Just as bad as getting a ticket for having a For Sale sign on your car - classed as a Movable Sign? What about those cars with company logos?

Governments and Councils have gone mad!

if you read it closely they only know the car was photographed with wedding ribbons on so incase it was getting used for profit or as a unregistored business they have sent a letter, if it was a case of just helping out family or a friend then that is fine

Not sure I believe that. Sounds like they're backpedalling with a piss weak excuse.

I'd like to see a copy of the formal letter they're sending, just to clarify. But if it is how it sounds, they really do need to get a fkn life!

Its all crap. They have to rewrite the whole act.

According to the act and the transport minister if you drive from here to melb with a mate and you split the cost of fuel then you can get charged.

GG gov.

Australian laws regarding vehicles have to be the bloody worst in the world.

Our government is full of tight ass f**k heads that will fine you for anything now.

Every other country seems to be so relaxed about vehicle laws, I don't get why this country makes a car owner feel like a damn murderer.

I swear to god I could cut my neighbours head off with a kitchen knife and face less penalty than if I went onto a main intersection of the town and did one donut at 1am.

What a joke!!! that is so stupid, believe the government I think the government is broke because they are doing anything they can to squeeze money out of people now. What pathetic excuse to get money. I pick up my friends parents and my friend all the time does that mean I am running a transport passenger service. Man the government is losing the plot!!!!!!

Reminds me of the new outdoor drinking laws where a guy was drinking outside a licenced premises in Rundle Street.

He was sitting down and drinking a beer but when he stood up, a cop passing by booked him because he was still holding the glass.

Cop told him the glass must remain on the table when you're not seated...........well how do you get the glass of beer out there in the first place then???? ;)

lol read the lame excuse given by the Minister for Transport..."This is just really about ensuring public safety if some of these vehicles are going out, [ensuring] that some of these vehicles are roadworthy."

Uh huh, so using them for a wedding means they're somehow more unroadworthy than other cars on the road??

I swear to god I could cut my neighbours head off with a kitchen knife and face less penalty than if I went onto a main intersection of the town and did one donut at 1am.

+1 Its friggin stoopid, Australian road laws are so unbalanced im suprised you cant get a fine for farting in your car with the windows down. At this rate maybe its the next thing on the list.

As for cutting your neighbours head off, you dont get demerit ponts for that. ;)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
