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

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
