I just thought I would share that Monday I impounded a car for the first time since the 30 day impounds came in.

Very satisfied as he was a drink driver almost 4 times the limit and a disqualified driver. This will be his 6th drink driving matter and same for disqualified driving. At least I hope now we have stopped him for a while!

Hopefully the courts back us for once and give him a sentance he deserves.

This is the kind of thing I like to hear. But 6th drink driving and disqualified? 30 days isn't enough. He should lose the car for as long as his disqualification.

Two things I'd like to know. Was it HIS car, and what type of car?

Where our mate got his car back with a new motor and clutch and it just slightly chirped the wheels. (for about a quarter of a sec) because he was still getting used to it. Copped a 30 day impound. Massive bs

It was his car and it was an old nissan pulsar.

Good. I know it could happen, but I've never head of people having someone else's car impounded for 30 days.

It would only take one or two people getting their friends car impounded for the duration of a disqualification and then no one would lend that person a car.

30 day impound straight up? Did he have priors?

lol @ same punishment as a 4 time over the legal limit drunk driver.

Screw impounding, guy can get/borrow another car...when you've done it 6 times and haven't learnt your lesson, you shouldn't be sharing the road with other people.

thank you though for helping to take an obvious douche bag individual off our roads... yes, hopefully the court does something meaningful about it

How the f*ck can someone be picked up 5-6 times for drink driving / having a disqualified license and just let go each single time to do it all over again?

Am I the only person thining W..T..F..? :mad:

This states laws / sentencing are a f*cking joke! :glare:

You're right! WTF? how can someone get done so many times?

I'd say the laws are out of proportion.

Bashings, stabbings = good behaviour & smack on the wrist (how often do we hear about these instances?)..... versus speeding = massive fines, etc . Not condoning speeding, but there seems to be an imbalance here.

Speeding fines have always been about revenue, consider that everyone pays the same fines and yet not everyone has the same income...if it was really just a case of deterring people from speeding, people would have their licence suspended for a day, a week, a month and so on...that's it...no money.

But no, speeding fines are designed not to deter too much...else there would be no revenue. The fact that most people have had at least one for a minor offence, and will continue to, kind of moots the point of punishing the crime in that way IMO...unless it's about creating revenue...oh wait...

I know it's a tired point/cliche, but shit, if everyone acknowledges it is a bullshit system...why isn't it a key point to ride on In a state election and steal votes by opposing it? Gotta be people out there who think it's completely fine just the way it is.

The court system is a joke. I had a similar thing like this a couple of months ago with offender that we caught drink driving blind drunk (refused breath test) was disqualified and fired up assaulting 3 police. he was that drunk he passed out and had to get ambulance to rush him to hospital.

He went to court with these matters and other's from few months before where he had hit run accident while drunk again, victims followed him and tried to speak to him. He then deliberately tried to run them over and hit car again with baby inside. Fired up on members again and these were his 5/6th drink driving and disqualified not to mention the conduct endangering life and again he STILL didn't get any jail time.

Nice Graeme!

Funny thing is 'hoons' are tarnished with such a nasty swipe, yet people like this are just as common yet get away with it time and time again.

Really shows the Gov't focus is not on actual policing it correctly at all when the Justice system fails as badly as it is.

I got an e-mail today from our impound section and found out that he fits criteria for us to apply to court to have his car permanently forfeited to state. We will definitley be trying to do this.

Well done on removing a dangerous driver off the road. I don't understand how can court system let these kind of people on roads.

And all the best in convincing the courts to have his car forfeited to state permanently - I'm sure it's no easy task.

Would he still fit the criteria if it was someone else's car?

He would fit the criteria with his prior offences but in general we don't impound vehicle that isn't owned/normally driven by the offender. That's pretty much the first question the Senior Sergeant asks is whether the car is owned by the offender.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
