Too true Devil but u have to consider others too. 50km/hr and my old skyline (1980 c210) feel like 120km/hr in my old supra and in a semi modded r33 u can up that by 50 more ks. So basically ure playing in a higher bracket the better car u get.

If you hit someone doing 50 its alot different from 150. Sure better brakes etc etc but accidents happen and ive been in ghost car incident before. God has a cloaking device and hes not afraid to use it.

At the end of the day i think that unless a person Attitude does not change (does not mature, or find the difference between right and wrong) nothing will change, like alot of things in life there is the good and bad people for all the good people this may make there life harder *if police target HP cars* but then again it should make it easier to catch the bad people and take them off our streets.

To me this new law is tring to do that

I like the idea, but tehn again if it will work or not is another story and we will see in the next few months

im gettin the feelin that most of us have the same opinion on this

this new laws not going to be the problem

its the fact that just like yellows and dangerous driving its left up to individual officers

having coped the usual cop v young bloke crap it scares me a little

ive got yellows and fines for sum pretty petty stuff (and sum i deserved)

i dont wanna lose the sky cause some cop thinks i took of to quick at the lites

It will be only when a 60 year old gets his/her 89 Camry impounded and goes on TT that something MAY be done.

As Colin Barnett said. It's a draconian law which, may increase the number of stolen cars and violence against police.

Why doesn't the public in WA have a voice against these wacked out ideas I'll never know!

All i gotta say is that now i'm always checking for the boys in blue.

I just wish the gov. would figure ways round the problems rather than coming up with stupid laws.

I would like to see a small dragstrip or track easily accsesible to the public..and nearby so tht if u see some1 wanting to try his stuff against urs u take it off the street and have a good clean/safe run.

Kwinana once a week is too far too little for me...

I don't know maybe there is one around and i don't even know about it?... is there!?

I think the laws are a knee-jerk, as a few other people said. I too, am scared that it's all upto "The coppers interpretation" of what hooning is.

I drive down a street at about 30km/h and just the BOV sounding quietly together with a loud exhaust is enough to get the onlookers yelling at me to slow down! It's all about perception, an older cop will think that someone is "hooning" before a younger cop will.

I've yet to meet a decent copper, however many times I try to be civil and show respect to them, I get reamed. Sorry boys, you've ruined it for yourselves!

I now take each and every infringement to court and play hardball with them, as they do to me. Tit for Tat, it's only fair.

The police have the power of autonomy in situations relating to infringements, whatever they say goes, and WE have to prove OUR innocence. That's not right, anywhere in the world.

It's a whole new can of worms being opened I see......

Kwinana is too far? meh, its not far at all, you want another small strip ? how about wannaroo? We get looked after pretty damn good as far as drag racing goes in perth any excuse for street racing that includes, there is no where to race, is just bullshit.

Maybe im just being old.

This is tough but fair legislation. It is the result of extensive consultation on the part of our Government through the establishment of an interagency working group to examine this issue.

translated: we got some angry residents, some old people and some grumpy traffic cops together, showed them videos of today tonight footage until they were frothing at the mouths, and then gave them a texta and a pad of butchers paper and let them wank on.....

what a ****ing joke.

I know I'm not far wrong. I have to run wankshops like these, and participate in them at my work. theyre a joke and theyre very dangerous.

people with no background knowledge, biased opinions and minimal education making broad sweeping generalisations, demanding theat they be given their chance to save the world and the worst part - at the end of it, when all that has been minuted is emotive claptrap, someone turns it into policy!?

the process is then made 100 times worse if there happens to be a local government politician in the room somewhere...... but that's a story for another day.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
