lol Rhys i hope you are joking about the magistrate comment, they are the ones letting off these repeat offenders with warnings, following the news lately theres only been 1 story about a magistrate who handed out a fair decision.

the magistrate can only do what the laws allow them, the legal process is a bitch and you cant make decisions based on gut feelings, you have to follow the letter of the law and if the accuses has a good lawyer then there is only so much you can do in certain sittuations.....

where as a cop follows there gut feelings, they see a skyline and there gut feeling is that they can defect it easily and you have no legal representation to defend yourself as the laws have been molested to the point where a cop can defect a brand new car

But if you take away those laws, and make things more lenient, the over 30's get angry that the hoon laws aren't enforced enough, and they are the ones who vote! every cause has an effect

and thus is the problem with australia.............we are slowly becoming a nanny country thanks to our aged population and tightning government controll :bunny:

in a perfect world, youd be right, rhys.

but last i checked, its far from a perfect world. a magistrate at the end of the day is just like you and me, they get scared, they get cocky, they get bored, they get intimidated.

they get greedy.

*shrug*

lol i try be a bit more positive about it but i fear your right :bunny:

Oh and Craig, you have seen me, if i caught someone trying to steal my car, id lose the fight, so why bother. I try my very hardest to keep my car out of situations where it could be stolen, like at home, my car is alarmed and immobilised in front of my mums astra, which is in front of a locked roller door, with my dads toyota hilux behind it, and a big f**k off heavy double locked sliding gate out the front.

Get a big dog. A HUGE dog. And don't feed it much. PERFECT security, until a mailman comes to the door....

"BUCK! Put that mailman down now!!"

OMNOMNOMNOM

"DROP! DROP THE MAILMAN!"

*whimper*

-D

you can pick a cop hater a mile away, i love how no one ever says anything about good cops, but theres a 20 page discussion if a thread comes up about a cop being an ass. A cop is just the first step, if they get caught, they go before a magistrate, but you don't hear anyone bagging out magistrates for their poor sentences. I agree that the police are unfair at times, ill be the first to admit that. And effort is rarely shown at the scene of an attempted car theft, such as not taking prints or following up. The sad thing is, there are SOOOO many car jackings/ attempted thefts in Adelaide, if the police spent all their time tracking them all down, people would whinge about police not out on the beat in public area, or not arresting real criminals.

my 9 yen.

most sense made in this thread so far

i think the magistrate are very fair and reasnoble :), its the laws behind them that need to be changed

im gonna stick by street justice cause i know the police wont do anything..........even if they manage to catch the people its a slap on the wrist. so id rather slap em around a lil and send them on there way :)

*cough*

yes that is true but there are minimums and maximums that they can give, and a lot of the time they dont even give minimums

i think the level of "bias" at magistrate level is ALOT less than your average coppa

where are you living man, its clearly not in our society

and thus is the problem with australia.............we are slowly becoming a nanny country thanks to our aged population and tightning government controll :)

um the problem with Australia and not having renewable population is WE KEEP KILLING OUR CHILDREN

very true and magistrate can be swayed by all mannor of things if they had a fight with the wife the night before, there child from interstate is coming back for christmas, one of the other magi's touched them up in the locker room you get my drift large papers bags full of other paper products

do a search on what "truth in sentencing" is all about.

Ask any cop about the frustrations of finding a crook, risking his life in some cases to capture him, then get him to court where a Supreme or High Court Justice gives him a little slap with a fraction of a precedent sentence which he'll serve less than half the time..........all in the name of rehabilitation.

I recently spent a week in Melbourne did a fair bit of driving.

Here in Adelaide there are a hell of a lot more police patrolling the streets compared to Melbourne.

One thing that was interesting.. Almost no imports over there. Here in Adelaide you see an import be it Nissan or Toyota in almost every pack of cars at the lights.

I guess they are all at local drag STRIPSSSS with a big plural S!!! or the local track. :)

what part of melbourne where u in?? my old man is over there on a weekly basis and says he see's nuthing but very hot modified skylines/wrx's/evo's etc.....and this is a 50yr old bloke spotting these cars lol

Heart of the city and a few mins out at Coburg.

They were about but nothing like here in Adelaide.

i agree, when i was over there i hardly saw a stock import let alone a modded one :)

but that was in the actual city no where outside of it

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
