If your so worried about what's legal & what's not, excessive revs, speed, noise, loss of traction are all illigal, so why not buy a Honda instead?

Make sure it's an Auto Honda Jazz, then buy RAYS extended lug nuts and install bucket seats from a Type-R.. don't forget the tow hooks front and back.. real JDM look & feel.. restecpa

Haha with chrome tail lights and chrome vault 17's...?

Op, they will never make it illigal to sell mods, people will usually mod a car before they register it with CAMs etc. you can't relate it to gun / drug laws because their directly related to safety. A blow off valve is not.

I understand where you're coming from but there are heaps of laws and restrictions in place unrelated to "safety". Like age restrictions on purchasing scratchies and lottery tickets. Age restrictions for viewing movies and tv shows. You have to show ID just to purchase a SIM card, how is that related to safety?

That's a bit naive perhaps.

Scratchies and lottery tickets is gambling. Gambling is restricted to adults, so that children with young, immature, plastic brains do not learn bad habits and become problem gamblers. Same with adult content in movies and TV shows. ID to purchase a SIM card is to try to keep the population under control - it's a matter of being able to police the use of technology that can facilitate crime and terrorism. Sure, they probably go over the top, but the natural tendency of any democracy is to strangulate itself with laws and regulations designed to "protect" the populace from itself, even if they don't really need it.

The very last thing anyone should be doing is advocating restrictions on ANYTHING that doesn't already have it and doesn't need it. Performance modification parts, etc, definitely fall into that category.

You have to show I.D because say for example you make a death threat or bomb threat with the number/sim card, they can trace it back to you.

Similar to if you were a drug dealer, sending text msgs back and forth about you 5kg of cocaine you want to offload, they can track/follow you.

Not related to safety at all..

You do relise that 000 calls can be made from a mobile without a simcard.

And if someone was desperate enough they could use someone else's simcard, its not hard ive lost two mobiles in my time. Or perhaps attempt to use someone else's ID. Again thats not hard considering people lose their wallet's alot.

I purely made this forum to get an understanding as to why something illegal on our streets was significantly available to anyone. Not just those who use it for track purposes. Regardless of weather its safe or unsafe is irrelevant because it still is illegal.

U do realise no one would be stupid enough to call 000 to make a bomb or death threat, which was the example Kane used. He's right not only can sims be used to track calls, texts and phone tapping, it can also be used as a GPS tracker. Many people have been convicted of murder, from the evidence of there phone signal being in the vicinity of the crime scene.

While i c u have a point, at the same time its a good thing its not made illegal because why would we want to make it harder on us. I've always wondered when the speed limit is 110 then why the hell do cars can reach 300km/h, when a $100 speed limiter is all that it would take to enforce that law. It's because cars that reach that speeds will seel more, they make more tax, more jobs at holdens etc and then more revenue from speeding over the limit.

Some things are kind of whack yes but it's a good thing we can stil buy go fast bits, so not actually sure why u brought this topic up , weather u wanted to mod you're own car with a BOV and timer or just spark a heated debate

Where did I mention calling triple zero? I could be referring to making a bomb threat at your local KFC... Any person with half a brain would call their phone company and block their SIM card yeah?

Why is Marijuana so readily available?

Why are guns so easy to buy?

Like I said, worst thread on SAU..

Are you 12?

I thought school had resumed??

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
