If anyone watched last night's news... basically any cars over 10 years old are declared belong to the junkyard.

This includes all:

Any Pre R32 Skylines (DR30, R31, etc)

R32 Skyline Gts-t, GTS, GTS4, GTR

R33 Skyline Gts-t, GTS, GTS4, GTR

R34 Skyline GTT & GTR 1999 models

The catch is if you wreck your piece of junk Skyline you get $3000 incentive to update it with a newer car...

The aim is to reduce the number of gas guzzling old cars on our road.

I think it's a good idea......

PS: I'm just stirring up some shit...

good idea i own a 1971 ford gtho phase 111 id love to crush it and get $3000 towards a new car.

wow the government are so awsome and smart lol. ( my whole statement is sarcastic).

honestly its the stupidest thing i have ever heard, you cant get rid of all the classic cars out there.

also $3000 isnt going to help much for a new car either, unless i have a real bomb that doesn't run then i could get the money and buy another bomb that does drive. :P

edit: my car is still safe for one more year lol.

the car only gets crushed if the owner wants it too.. classic and desirable cars are still safe, as long as they arent owned by retards.

I think its a pretty good idea. except every flamin mongrel selling a shit box will want 3k for it now

So potentially anyone can go into a used car yard, get 10 shitboxes worth $700 each, even if he had to register them for $500 a car, at $1200 he will make $1800 each x 10 shitboxes = $18,000 when he surrendered them to government to be squashed...

what an awesome idea...

first the $900 K-Rudd package (anyone got them yet?)

now the $3k stimulus to help save the auto industry sell their overstocked new cars...

What next???

a $50,000 tax-free job-stimulus for anyone willing to be a good Samaritan and give up / quit their job so the company can hire one of hundreds of jobless out there who are still jobless?

I wish I was paid to think of amazing ideas like this! I would be rolling in it! :P

I would like to know why the term "gas guzzling old cars" was used. I mean by all means remove old, unroadworthy cars off the street, but I'll eat all my items of clothing when a 10 year old Corolla "guzzles more gas" than something along the lines of a brand new Commodore SS.

pretty sure they'd have something in place so people cant just sell heaps of old cars and make money, but it will also stop people buying old shit boxes, as if your going to pay 3k for something worth 1k, i think they have something along the same lines in japan <-- could be wrong on that one

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
