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

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?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
