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

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
