Seems like if you want to launch a car, better that you steal one first - that way you will get away with a fine, and it'll be someone else's car that is confiscated. :D

Seriously though, most of the cited "hoon" behaviours are nothing more than some extra noise. If they are so concerned about the general publics' audio comfort, they might as well ban trucks and harleys.

"The most effective action is to take away their car because that's the thing these people love the most," Dr Such said - next time Dr Such is caught speeding, lets take away his wife, or if he doesnt have one, his p#$^$. ;)

my cars not regoed in my names so if they confiscate it the actual "owners" of my cars just have to ring up and say that they need it for the shopping or whatever and i get my car back. I am aware that people in other states have used this loop hole already.

It actually doen't matter whos name the car is in, because in other states its a case of your driving the vehicle you take responsibility for it. So if it gets inpounded thats it! South Australia is becoming a police state more every single day!!!

i've had my 180sx taken off me in NSW when i lived in syd while doing in retrospect some really stupid drag racing... trust me it ain't fun... $300 towing, $400 impound release... however it did stop me from participating in a street drag ever again. So :D maybe i just grew up.

How long did they impound it for?

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
