ill rap my car around a pole before they take it! I think the three striks may make things alot worse as you havnt got much to lose, if ya pull over your car and licence are gone so alot of people are going to be more reclkess when the law is in place. It just doesnt work. If anyone can report a hoon ill report her every time she gets in a car.

Has anyone here had anything to do with common law? might be worth looking into, especially if theres anyone legally-minded or at leat midly more compentant than me in these matters present. Im fairly sure (from my limited dealings with it) that many laws about possesion and trespassing etc. aren't actually legal, (if that makes sense...?) because they weren't passed by referendum. Check me on this though....

Secondly. Surely no beat-copper can just say gimme the keys, your ass and car are mine?! i have utmost respect for cops, and the kinda sh*t they have to put up with in their job, but after having spent the last 2 weeks getting a yellow sticker off my car, i really think that giving too much power to your average guy on the street could lead to some nasty altercations,

Also, as somebody mentioned, more people are going to try and run, rather than stop and lose the car - thats not just a maybe, id think that was a certainty

Just My 2c - and everyone should have some input here, as we're all going to be affected by this - Imports look different, so expect more attention.

Drive safe (and slow now)

if they pass a law in parliament then it is a declared statute and is enforceable and the only thing that can change it is a challenge in the high court of australia being constituitionally invalid, I will ask my lecturer about it some more and get back to you

common law is used by the courts if there is no relevant statute to cover each individual case, if the law doesnt apply in that particular instance or there is no act covering the case then the judge will look at common law precedents and previous judgements , but a judge must follow statute law before looking into common , ill check pstanbis

As dstrbd said dont drive like a dickhead and you have no problem, however if your gonna do something stupid, dont get caught doing something stupid. Also From looking at the law when it was pending burnouts now cost 600 dollars, no burning rubber. I think the problem with this law is the overturning of the old status Innocent till proven guilty, It makes the copper Judge jury and executioner, which is totally UnAustralian!

Thanks Mark, I wasn't sure about this whole thing, ive seen it applied in other areas, but not sure about this one - thanks for checking though, i don't know anyone who has a clue :D

Just something else i don't think has been mentioned, but is there a time limit between offences? or if i do something silly now, then in 10 years get caught in the wrong place/time then will it still go to the second offence? ie if stage 1 and 3 are 15yrs apart, does it still carry that far? Just a thought, coz they don't mention anything about demerit points type system or anything

could be tricky there...

case in point - leaving drag combat, one of the members of this board was pulled over by the boys in blue and reamed thoroughly. then given a fine for undue and excessive noise.

he didnt know this at the time, but he was basically charged with doing a burnout. A crime which he didnt commit.

*cue A-team music*

this would have been a car-impound offence under the new laws.

The problem basically is that the Police Officer is the one who starts the process off of confiscation. This is open to abuse. Lets say, being human, a cop has a bad day and you just happen to be around....

The best way is to ammend the law so that evidence isn't based on the lies the officer said.

Say a photo, independant witness or video of the said incidence.

That way pollies are happy, community wingers are happy and we are too.

I do belive that the Liberal party is against this proposed law.

I am looking into it.....

these laws are undoubtedly going to cause an increase in high speed pursuits, and people running from the law. as there is no way in HELL a person is going to willingly hand over their car keys after the 3rd strike. (hell even a 1st or 2nd could make people go GET F*CKED im RUNNING!)

...sure its their fault for doing that stuff n getting caught, BUT... now its gonna make things alot worse for police to catch them, as i personally think alot of people are just gonna piss bolt from them, rather than pull over "sorry officer... here are my keys..".

my opinion.

this is a joke if anyone is intending of using that argument to oppose this new law from being implemented.

it's like saying : "hey, let's reduce the sentences for armed-robbery/rape/murder and hope people don't run and give themselves up instead" :kick:

the truth is, if the first 2 strikes don't send you a message yet, no one's to blame for the third one.... :box:

my opinion. :)

Reason for opposing a law, yeah it's kinda ridiculous, but lets face it, he has a point. Most laws have negatives, and this has got to be one of them - on the other hand, it might actually be enough to shake up the people these laws are aimed at ! who knows ? stranger things have happened....

LOL No it would be like a raper , rapping more people thinking that will help him get away with it. On the other hand out runing the cops will help you get away with it. There is a very good reason to argue the opposed law. FACT.

...........what???

tell me in which way does a rapist, raping more women thinking that will help him get away with it????

boo-hoo, cry me a freakin' river for those who get caught out the third time :boohoo:

If there going to take an interest in street racing they should look into it alot harder.

agreed, I don't like this law as much as Saddam likes G.W Bush, but stating reasons like "increase in the number of high speed pursuits" as a reason for going against this law isn't gonna help us. People running from the law(by foot or car) is always gonna be a fact, no criminal would really stop when the police yells "STOP", that's the problem these days, too many slap-on-the-wrist sentences that make our judicial system look like a joke.....all that re-education,counselling new age bullcrap.....what happened to a punishment to fit the crime?

WHY do people street race, how can we make it safe. People are going to do it

because there are always dickheads out there with something to prove on the streets. No amount of legal drag/track meets is gonna curb this. Blame it on the current culture trends we live in.........and that movie too....

Yes, those who get caught a third time don't deserve much sympathy.

No, a rapist raping more will not help him get away.

The point is that this law can tempt offenders to run from the police, due to the punishment being severe, due to the inconvienience of losing your car for a potentially minor offence, due to you being in a perfectly good getaway car thats already moving and the police are ASKING you to stop so they can rape you.

The point is that this law can tempt offenders to run from the police,

who has broken the law(light or severe) and NOT thought about getting away with it? It's human nature....

due to the punishment being severe,

so...don't drive like a dick the first time

due to the inconvienience of losing your car for a potentially minor offence,

and....don't drive like a dick the second time after getting the first warning....

due to you being in a perfectly good getaway car thats already moving and the police are ASKING you to stop so they can rape you.

well.....still act like a dick racing on the streets and you deserve to get the car impounded :D

klutter u have a point, but no real need to rip into me bout it ?

i mean yeah sure, the previous two times will make a person think long and hard before doing something again. BUT... what about the first two times?

i know some people arent going to be delighted to hand over their keys even for 48hours... i know some may stop and accept this punishment, but then again, i wouldnt be surprised if some piss bolt to try their best to evade the punishment.

Like i said, just MY opinion and i wouldnt be TOO surprised if there was a slight or large increase in high speed pursuits.

so anyhow.... just expressing point of view. as with everyone else, and i believe the bickering that im starting to see on this particular topic needs to cease. (not pointing the finger at anyone... )

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
