Heh, the main "dobber" on that website averages over 16 "dobs" a day. Reckon he just drives around with a note pad and pen looking for the slightest misdemeanor?

Chump probably thinks he deserves a medal or something.

I too am interested if this list really exists as my car is also supposedly on the system.

Here is my totally awesome story...

I was driving behind a taxi in the right lane on King st one night. This idiot taxi driver not only drove at 30kph in a 50 zone, but he kept pressing his brakes at every U-turn section (I thought he would eventually make a turn - he didn't);

so at the next set of lights I decided to jump on the left side and overtake him... Up ahead, there was another car double parked in my lane so this meant I had to get in front of this taxi.

I figured he drives slow so I don't have to punt it too hard when the lights go green. After they changed, I take off and this taxi driver (out of the blue) decides to actually put his foot down. I thought, "f**k this, he's not getting in front again" so I plant it, get safely ahead (without going over 60 as it was now a 60 zone), chuck my right indicator on and make the transition into the right lane.

Next thing I know, cops are behind me with their lights on. I pull over and after a bit of a pep talk, I am told that my car is on the "hoon" database for drag-racing and will remain on it for 12 months. I didn't argue as they hadn't given me a fine...

Actually, I just checked my car's plate on that hoon database website and it says that my car has a clean record.

Does this mean that the police record is a separate database from this one?

I highly doubt police records like that are publicly avaliable.

I will upset a few of my colleagues but there is NO "Hoon" list or Black flagging number plates. What we can do is a Field Contact on a Car and that would register everytime the car is checked. If someone could be bothered doing that as it takes about 15 minutes of paperwork then your car would be linked to the behaviour you were doing at the time you were intercepted. This is mainly done for crooks hanging around certain area's, people somking marijuana in their car etc.

I don't know wnyone that has done one for driving matters but I guess it could be done if ongoing "hoon" behaviours at certain location/times and you are checked there.

Hope this helps.

Could you confirm what the police do with photos they take of your car? Is it evidence to support claims of parts being on a car when they issue a defect notice and fine?

PS. this doesn't relate to me.

I've been in cars when they've been defected and they've had photos taken of various parts on their car. I wasn't fined or defected, but photos were taken of my engine bay going back along time ago by a police officer. I always wondered what exactly they planned to use them for.

However once you hand over that bit of plastic and they bring up your record... they can see the history on that can't they Graeme?

I recall an officer making a point of saying to me that he knows i'd been pulled over twice already that week (which i had been)... maybe he was guessing? :D

Our records show when your vehicle was checked and by whom. It doesn't say as to the reason for it being checked. Once we check your D/L it will show driving history for example charges, fines demerit points etc doesn't go into much detail though just the basic fine/charge not the circumstances or anything like that.

Hope that helps

I take it that number is how many "offenses" they have dobbed people in for... The Uralla9 bloke really needs to get a life, he's wayyy ahead of no. 2.

You reckon if i was....

Speeding excessively in my defective or dangerous vehicle with my fog lights on while there was no fog or rain at the same time continuing to talk on my mobile phone when tailgating another driver whilst not indicating when changing lanes incorrectly throughout which time i was driving erratically just before i parked illegally in front of 'Uralla9'......

he would have a heart attack and die?

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
