what do you all think of this new drug tester that all the cops are floggin off over ...

I hope it never hits the roads like previous models they have had.

I mean it might not affect everyone but it will affect me and if they ever ask me to chew on the tester thingy i will tell them exactly where they can insert that tester ...

I reckon that it wont be used because it would take extensive cross testing to see if anything gives faulse readings like some cough mixtures and sudafed that contain pseudoephedrine which is a main chemical that is used im amphetamines..

hmmm ..depends, they said it would only pickup certain types of drugs. So i doubt it would pick up dope or something like that?

They say you have to suck on the stick thing for like 1-3 minutes, so i doubt they're going to use it that much because of the time it would take and the holdup to traffic. So I can only see them using it if they thought you had the obvious signs of being on some type of drug.

ppl shouldn't be driving on drugs anyhow if u ask me. I'm not sure whether i believe the statistics (as always) but they say i think it was 30% of people involved in fatal accidents have drugs in their system.

If you ask me, most of the problem coming home from those things is the tiredness of dancing for 10 hours straight or something.. and then coming down and fatigue finally hitting you, not the drugs themselves. And considering their is no "fatigue tester" then i don't see it doing much difference.

Problem with truckies is that as much of it is to meet stupid deadlines and push more crap thru to make more money and stay awake. All they'll do is come up with a masking agent or something or just change the drugs. That area of elicit drugs is pretty organised.

I think in reality, drug testing can never really do too much - just like in sport whereas the drug manufacturers are always 2 steps ahead of the testing.

another question this tester raises.....dope stays in your system for ages......what happens if you smoke a jay the day/night before the day you are going for a drive and get tested?? Tech speaking you are not under the influence but it may still be in your system.....

I dont think the local dealer around the clubs could give a toss if its detectable, so I think that the 2 steps ahead thing doesnt apply in this case...

If you take any sort of drugs, first off your a tool, second of all you are in no shape to be driving!!

** Note... I had a friend die through drug related causes when I was younger so im very much against drug use.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
