A case was thrown out of court not all that long ago from the hoon laws so the person did not lose his licence as well as have his car impounded. There is a loop hole.

Read the Aust. constitution or PM me and I will tell you how to get around it. Don't really want to go posting it here :P

Sorry r32 chick nothing to hide!

Dan as wat i got,

basically it is against the Australian Constitution to penalise someone for the same crime twice eg. you robbed the shop, they can't sentence you twice for robbing that shop once.

It is the same with the hoon law, if your car has already been confiscated before going to court, you have already been sentenced. The police played judge, jury and executioner. Word it well and get the exact codes etc. for it from the Australian Constitution and tell the judge he can't take your licence basically as you have already had your car taken therefore served your sentence.

A case was thrown out last year based on exactly this.

I don't know the exact codes but if you ever got busted it could save your licence!

I find the easiest way not to get hoon lawed is to not break the law.. seriously how hard is it? If you get caught doing 20/30+ over the speed limit then you have to take responsibility for your actions, not get all up in arms about how you've been hard done by. Sure there may be exceptions and labeling a certain demographic 'hoons' whilst older drivers escape yellow stickers and biased media articles isn't right, the majority of people here know right from wrong, so it really seems like a non-issue to me.

Why is every one so worried about these laws? Very similar to the uproar caused by people getting busted for drugs etc at summerdayze then complaining the police presence was over the top. The only people complaining about the police are the ones carrying!

There is the potential to get reamed for something you didn't do just because you fit a certain demographic. THAT is what people are up in arms about.

+1

would you like to be pulled over and the cop says

Sorry you got a import i need to check your car ( hoon) and gives you a yellow for doing nothing ?

Thats the other side

Fair enough, that's the exception I was talking about then. I've never been treated unfairly by the police so I haven't had to worry about it. I still believe there's a reason why people get stickered for 'no reason', much like some people seem to have a lot of accidents that aren't their fault.

Hey Dan, it was a friends son. This guy knows the Australian Constitution off the top of his head, nothing can go against it. The only way to change the constitution is through a bill, I am pretty certain they will never change that one.

Even Local Councils are against the Constitution, said friend doesn't pay and hasn't paid rates for years. Yes the Council took him to court, he said his case and said that should they pursue it he will make it very public. They dropped it. I can go on for ages about it, remind me next time I see ya.

This guy is even a retired police officer, a very smart man.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
