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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
