Mate, no offence here, but turbo Skyline + P Plates + Young Driver... you're easy pickings for the cops. They assume because you're young and driving a mildly powerful car that you're bound to be doing something wrong and that you won't have much clue as to the law. You think they'll go after a 50 year old as harshly as they'll go after you? Prob not.

I'm in the same boat, been driving mine since i was 17 too. Never had any trouble with the police, never been pulled over.

A similar thing happened to my mate. He was leaving one of our friends places and a cop runs out of his house (he was off duty) and accuses him of doing an 18 metre burnout. My mates car is an old Pulsar front wheel drive, and my mate was doing NOTHING wrong. His car was impounded and he has to appear in court.

His dad has taken photos of the scene (no tyre marks) taken witness statements from people in the street and gone to where the cop says he observed my friend doing it. Thing is you can't see the road from his house :S Will be interesting to see what happens, i bet my mate will get busted for it and he did nothing wrong.

Haha ok if you think it is the right thing to do ? because i am pretty nervous about it coz i just don't wanna slip up and loose my car for 3 months i mean not having it this past week has been hell so if you wanna give me some help on how i should approach he hole court thing it would be much appricated

hey, this law started in queensland.........correct me if im wrong. they trial it in qld and it cut the "hooning" so down to canberra it came

Well they do have the hoon laws up here.. but they are really only enforced onto repeat offenders, or people doing open drag racing, etc from what I can see. e.g. the fairly bad stuff, to keep people from doing it and so they have something to throw at them.

If you did a bit of a burnout coming out of a shopping centre, or chirped them up at the lights, you probably wouldn't be busted for 'hooning' . If a cop saw you then maybe if he wasn't liking you and wanted to really get you for something, he could pin it on you technically as the interpretation is wide. But it doesn't happen much from what I gather. There is also no option for members of the public to report a hoon incident AFIAK up here - a cop has to witness it. So really, you have to be a being a real nuicance to get pinned for it.

If you were sitting in a quiet neighbourhood area and you did doughnuts at 3am in the morning, then sure - they'd probably pin you for that.

But for the more minor stuff, if they busted every red neck in their commodore for being an idiot or doing a burnout and being a bit of a hero, they'd be booking people for 'hooning' a hell'va lot.

Up here, its more for keeping certain things getting out of control, rather than fairly minor offences.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
