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?

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
