Saw on Ch7 the other night you guys are having your hoon laws changed from july 1 thanks to a L plater who overloaded his car.

it was said the offencices now go to the following,

first offence 30day

2nd offence 3 months

3rd offence car crushed by order of the corts

and over loading a car is a now a hoon offence (AKA more people then seat belts.

that's such a load of shit.... calling everything a "hoon" offence, any excuse to impound a car... what f**king bullshit. Impounding a car should be reserved for extreme or stupid behaviour such as excessive speed or running from cops in a chase for example, no just for having an extra person in the car (which I agree is dangerous but shouldn't warrant getting your car impounded).

talk about a f**king nanny state.

I heard about this, too. Shit is just ridiculous.

Not entirely sure how it works either. Say for example the Red P plater (who has passenger restrictions or anyone with more people than seatbelts) is overloading, gets caught, but the car is their parents'? What then? Surely they can't impound that car? :S

Or in that case is it perhaps changed to a driving suspension, or something?

But everything is just getting more and more ridiculous.

Here's the article I read

They keep squeezing and squeezing eventually something's gotta give and for some reason I highly doubt it will be the council. Something big is going to happen soon I know it, sooner or later were going to start following of footsteps of our UK brothers and of course it's only going to make them want to pull tighter on the reins not realizing they've already snapped....sigh in instances like this all I can think about is the movie V

What is wrong with this state fark me. All the deaths on the road arnt caused by 'hoons' , its all the retards out there that can't drive. All the near accidents i've almost had by people who are shit drivers, deaths from 'hoons' are minimal imo, there mostly retards dragging on princess hwy in there holdens.

If little old granny gets wheel spin in her corolla taking of from the lights in the wet will she get her car impounded lol, they really need to find other ways of making money then cracking down on a such a nonsense law.

Sure get all those dick heads in there crummy doors of the road but isnt all this a little to strict, whats all this going to achieve? All i can see happening is alot of angry people taking it out on cops.

Its getting to the point that people need to protest against this sorta shit.

I mean there are more laws by the day, yet less facilities, entry pricing that is increasing by the day.

It's a load of shit.

Not saying the Hoon laws are a bad thing, more so that anyone with a modified car is being labelled as one.

Bit extreme!! But I dont think they realise that someone who is on their second strike isnt just going to let their car go quietly!!! Wait till police and innocent people are killed while people run from these stupid laws!!

This is exactly right, the harsher you make the penalties the more inclined people will be to run..

Is it just me or everyday more and more police are pulling people over? I drive short trips, 1/2 times on the 5 minute trip to work I see a police car pulling another car over on Doncaster Rd, and on long trips I see at least ONE person being pulled over a day by high way patrol. The cops are really cracking down on everyone.

^^Agreed too, always delays and sometimes it's too early, sometimes it's too late. TOO UNRELIABLE!!!

How about we all get out and walk? Seems to be kind of heading that way with Greens, Road Rules and densely populated everything.

Oh but wait, I might get a ticket for "speeding" (walking too fast) or "tail gating" (trying to get past granny on the sidewalk).

Are they going to defect me for farting?

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
