I Wonder How Hard The Police Push These New Laws ?


Recommended Posts

So I wonder how the police will interpret these new anti-hoon laws and how hard they will push them?

From the example set by the anti-bikie laws I think people should expect them to be pushed very hard over the next few weeks. Personally I'm going to try and avoid driving the Skyline for a few weeks.

Any thought?

Anyone come into contact with them already, or over the weekend?

I'm also curious as to how apps like Strava (http://www.strava.com/) will be affected seeing as they activel encourage competition between users and it times your ride on open roads to be placed on a leader board. Sounds like a Time Trial to me.

Hi Guys,

Sorry to hijack the thread but this is kinda related (on account that I'm shitting myself!)

I'm relocating from SA to Springfield Lakes. Can you help me with a suggestion of where I should go for a RWC and mod plate?

Or as another possibility, should I transfer the car into a parents name and leave it SA rego for a bit until the dust settles?

Thanks in advance

Not sure if leaving it in SA rego will help. I also can't help with RWC or mod plates, sorry. From the photos your cars looks too low and I'd suspect the cops find that the easiest thing to issue a defect for.

I thought being low was the least of my worries as the car is (to the best of my knowledge) standard height.

The kit give it the appearance of being low I guess

Cheer anyways I'll start my own thread re: RWC

gday terry,

I just moved up from SA.

ServiceSA and SA rego is a dream compared to up here.

personally I'd leave it on SA rego for AS LONG AS you can while you gather the correct info up here

Guys honestly ride height keep if legal exhausts try keep em a bit on the quiet side or simply drive normal never get hassled myself and I've got a 400kw daily driven skyline to work. And I've found the first words that come out your mouth when pulled over are the most crucial (attitude test).

Saying all this yes I know there is quite a few cops out there that try to maximise revenue on us import guys

I am wondering about the definition of "time trial".

According to this http://www.police.ql...blicVersion.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 probably test driving cars at a dealership is can fall under this whether it be testing acceleration speed or testing how much grunt the car has up a hill with your family sitting in the car.

A public version hey. I wonder whst the left out during the rewrite. And via these new laws fast acceleration from csn be deemed speed trialing. Hence I've chsnged driving habits to 20kph per gear change.

I'm getting worried about this as well.. I get my opens very soon and knowing my luck with cars & police, I'll get pulled over coming out of the driveway..

I have raised the car so it's now about 110-120 off the ground in all areas..

Also took my atmo BOV and replaced with a Turbosmart Kompact (recirc) and plumbed it back..

My only worry is my external gate, if a cop knows his stuff, pretty sure he or she will find it..

I'm not going to push it enough to open the wastegate..

But it's kinda hard not to stand out with gold paint, orange boot, black front and back bumper AND white skirts lol :/

I'm getting a respray asap! Haha

I have seen a crapload of undercover golfs and hiluxes pulling imports over in my area, (Miami, burleigh heads)

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
