So they are gonna make money out of it?? :down:

Well more cheap parts for us I guess... :)

Already started is it? Ken is at it again..

Commodore got done

post-1327-1280295328_thumb.jpg

Seen a show on Foxtel which had cars in America which were crushed, made Mark cry seeing some old school muscle as well as Euro and Jap cars being crushed, they didnt even remove a thing, painfull to watch.

Ok, let me get this straight,

Deputy Commissioner Ken Lay said cars that had an acceptable safety rating would be sold rather than crushed.

"If we permanently seize a vehicle that is not of a high safety standard, in that it doesn't have features such as ABS brakes and airbags, I cannot, in good conscience, send that vehicle back into the community," Mr Lay said.

The car that is crushed, it's a VT Commodore and last time I checked, they have dual airbag and ABS.

Am I missing something there?

They had a single airbag didn't they? And if he's taken out the airbag and replaced with a SC Auto spec wheel that would explain them not bothering to get the thing in roadworthy condition for sale...

Cars should be sold to wreckers and listed as write offs, not crushed. Crushing is just a vindictive waste of time. Doesn't get done to drunk drivers' cars, but that's because their cars aren't really a pride and joy to be stomped on...very immature solution.

Hahaha another well thought out strategy...

Solution:

Cars that are owned by third parties, such as a bank, will be sold to cover the debt with the remainder going to victims of road trauma.

Get a loan for your car with the slowest repayments possible, that way they you only loose the amount you have paid off the loan!

If its just an unoptioned Executive its got a Drivers Airbag and IRS. Fully optioned series 2 Berlina has dual airbags, side airbags, traction control.

I completely agree they shouldnt be crushed its a pointless waste of time and money for what is in essence a publicity stunt. People could use the panels off these crashed cars to repair their cars in the future and in the words of an enviromentalist "Keep old cars on the road for longer because it does less enviromental damage than making a new one". Just sell them to the wreckers like you say, make some cash and it helps everyone in the community with an influx of cheap parts.

Exactly, the only people that get done the third time have a piece of crap car and dont care about it. Tell me if you had a 100k GTR you wouldnt just put it in the garage after the second time. Go out and buy a piece of crap, get caught hoon driving in it and gladly hand the keys over.

Does it reset after the third time? Then bring out 100k+ GTR :down:

if i ever have them try to come and crush my car (very unlikely never lost any points etc) - there will be a huge car chase on the news where i attempt to drive from aus to another country - HMAS SKYLINE SETS SAIL!

Thats exactly what happened to the first guy that got done in QLD. He booted off from the cops, stripped the car to a shell and put it on his front lawn for the cops to collect.

I'm pretty sure they have dual airbags and ABS - my older brother had one years ago, it was early model Executive btw.

i wrecken they just wanted to set an example of what they going to do...even if it meant it was reasonable to crush this guys car or not...But clearly it not going to stop anyone doing stupid things on the road...people who care about their car will play smart and take their car to the track..and for those who dont care will keep hooning with what ever car they got....

Good comment at the bottom of the article:

"They should do the same for unlicensed cars or drivers."

These unlicensed drivers are not covered by any insurance if something was to happen. The police are getting too emotional about the whole thing, they need someone with a level head.

they cant get a level head..thats why they trying stuff that will never work to make the roads safer....i got this defensive drivers thing from work....went to it and i learnt so much about safe driving that i wish i learnt it before i got my P's...not while driving on my P's...that kind of thing should be cheaper and compulsary for kids on their L's so when they on the roads alone, they will think twice before doing anything stupid...THAT SORT of actions should be taken to make the roads safer NOT by crushing cars....Well thats what i think...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
