Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum and i own an R33 GTS-t.

The new laws that the transport minister Michael Daley has brought in about modifying suspension (lower/raise) are a ridiculous.

Check out this link http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,25790506-29277,00.html

It basically says that anybody who lowers/raises their car is a "hoon", which is ridiculous, and any suspension modification has to be certfied by an engineer. The transport minister says that cars that have modified suspension are a danger to everybody else on the road, which is not true unless a idiot is driving, and the same idiot is more of a danger in a car with unmodified suspension. The laws are set to take effect on 1 august 2009. As skyline owners i thought everybody should have an objection to this as i figure most of you will have lowered cars, and most of them not certified, which is the position i am in. the following link is a petition for the laws to be reconsidered.

My brother is a 4WD driver and has a raised car, and he has the same objections.

Cheers

The new rule will be impossible to enforce on cars built before 1 august 2009

Feel for the NSW boys (I live in Darwin). Goverments these days just get info from some one that doesn't know anything.

It makes me wonder what is next on the hit list, Better tyers and/ or brake pads that arn't factory.

    • 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.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • 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.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
