ive had 7 in a rexy once. 4 back and two guys sitting on each other on the passengers. I had to do a random breath test and the constable didnt know what to do. called his superior officer over and he scratched his head for a bit then let us go. everyone had their seatbelts on even the two at the front...ha. never did anything like that again after that.

I thought that if your car was rego,d as a 5 seater you could only have 5 in the car, I was going to put a 1/2 cage in my car but was told that i would have to remove the rear seats and have the car reclassed as a 2 seater as they said it was unsafe for the passengers in the rear with the bars there.

???????????????????

Stupid laws.

Hahaha love that pic of the mini Sam ;)

I was also under the impression that if your car was rego'd as a 5 seater (or whatever) that was the most you could carry.

....*Considers turning the GTR into a maxi-taxi* :D

Im not sure if people have read it wrong but at the moment you can have 8 people in a car, as long as everyone is wearing a seat belt. Meaning 2 or 3 people per seat belt, not - all seat belts being used and then people also not wearing belts. The law will be changed by the end of the year though ive heard.

From all the articles and vision ive seen and heard, not once have they mentioned that 8 people were wearing the belts, meaning yes the other people not using the belts can be done for not wearing them, christine nixon has come out and said there is a technicality in the law saying as long as everyone is wearing a belt, it is not illegal. Not saying that if 5 people in a car are wearing a belt, 2 more can sqeeze in even if they arnt wearing one.

Just clarifying it cos the thread reads the illegal way.

LOL we were all in the car and a coper pulls up next to us at the lights.

i saw them in the side mirrors and said" EVERYONE GET THE f**k DOWN" and litterally, everyone got down.."except for those sitting in the seat with their seat belts.

i was surprised at why they didnt pull us over

I didn't know 2-door Lancers were sports cars either! Wonders will never cease.

Yeah, that pissed me off reading that. :D

In regard to the 8 people being legal.

I thought a car was licensed to carry so many people? and that was the limit? ;)

Like if you put a rear roll bar in (over the rear seats) then you can legally register it to carry only 2 people (front two) ??

EDIT: Whoops, beat me to it.

Whether it's legal or not, commen sense dictates you don't squeeze 8 people in a car without 8 seats.

I am currently involved in the care of one of the passengers. She has multiple injuries, and needs a tube down her throat on a breathing machine in intensive care. Not pretty. Be careful guys.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
