its funny if you read legislation for drunk drivers. they are talking about holding the keys for the cars of drunks after someone was caught 3 times in the space of a couple of hours drink driving.

where is the fairness? drink drive they leave you with your car and drive off. squeel the wheels they wait around for your car to be picked up by tow truck. riiiiiigggghhtttt!

i wonder if the cops have it the same way as parking inspectors? I heard on Today Tonight a few yrs ago that a parking inspector gets more kudos / pay rise / better chance of a pay rise if they issue more fines. Some guy quit cos he was getting hassled by his council for not giving enough fines.

So does a cop get better sh!t if he issues more fines / impounds cars / just being an arsehole?

Was a cop on his motorbike with a radar gun on Elliot Rd this arvo, I got a warning from some dude before I came over the hill so I kept to 50, and he was standing right on the corner of the street I need to turn into. The wet weather had shifted some dirt into the corner, and as I was turning the wheels skidded on it (this is right next to him) and straight away I was thinking he would come after me. That feeling I got is :bs!: because that is all it takes now to get your car impounded. I don't have my 'line yet, but I can guarantee he would have come after me if I was.

He had a look at me to make sure I didn't do anything else but everything else was ok. I turned my music down as well, radar gun cops hate that, most of the time I just drive past them & they have a look. :D

i dont know about that, there is this one intersection on my way home from work (in my work ute (4cyl triton)) that when you take off from the lights from a standing start you hit the bumps in the road and my tyres squeel, not heaps but enough to make you lift your foot of the gas... and no i dont thrash the work ute... :rofl:

in resposce to this, if u blow beetween 0.05 and 0.079 u can drive u car home with a fine......they do actually make u stop if u blow over 0.08

so what they are talking about is if u keep drinking and driving around and stay beetween that limit some how

anyway the squeeling tyres things suks and cops in general suk wish they were out actually stopping people robbing places/thinsg instead of bustin our asses for stupid shit

Hey ive decided if i get done for being a hoon, im getting my car back. I will tell this to the judge and the police too. Unless of course i was doing something really stupid of course, then i deserve it. Cant be that hard to get you car back out of the impound lot. Its my property and i have a right to it, screw this hoon law thing its a violation of our rights a citizens of Australia. Even if they did make an amendment to suit its still bs. They can take my license and i wont drive and the car wont move (like i did a couple of months back) but taking the car! dont think so.

:D

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
