i dont believe this to be the case which goes for the same as plates/licence because they have no authority/jurisdiction for it....This is why they push for a change of plates/licence in any given state

This is also the same for truck drivers which is why they have now been moved to an National licence to avoid the issue.

This is also the same for local HWP etc as they can not book/fine/defect outside their jurisdiction of given area/lac

Well it's simple really, drive on our roads u should be obeying our rules..

Fines aren't mandatory for a defect here, I've copped a couple and never had a fine with ine

They can I think but they don't because it's too much hassle for them, same with speeding and other road/traffic offences like mobiles etc

Truck drivers are on a different page as they are on national licences as you mentioned, and it's the rta/vicroads etc that chase them more, cops only try get them for speeding/drugs

HWP can book anywhere I got done more than 50mins from a HWP's jurisdiction, If they want to they will pull you over

Yeah road rules to be obeyed etc is common sense.... But more concerned if i drive through one of these stupid Hoon Squads and get pulled up for being a criminal due to driving an improved production car :P that ill get hassled like in NSW

  • Like 1

im all for obeying the rules! not what im getting at

Lol yeh I know, imjussayin

And chances are as nick said, its too much hassle for them so they just don't bother, they'll pull you over to waste your time but for them to write you up a defect is a waste of their time..

What will essentially happen here, is a stake out where no industrial drifters turn up, so you have a bunch of bored out of their brains police standing in designated areas for 3 hours, who need to show that the operation was a success. Along come the hapless enthusiasts meeting for a cruise...bam...they find their scapegoat and something to do for the next 2 hours because writing defects for ridiculously arbitrary items is better than standing around, waiting hours for people who do illegal shit to turn up...and never come...because VicPol intelligence is an oxymoron.

Obviously revenue is down and most people are folliwng the rules, so why not bash the car scene for more cash to feed the governments hands with money to be wasted on BS, who line there pockets for there own gain and let our industries crumble under free trade agreements and sit back and go......

There is nothing wrong with...

Transport - Easy when you have a driver and car

Roads - Easy when you can get an escort

Cost of living - Easy when you are 100,000 with 20k in expenses.

Cry me a river we pay for a government that is unable to do there job or provide basic services and yet they target people who work and keep hard working Australians employeed.

Hey guys apparently it is going to be on 7 news tonight for more of an insight.

Oh yay! So now all the Anti Hoon clowns can start an uprising due to bad media :/

Oooooo create cardboard cars out of boxes and make engine/flutter noises pretending to drive them around...

Or get remote control drift cars and drive them around the area, doing burnouts etc. hehe...

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
