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)

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
