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.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
