food. Cop comes inside asking who the owner of the bike was. I said it was me, why? They wanted to see me about something about the bike. I told them nice try, but maybe later, go find some crooks. They huffed and puffed a bit, but left it. I followed it up with reporting them (got the police rego number at least) thru the relevant channels. Don't know if anything became of it, but at least they didn't get to taint my ride. :P

im pretty sure they can do you if its at a "workshop", they raided a friend of mines shop and couldnt do shit cause not one car in there was registered or had been for quite some time lol

but if its unregistered, how can they prove it is being driven? it might have been at the workshop, ran out of rego, then left there

Or towed on a flatbed trailer for that matter...

Private property is private property. If your vehicle or anything else for that matter, is within the boundary of the property as defined by the council and their surveyors, you're well within your rights to deny entry and co-operation. If they want to get a search warrant, they can try, but you generally need a good reason to get one...

-D

If the vehicle is registered, it must comply - it doesn't matter if it's in pieces, they can defect it so the car has to be inspected before going back on the road.

If the car was in a driveway - but not at the owner's address, then an officer can reasonably assume it is going to be driven.

The biggest problem with the entire system is that only reasonable suspicion is required for a defect.

The onus is on the vehicle owner to prove compliance, rather than the authority to prove non-compliance.

This of course leaves the system open to both interpretation, and abuse.

^^^ Couldn't have put that better myself :)

a mate was driving his car like a hoon up my street, the cops came and took care of it, but kept going up and down before they pulled up the front of my house. they got out and one of the coppers(who i know pretty well) told me he seen my 4wd driving through scrub land around town, i said no it wasn't me and have a good look at the 4bie. the 4wd had no windows no tray no doors.no bonnet and no interior. he turned aorund and said well i seen those tyre marks everywhere, and i laughed and said now scotty go back to the office mate cause this car hasn't moved in 3 months. he said he was going to have to investigate, i laughed. sorry to highjack a bit but it was funny as.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
