Unfortunately police have to goven stupid rules made by even stupidier goverment bodies. We, like so many other people have endless problems with theft, graffiti and so forth in our suburb that it is well beyond a joke, but the usual police response is what do you want us to do??? it is not thier fault but the goverments laws really favour the criminal. it is easier to bust some dude doing a burnout than robbing someones house.

I wrote a letter in to the advertiser, bottom of the link, posted at top of page. i suggest you all do too. Be sensible and mention the lack of patrols and surveilance in places it count like our suburbs and too many concentrating on 'HOONS' who have probaly never done anything worse than screach some tyres!

new motto should read "SORRY WE CANT HELP YOU, BUT WE CAN BUST YOU"

i kinda agree ... but think about it ... these kids are doing some stupid shit on the road .. eg .. anzac highway on a friday or saturday night ... if u take a drive down there what do u see?? mostly vn commies (sometimes an import but most times a commie or ford) going at it like theres no tomorrow ... thats the sorta stuff i wouldnt' mind them stop ... but i find it quite annoying when i see a copper pull over an import for no apparent reason and i've seen that plenty of times too ...

hippy, there is already anti 'hoon' laws, its called the road traffic act. Dangerous driving, creating excessive noise are two that come to mind.

If the cops werent out setting performance car defect stations, perhaps they would see guys going fully over the top in places where they shouldnt. Then again, when was the last time someone was hurt by a doughnut?

I agree with autobarn, get the cops out there chasing criminals, instead of trying to re-invent the wheel by changing existing laws that should be more than adequate.

When are the law makers and politicians going to start seeing what is happening and start protecting public from criminals, instead of making public into criminals and letting the real criminals go around unmolested?

Had a doughnut caught in my throat last night does that count Steve:)

Its un Australian not to do the occasional Doughy as long as its in a safe area.

Mayb we should all put holden badges on our cars to confuse the cops and they wouldnt know what to do then

I will write something also, something along the lines of what you have already stated.

The goverment would rather focus on the east tasks like confiscating peoples cars, which they should have the right to do, it's not their property.

you don't even get that bad a rap for drink driving!

a burnout may be annoying, but it doesn't kill people.

why don't they start confiscating my house cause i have my music up to loud?

Its just an independant party offering a bill to parliament. I dont think they will accept the bill on the basis of there being too many loop holes. It would be saying that cars were illegal? yes?

I agree with Autobarn's initial post. This is complete bollocks. I think its ironic you can drink drive and not lose your licence for a first offence, its only a points system, but do a burnout and they take away all your vehicle priviledges.

10 stores have been knocked over by thieves in the past month or so, but cause each individual theft was under 25k it is petty theft (or something) totals over 150k it attracts no attention and is just too hard to follow up. but hey, if they do a burnout lets bust em'

ps. is it true? that someone drink driving killed a minor last week and got off withh 100 dollar fine? i missed the first half of radio broadcast.

it is not as bad as doing 'wheelies' obviously. ohh well, pretty sure it wasnt a young 'HOON' either but more your socialite type.

well i can't argue with them not doing real police work ...

but maybe arguments shouldnt' be vented towards police ... they are only doing what they get told to do ... think about it .... its old codgers like Steve who have nothing better to do then think of how they can make a name for themselves so they need to make someone a criminal and be little them to make themselves big ....

but yes cops need to do real cop stuff ...

why dont these offences attract the same demerit point loss as everything else?? and anyway, doing a burnout is far less dangerous than speeding or running a red light... both of which already attract demerit points as far as i know.

I don't understand what they classify as hoon behaviour anyway... ok maybe doing an extended burnout or doghnut is hoon behaviour... but surely not screeching your tyres, cos your average fwd will screech if you accelerate when on a white line... and most rwd cars will wheelspin if you are a bit too aggressive with the right foot

speeding is already covered under other laws

defects are covered by other laws

what else is there??

accelerating hard in a 4wd u are a hoon (no wheelspin here though)??

maybe if you speed in an import or a car with a loud exhaust you are a hoon and the demerit point system doesnt apply to u??

or if your car is lowered and you have a big GT wing and you spin the wheels you are a hoon??

is an executive in a magna who is speeds or screetches the tyre a hoon also??

I don't get it... and i don't see how they can implement it

Write letters to parliments lower house members if the law gets stuck there it will go no where!

Good luck

How about having finance on the car?

There must be a loop hole there...

I want to become a coper and bust the people who are involved in introducing this law,

Sir I heard your tyres squeel as it hit the white line. :(

But yer.. Anzac is full of Commodores & Fords.

You may as well write letters to f@%king El'Presidente Bush for all it's worth.

These laws will come into effect in SA, without a doubt. SA is only following the lead from the other states that already have these tough 'anti hoon' laws in place. I don't agree with it, but 10's of 1000's of other SA citizens sure as hell will.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
