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

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? :)

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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
