Fkn wut?

That's what they said about Queensland ~3 years ago :/

Not really, no. Leesh recently got a sticker and has had a hard time getting it off, had lots of other mates and acquaintances having trouble recently as well.

All the states are as bad as each other, wanna' go somewhere good for car enthusiasts? Move to California or Texas ;)

Don't worry mate.

​I have my Anti-Jinx undies on.

Yeah good old US of A is good for speeding around, from reading a US based BMW forum it seems like 15mph over is the norm & cops won't bother 99% of the time while the ones that get done for speeding & are complaining with an rant thread got caught doing close to double the speed limit :woot:

& when I asked about modifing my exhuast for the 335i every body's response was something alone the line of 'get a catless one'... LOL

WA is the best state for hoons.

Period.

LOL

Wouldn't that be NT? They are bring back the unrestricted speed limit to a section of the freeway?

QLD is offically the worst place to own a performance car & even worse if it happens to be a TT/ACA favourite hoon car.

Most noticable is this type 2 offence

Type 2 offences:

  • Infringement notice, notice to appear or arrested for first offence (such as, unlicensed driving, high range drink driving, exceeding speed limit by more than 40km/hr, driving a vehicle that is both uninsured and unregistered, and non-compliance with vehicle standards and safety regulations). Your vehicle will not be impounded or immobilised.
  • 7 day impoundment or immobilisation for second offence.
  • 90 days impoundment or immobilisation for third offence.
  • Vehicle liable for forfeiture on subsequent offence.

Type 2

  • Driving a vehicle while it is uninsured and unregistered
  • Unlicensed driving
  • High-range drink driving – 0.15% and over
  • Exceeding the speed limit by more than 40km/h.
  • Driving an illegally modified vehicle not complying with prescribed sections of vehicle standards and safety
  • Failure to supply a specimen of breath or blood
  • Driving while under a 24 hour suspension

Does that mean if you get defected 4 times in a short period of time for crap like 'no water in window washer, handbrake makes too many/few clicks, no tire placecard, no H-shift pattern...) you can lose your car for good...

How the f**k is having a so called 'defectable' car hooning anyway?

& there is something interesting about the more serious type 1 offence too:

Type 1

  • Any of the following four offences committed in circumstances which involve a speed trial, a race between motor vehicles or a burn out:
    • Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle
    • Careless driving
    • Organising, promoting or taking part in racing or speed trials
    • Wilfully starting or driving a motor vehicle in a way that makes unnecessary noise or smoke
  • Evading police

And according to this http://www.police.qld.gov.au/Resources/Internet/services/OperationalPolicies/documents/TM-PublicVersion.pdf, speed trial means:

(i) any attempt to establish or break any vehicle speed record of any description on a road; or
(ii) any trial of any description of the speed of a vehicle on a road; or
(iii) any competitive trial of any description designed to test the skill of any vehicle or driver or the reliability or mechanical condition of any vehicle on any road.

Seems like if accelerating too fast from the lights can also fall under this as (ii)... also someone pointed out from another forum that test driving cars at a dealership is now illegal whether it be testing acceleration speed or testing how much grunt the car has up a hill with your family sitting in the car.

Good thing WA is 20 years behind everyone else so I guess we won't see these for some time... :yes:

All these laws do is breed the perfect Camry grandma driver, the ones that always drive at least 10k under everywhere, take off from the lights slower than the bus next to them, merge on to the freeway still doing 20km/h slower than existing traffic due to slow acceleration, never use >5% throttle & brake the 1st instance they see a speed camera/cop car even if they were already doing 10ks under to begin with.

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
