why the f@ck will u get fined if ur car is unlocked?

doesnt matter whether ur driving or parked....thats totally BS!

No, its only when you leave the car unattended (and I'm assuming you won't be driving in that instance).

Its to stop people from leaving their cars unsecured and walking off, and then having a cry when someone opens the door and steals shit from it. In the past you could make an insurance claim on it (since its theft), but now since you've broken the law they don't have to pay out.

Which is fair enough. Why should insurance companies pay out for your stupidity? If your car was locked and someone broke in, fair enough. But if you're too much of a **** to even lock your own pride and joy when you wander off to pay for petrol or whatever, you deserve what you get.

I could have sworn this law was enacted a couple of years ago. I must have remembered wrong, but in that case they introduced a law a while ago making it illegal to leave your keys in the ignition (car running or not) while unattended. Same reason - people would walk off, and someone else would just hop in to the car and drive it off. Technically its theft so its insurance claimable (and it was costing them quite a bit), but not when you did something illegal to enable it to happen.

Ok

Rule 78 (2) Not move out of path of police/emergancy vehicle : Fine level 6 $300 and 3 points!

Rule 66 (4) Proceed after stopping at twin red lights Fine level 6 $300 and 3 points.

What the hell do you do when there's sirens blazing behind you and your the first car at a red light?!?!?!

I heard stories of someone getting fined for proceeding cause you don't have the authority to proceed even if the cops/fire/ambos are behind you honking their horn at you.

Rule 265 (1)&(3) Passenger 16 years or older not wearing seatbelt. Fine level 5 $225 points 0

Rule 265 (1)&(4) Passenger 16 years or older in front seat when not permitted. Fine level 5 $225 points 0

Umm... thought this was 3 points?!?!?!

No points for transit lanes.

Which is nice since I have drive in one every day for 5+ years now. Which for a $175 fine would make it 13c per day if I get caught one day ;) If there were points i probably would not use it.

Ok someone want to explain the diff between a T way, transit lane and a bus lane (3 points for a bus lane)

Isn't it nice that if you right off another veichale cause of neg driving you get the same level of offence than driving in a bus lane... mmm makes total sence to me (not)

T-Way usually have signs stating T-Way. its the Bus Only Lanes.

and Transit lanes I think are just the T2 or T3.

T2 = two passangers in the car

T3 - Three Passanagers in the car.

kinda makes it worthwhile car pooling.

Don't try to justify your crime....you......you....criminal!!!!

lay off dundan. he needs all the help he can get to be at work on time. I see Kel and duncan like to stroll into work at about 10am by my calculations. go that transit lane son!!

  • 2 months later...

I seriously don't understnad this shit about T2 T3 in Australia, Im from NZ and we don't have that there at all which makes it a lot less confusing, so the majority of time I just ignore it. Now, what is the point to all of lane thing, is it a safety thing or something?

I think I've missed the point with Rule 151(4): Ride motorcycle more than 1.5m from another. I guess than means I can't leave the house unless I have a riding buddy...

Bring on more fines for not keeping left.

Bring on more fines for rear fog lights and highbeaming.

Bring on more fines for hand-held mobiles.

And the best one, Rule CI96A(2), $50 for "Riding bicycle furiously!" Nice.

Guys what's the difference between a burnout and an aggravated burnout?

why the f@ck will u get fined if ur car is unlocked?

AMEN TO YOU BROTHER. im sure it is only if the car is running unattened ie fueling up; turbo timer must be shut off b4 fueling up.

this also means turbo timer must be off even if you want to hang a shit. how ever my freinds ive argued the point when there was a passenger with me that it was not unattended and got off !!!!but i think it was pot luck.

agravated burnout is when you have one arm out the window flipping someone the bird. or if you are doing it on somones front lawn.

Damn. Then they'd probably fine me for having part of my body outside of the vehicle too.

    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
