they're still trying to get anyone for anything.

I still don't get how its illegal after all it states that only if its permanently locked it is dangerous...

As your one isn't i would just contest that in court, backed up with a few letters maybe not just one.

I got something rather amusing in the mail today

"Notice to person permitted to go at large without bail"

It goes on to say the offence is "modification of vehicle parts or equipment affecting saftey. Act/legislation: Transport operations (RUM - VEH Stand.) Reg 1999 Section 6(1)(B).

So I went and looked that up at http://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/LEGISLTN...tOpRUVSSR99.pdf

It says, "(1) A motor vehicle, other than an articulated bus, must have

only—(a) 1 axle group, or single axle, towards the front of the

vehicle; and

(b) 1 axle group, or single axle, towards the rear of the

vehicle.

LOL... Im sorry but what about my diff? I've looked through the rest of the act and it mentions nothing about diffs. amusing.

Unfortunately....I think this is the section you might actually be looking for in there...

6 Modifying vehicle

(1) A person must not—

(a) modify a vehicle chassis; or

(b) modify a vehicle, its parts or equipment in a way that

adversely affects the safety of the vehicle.

Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

Expect the copper who booked you to come in saying you said this or that when you didn't thats all i have to add to this.

Yeah, I do expect that to happen. I have a witness to the whole conversation though so I'm not too worried about that.

Hm... I don't think family can be a witness but hey, I aint a lawyer

Don't know why they couldn't be. I think family can choose not to provide evidence against you as a witness? But then they get into a bit of shit as well.

whens your court date??

4th of November, 9:30am. Bad enough taking me to court but making me wake up early on a day off work!!!! bastards!

Yeah I've got a lawyer. It would be retarded to attempt to go to court by myself for this.

When I come to power thou shalt be avenged!!!!!

:)

Seriously mate good luck. I hate to see good people pay whilst scumbags sit and grow fatter off our tax dollars........... The unfortunate fact is that busting "hoons" makes headlines due to stupid dunnydore drivers and we fill in the numbers game that win votes come election time... Cleaning up the streets of people like you is obviously a higher priority than getting rid of the badguys who sell drugs to kids :blink:

Correct me if I'm wrong people.

I agree. If you were drifting through a school zone at 3:00pm then I would be the first to hold you while they bend you over lol :laughing-smiley-014: but just driving into a carpark and getting picked for this is garbage :) .

Best of luck TOMMAH and keep us posted as we all love it when someone is trying to beat the system :D .

you are one of many unlucky ppl who are targeted by the police

their agenda is to get you once for the following reasons

wake up call to scare you or make life difficult

be on their books so any future infringments can be escalated

raise revenue

justify their existance

when you go to court bring all the information you can about your case....

back it up with receipts and mechanic statments...

state that it was preventative maintenance to enhance saftey and NOT contrary to the law

have a plan of attack against the charges worked out by you and your lawyer.

hope this helps

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
