And the alternative is? Colin Barnett? lulz.

There never seems to be a good alternative.

I dont know want barnets policy's are but they did mention on the news he is claiming to make large tax deductions, sounds better then Carpenter increasing teacher salaries and creating railways that will never effect me. Not to mention Carpenter in control will = big trouble for performance drivers.

Neither, I'll just cast another donkey vote... like what I have being doing ever since I started voting.

They really should make voting optional rather than compulsory.

The other party is no different, in fact wasn't the opposition the 1st one to bring forward the idea for this ban (after that 180 crash)? However I read from the paper that they say their ban will be based on kw/weight ratio rather than straight all v8/turbo/supercharger.

Neither way, I'm only going to the election coz I don't want to get fined.

"Mr Cowper said the Liberal Party would push for the regulation change as part of their campaign for the upcoming State Election."

Hmmm...

Left of centre policies... Confiscation of personal property by the central government.. Draconian and unjustified law-making.... False, biased and totally unsubstantiated propaganda in order to instill fear into the hearts of the voting masses, labour (unionist) parties at both federal and state levels, not to mention the deputy PD is a ginger... Anybody sense the red mist descenting over our country???

Sounds like we are heading for this...

Be afraid be very afraid...

Better dead than red!

Ok i know nothing about politics clearly i will shut up.

Donkey it is

how much do u get fined if u dont go vote @_@

$20, in the last election, my mum was in New Castle & she was working all day so she cbf to go & couple of month later we got a $20 fine.

Funny thing is, she doesn't plan on going to this up coming one neither :P , shes got a full shift on Saturday @ the hospital; she rather get fined $20 then miss work where she's getting paid 1.5x than normal.

Donkey it is

Thats the way, join the "Donkey" brotherhood :D

Oh god... I though Chairsniffer troy was bad enough...

And the alternative is? Colin Barnett? lulz.

Btw, can he ban (by that I mean put them on a strict probation) old people driving while he's at it... Today right in front of me an old lady went straight through a red light ( and I mean it was red, like had been red for a minute and other cars were stopped) and the guy going through the green light almost T-boned her if he had not have been quick on the brakes...

i seriously doubt its going to happen because it affects them all(the old coots and the government) directly and it will then be seen as unfair and wrong. its because they are so experienced that they hit the accelertaor no the brakes.

Not if you already have the turbo registered in your name before the laws come in, that's the only way around it.

For those talking about donkey votes.. You do realise they go to whoever is in power at the time, right?

It is - you don't enroll = you don't have to go vote.

Haven't been fined yet ..... Sure they've knocked on my door a couple of times and suggested i should enroll but meh ..... when there's a phucker worth voting for then i'll enrolll. Least i have a clear conscience that i didn't nominate any of the a55 wipes to get in.

That is all.

Alan isnt due for a re election until next year i believe, but because the liberals are in disarray he is calling for the election now. Thats is one dirty ....

Its not like those two are the only choices either so look outside the square if you care

labour for me. barnett wants to privatise the power utility (where i work) and then we can watch the power bill skyrocket more that its gunna be. im not going to vote for a party that cant decide what leader to have, and to vote for someone thats been in power a couple of weeks . suicide.

and to vote for someone thats been in power a couple of weeks.

Considering firstly he isn't even in power yet (ie: leader of the opposition), secondly, he has lead the WA libs before, he is no stranger tot he job, and thirdly, He's got years of experience in the parliment and understands the political system inside and out. Carpenter on the otherhand is a washed-up ex journo that leads a party that is essencially and utterly corrupt from the core.

John D'orazio:

In May 2006 D'Orazio was stripped of his portfolios after it was revealed that he had been driving for two months without a license after he had had a car accident in a ministerial vehicle. He had lost his licence after failing to pay several speeding fines. He was forced to resign from the Party as a result.

By August 2006, D'Orazio was caught up in a corruption investigation and had to front the Corruption and Crime Commission to explain phone calls between himself and Pasquale Minniti, who allegedly was using his influence with officers in the Western Australian Police force to have speeding fines dropped.

Brian Burke:

Brian 'Mr essencially corrupt ex-premier' Burke

Ljiljanna Ravlich:

When the Gallop Labour government was elected in 2001, she served as a parliamentary secretary until 2005, when she was appointed as Local Government Minister. Shortly afterwards she became the Minister for Education. Charged with the implementation of a controversial OBE (Outcomes Based Education) policy, she held a high-profile portfolio and received much media coverage before losing her ministerial position.

Hmm, a party with a leader that is about as robust as a bubble, a failed business man for a treasurer, a former minister of education that did everything in her power to impose upon the education system, a new means of grading students that proved vastly unpopular with both parents and teachers. At the point where OBE finally came into force, it was withdrawn under immense public pressure. We had an ex-minister for police that engadged in corrupt dealings with a disgraced ex-premier and also was shown to be a complete hypocrite by holding the police and justice porfolio whilst cruising the streets of Perth, in a tax payer funded vehicle, without a valid drivers license... That is just the tip of the iceburg... Give me Colin's Kimberley Canal anyday...

i agree that p platers should learn to drive properly before being put behind a high powered car. But more importantly, driving is a privelage and i believe its not just high powered cars that is the problem. I think p platers are not getting adequate training before being let onto the roads. And i dont mean that the tests are not harsh enough as they are. But maybe make a program compulsory that is run by the governemnt a step in the whole process of getting your licence prior to receiving it. Ensuring adequate training is more vital.

You can give anyone any car and they can hoon in it. Yes, high powered cars make it easier to hoon but if a person has been trained in most emergency situations they can drive anything within reason. I can say when i got my licence, i hadnt even encountered or talked about the many situations you can get into in everyday driving and maybe its more education that the public needs than just harsh laws.

Just my two cents.

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
