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.

+1

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:

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...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
