Ok im not going to go into how or y i found this out, but i did happen to have a chat to one of the nicest cops i have ever come across. He told me that new legislation, lists "Designated Hoon Area's" and that we can have out cars confiscated just for being there during certain times (2-3 in the morning type thing) has neone else heard of this or was it just scare tatics?? either way the cop was really nice to me so thank you its nice to see they all arent out on power trips all the time.

Cheers

they would have to confiscate all cars or no cars for just simply being there...........

if they pick and choose when no offence is committed then it is blanent discrimiation. which is illegal and anyone convicted would have a damn good chance in court.

sounds like the cop either didnt know what he was talking about or got it confused with something else..........who knows........

The holding yard for "hoon tows" would not hold 50 cars!!!! and i find it very hard to beleive that 50 vehicle were ALL doin skids or the like at the same time. Seems your informant is pulling your leg dude.

By the way, hows the new 32 goin? heard you have already gone through your rear tyres :)

I got hassled after leaving the adelide police station, I was doing nothing wrong, I was even doing 50 in a 60 zone, I had to look back and see if I was in the wrong lane., but nah this cop was on a powertrip, and lucky for my friend walking past, who can be a witness(cops grabbed himd and checked his pockets) taht the cop was trying to consicate my car. All I had to do was ring Helen in J.A.B and tell her whats just ahppened and that cop would have backed off a fair bit.

Too right, so many police these days are taking the law and how its enforced into their own hands

I honestly dont understand how skylines can get pulled up everytime, but like old ass holdens and fords dont get nothing when in reality they probably havent had a break/tire/engine check for the last 10 years and could break and kill people.. yet we get defected for low front bars

what a joke

he wasnt going to pick or choose just said that if they wanted to which he didnt as he'd had enough of "us" over the last few weeks, he could confiscate all cars that were there under this new legislation.

Thats gotta be BS

I mean thats taking away our freedom,

Its a public place, we have a right to be there if we want to.

What if one of those occasional 40+ year olds that own nice skylines cruised there with his family just to go for a drive?

This is surely BS,

Especially certain places, like BWCP, ide love to see them try and confiscate at the peak of the nite .. like 500+ cars

What the hell is wrong with the police these days, dont they understand we are young and want to be creative and have fun, be unique and that we arent all crazy stupid hoons.

In the last few months ive hardly seen any stupid or 'HOON' driving from any skyline/supra etc

So what is there motivation for making these new laws?

I know its not figures, V8s are involved in WAY more accidents than skylines because of the simple fact that there is way less skylines.

We are a minority group, therefor enforcing a law solely on us will make little if no impact of road safety.

Police these days are absolute morons

Let's go here he says,

It's really good he says,

How come you got the nice one? Glenn and I got Mr Cranky Pants 2004...

Righto.

Actually I can tell you here, we did nothing wrong just drove through Magnesium Drive in Browns Plains at the wrong time. There were boggodore racing as we got there and they nabbed us instead. No real drama. I wouldn't mind so much if I was actually playing up...

yeh i saw a commowhore at Magnesium Drive neally hit a crowd of people, stuiped old vk 6cylender and not even lsd when to do a donut wat happens just does circles that got bigger and bigger until his front wheel hit the cerb and neally hit all his mates. after that we packed up and left.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
