What's the process if someone calls the hoon hotline and reports someone?

Consider the implications if someone is reported for doing nothing wrong at all? Eg: disgruntled partner, unhappy neighbour, etc...

Can the authorities act on a phone call?

You would hope not, otherwise any random could call up and make a bogus statement.

All these laws are just stupidly over the top. Fair enough if u get caught doing something stupid u should cop it but to impound a car on allegations or with no proof is just not right, I thought it was innocent until proven guilty, or maybe thats just with lesser crimes like murder lol

friend of mine got a door knock. because someone reported him. not because he hoons. but because the person thought "the cars wheels are too big and the wheels are on a big angle"

wait so having epic stance is hooning?

A couple years back when I moved into my new house there was already donut marks in the court..anyway a few months later I get a knock on the door..its the po po on a motorbike..he says we have reports of you doing burnouts...i lol'd and said yeah right prove it and it says whos marks are those in the court I said they were alreadythere before I moved here..then he said why are your tyres bold..i told him I bought them second hand lol...all he did was give me a defect coz my car was on the road not in the drive way. So to answer your question..no they cant do shit with as many calls as they can get..i would of had about 4-5 calls against me

I have to say the conditions for successfully (and happily) owning a modified vehicle in this state are more stringent than the bilogical and environmental conditions required to maintain life.

I hate driving an import and worrying everytime you see a cop. I hate being pulled over for 'random checks' just because the police are bored/have to follow stupid and ill-thought of legislation.

I hate being treated with suspect and being treated like a criminal.

What can we do? Surely all the enthusiasts across the state can form some form of unified lobby that will hold a degree of sway in political circles?

Beyond significant change, I think, having owned over 30 Japanese imports now, I will bow out of the game and stick to hassle free Euro sportscars.

I share exactly the same sentiment. That's one of the many reasons why I am selling the GTR.

If I get another import, it'll be a trailer queen between track days. I've even considered an MX5 to shake the stigma....

This is why im only going to drive mine on weekends or to the track from now on.

We seriously should get a petition or something happening as i am seriously considering moving states cause vic is just retarded in there approach to the so called hoons.

They should be targeting all the f**kwits in there commodores, i have never seen anyone around my area do anything stupid in a skyline, but the amount of times i see heros in there crummy dores been idiots just pisses me of, tainting everyone with the same brush

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
