I have heard today that now cars can be impounded and penalty notice issued to driver. Previously my knowledge was that if a car was impounded driver was to be charged with relevent offence and brought before a court.

I heard this was to increase impound levels and speed up the process and clear courts up. If this is true I would expect a dramatic increase in impounds as all the work for police done at time, Compared to having to compile brief of evidence to court.

I think that is only related to the hoon law... if someone get caught hooning: burning tyres, drifting, excessive speed etc...

first offence car will be impounded for 24 hours, 2nd offence I think is a few days, 3rd offence car will be impounded forever, or crushed under the metal crusher...

nothing to do with increasing impound level. the driver is still gonna get a fine in the mail and still possibly go to court depending the severity of the offense.

hoon law has been around quite a number of years now, and many repeat offenders have had their cars crushed.

Oh dear... this will certainly make things a bit more ridiculous.

But honestly - not surprising. Once the laws are in, they always screw down harder and harder.

Politicians and chiefs... who needs em sometimes - bad bad decision

A friend of mine had his car impounded about 6 months ago, he got a fine on the spot and had to go to court as well.

time to put some blocks behind the loud pedal. . . .then there is no chance of being what the cops see as a 'hoon'

or buy an car with automatic gearbox and install a rev limiter set at 3000rpm..... the most you'll do in most cars with that rev is 110km/h on the freeway...

get a pushbike then... how fast can you go on that thing before falling over? :-)

A guy at Uni told me his friend got warned by a cop for riding his push bike too fast. So push bikes aren't completely immune from the might of the hoon laws :happy:

My mate got a $325 fine for exceeding the spedlimit on his pushbike, road rules still apply.

Also: Not one car has been crushed in Australia yet, I challenge someone to find one.....

With the government implementing 30km/h zones, shouldn't be that hard to exceed the limit with a good race push bike.

But how are you suppose to keep track of your speed on a push bike? Do the new ones come with speedos now?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
