Hey,

My dad told me that 2night on channle 7, they had a thing about the hooning laws. Basicly they said they start this saturday (so everyone drive carfully). Also he said that the ONLY car they pick of was a SKYLINE, a yellow r34 with no wing (if u people remember it was doing a burnout).

so its something like 1st time 24hrs, 2nd time 3months and 3rd time, they take your car away from you.

IM still abit confused about the 3rd time, i dont see how the government/police can just take away a car that you pay for , for some reason it doesnt seam legal to me, also wat happens if you are not the owner of the car you just happen to be hooning in it, can they still do the following things to the car?

And what does "hooning" mean?

I guess those are the 3 questions i would really like answers

mike

i agree steve, i think that alot of people will try and run :) which isnt a good thing.

Im just worried if they dont state wat hooning is, is it left up to the polices and if they arnt having a good day cuz be real dickheads and say u were hooninh

Minister's Office - 9213 6600 .....hmmm

haha ..*ring ring* "uhh hello minister? is your refridgerator running? "

This stinks - shame they didnt do a public poll to see if they share the opinions of the rest of the community. As much as people dislike "hoons" im sure many would have seen this as an unreasonable solution.

"Interpretation" of hooning is definately a worry. It seems to me to be a sub section of dangerous driving, they have just enabled police to confiscate cars as punishment.

Police have always been able to use the dangerous driving line to get people for taking off at lights too quickly.

Don't know what my point is, only that I think it would have to be some pretty major offence for them to enact this new law, if you are going to be an idiot on the road, accept the consequences. I think most of us have more respect for our cars than to treat them like 'hoons' treat their cars.

Good tyres are expensive, as are replacement turbos, engines...

And lives are priceless.

If you want to hoon, go to a race track.

the definition of 'hooning' is definitely debatable...

i read that link too, what do they mean by 'forfeited'? very vague... they cant just take it off u can they? what, we have to buy the car back, pay some fine, yellow sticker, etc etc...???

i'm lucky my car isnt souped up enough (yet..?) to do that much harm...

anyone wanna sell me a police scanner / radio etc? :)

SEXZILA agrees :)

i cam very close the other day - got caught doing 39kms hour over the limit. Its suprisingly how easy it is ...... and the copper was hiding in someones front yard in an unmarked car behind their bush ..... hmmm and that isnt revenue raising.

**mumbles underbreath**

i cant ****ing believe that this shit is happening

such a ****ing joke

this is horrendous hey

such acts as accelarating and braking... what

so just braking can get your car conviscated..

why cant we look to europe for some guidance on how to handle the roads

take off the road, women who decide to pay attention in the rear view mirror at 7am putting make up on, people who are eating and drinking, talking on phones, smsing, getting head (lets leave that one), people who are too scared to drive 60 or 50 or 40 past schools or 80 on highways and 100 etc on the freeway, but still hog the overtaking lane anyways.. people who have phobias about being in heavy traffic situations

drunk assholes who decide to drive, drugged up high on shizz ravers coming home at 4am in the morning and implement a driver education system that teaches people about road courtesy and common sense.. not shit like you need to indicate while reversing... and maybe we can drive in peace in our "hoon machines" which as a club i gotta say we do pretty well in keeping in line on the roads, knowing the rep we have..

i am so annoyed...

think its time for that phonecall

anyone got an auto dialer with audio input

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
