I agree with Andy this repercussions that could come from it, think of the new laws that may come from it and the amount they may beef the fines up more... And yeah he shouldnt of called his solicitor because thats ridiculous! I've had neighbours like that, called the cops on my mum (if you guys saw my mum you'd understand how funny that was for me to hear) for reversing to fast out our drive way.. some people just have too much time on there hands I swear... nosey little... :)

As soon as your wheels break traction its neg driving. Ive had my brother go thru this, thru court. He lost. But this was 5 or so years ago. Didnt loose his car.

Isnt it innocent untill proven guilty...

Take them to court. And when you win see a soliciter and start the compo procedings n shit cause you had to sell your car because you were too scared to drive it, and that you fear you will be picked on again.

As for your retard neighbour fill this in. You need to give your details tho. Just say the car was blowing that much smoke you had to pull over.

Thats why you buy a GTIR and have no problems with 'losing traction'. :P

you obviously dont have enough power :D i know some gti-r's in canberra that still have some traction issues though i will agree they still handle awesome even with some big mods.

Hey, if we are going to call 33's whales, those GTiR pulsars - fast as they are they leave themselves open to masses of name calling... like shopping cart :(

I've been led to believe that in NSW, you have to rotate the wheel a certain number of times (3 rotations or so):burnout: to be considered neg driving. I've done a short "sqeel" (but not a sqeeley) in front of a police man (damn brass button), and was warned but not given a ticket.

The cop at that time stated he wasn't happy I wasn't more aggressive, as that would have led to a ticket.

This could of course be total garbage, and correct me if I'm wrong!

No they didn't impound my car. Still waiting for the ticket in the mail. They were trying to tell me I was doing 110 in a 60 zone. Which I sure wasn't - firstly it was an 80 zone. They said they could take my car for doing a burnout and I replied I didn't do a burnout and she then said she was going to cover it under neg driving. I was thinking of arguing further but thought that was probably the best compromise I could get.

The federal police definition of a burnout is:

burnout means-

"(a) in relation to a motor vehicle other than a motorbike-operate the vehicle in a way that causes the vehicle to undergo sustained loss of traction by 1 or more of the driving wheels"

I'm a little confused how they judge the sustained factor. What is their definition of sustained?

Id assume that sustained would be considered a deliberate attempt AND no genuine attempt by the driver to stop the vehicle from doing a burnout.

ie. high revs, big launch, accelerating with brake on, not stop immediately from doing a burnout [if it was an 'accident' and so on.

Most of us know when we see a car doing a burnout in the streets if he is doing it deliberately or not [consider the principle of the 'reasonable person']. So why wouldnt the police?

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
