Pretty much, yes. There is no single way of knowing, short of a real BAC if you're over or not. That one beer affects you and the next guy or girl beside you differently. Would also stop the bullshit "buy I've only had one..." When was the last time you heard of a p plater drink driver killing themselves? Not for a long time cause they're not allowed to. Same logic it will reduce around 75% of drink drivers cause they now know "0.00 means no beers with dinner" As to the voluntary breath tests, what if you walk out of that police station and go "they said I'm fine" drive down the road, hit a pole and it's determined you were over the limit and the cause of te accident? That voluntary breath test was your deciding point to driving or not... It said you were fine, but you weren't, now you're dead... What's your family going to think?

yeah, it's a bit of a drive, but is well worth it for a good, fun day out. I went to Wakefield yesterday to have a look and help out if needed... In the end I just ended up talking shit with Neil and Duncan instead... LOL

They won't/can't legally do it, because if you get cleared at the first check, and something happens later on, and there is a discrepency, then they're liable. The handheld machines are not "accurate" and hence why you're not booked off them, just taken back to the station tested on the real machine and then booked. But if they hand test you, go "oh no, you're clear" then you head out, crash and your proper BAC is taken and you're over... It's no longer you're fault. I reckon just bring in a 0.00 BAC.

I'm scared of Engine out... Because that is the end!

So, downloaded all my pics today... 99% of them are uber blurry!

Chris, I don't think Neil is talking about his Radical, but rather his R33...

Dave, to the GTR, no, to his wifes mx5...

Guys, of course speed is a factor in crashes, FFS, two stationary objects can not collide. It's physically IMPOSSIBLE!

Even more driver training! I'm pretty sure people go off and drag shit back onto the real road, and it also happens in racing.

Rain teaches you how to drive and handle your car properly.

Your thumb. It's what I use in Motorkhanas etc, never had an issue.

If you want a cage, speak to RISKIN on these forums. You'll find him in the motor sport section. You won't find many people who can build em better.

I vote that it goes to WSID too!

You know... You have to have it before you can lose it right?

It would have been done most likely before the dealer got it. The RTA are meant to have it on file.

Then he won't need the cert. You need to get a copy of the engineering certificate from the RTA, get the defect cleared, and carry the cert with you in the car.

Do a cool little test, call the RTA tech, get the answer, hang up, call them back, ask them the same thing. Do this 5 times... You'll find you have 5 different answers. If there was an engineers cert listed it should have the number on the rego papers. I know mine used to on the R33, and on the Supra. If they're not listed, then the RTA won't have any clue of an engineers cert. If it does already have one listed, then ask the RTA for it, as it's still valid.

No it's not, vsi 06 spells out that you DON'T need an engineers cert for those mods. If it gets to court, they produce that document you end up walking out with court costs to pay and no further then you are now

You're reading an example. Try reading under the part where it actually explains what you can / can't do and what you need to do. The RTA can not legally force you to retain "STOCK" parts as depicted from Nissan, you have to be able to go outside and use replacement parts, you're also allowed to modify your car. If you want, go dig up the actual ADRs and Emmision regulations. You will find you really don't have much of a leg to stand on. So long as when that cat is new, it passes emmisions and the same with the exhaust, you can't go them for the exhaust, and the POD is in an enclosed box. This is what the ADRs dictate. Before you can get any damages paid to you, you will need to PROVE that the exhaust and cat (When new) don't pass emmisions. Remember, cat convertors are a consumable item, and are meant to be changed roughly every 60 000KM.

Actually yes, many times over, and with an engineer before. And I quote: Normal engine reconditioning within manufacturers limits is permitted; Modifications must not affect compliance with any emission or noise related ADRs; All emission control equipment must be retained and functional; It does NOT state standard. Before being able to make them pay for shit, you will have to prove it doesn't meet these standards when these items are new and in a functional condition. And I'd say they're legal as long as they're put on correctly, I ran a high flow cat, and a 3" exhaust, it met both gas and noise emmisions, and was therefore owner certifiable.

The route: I'll have printed maps on the day for people, but the basics, from Church Point Reserve, along McCarrs Creek Road to the southern entrance to Akuna Bay, around Akuna Bay, and up West Head Road stopping at the Look Out.

The only issue is, they will just hand straight back to you VSI06. All of the modifications that you listed on your car are "Owner Certifiable" meaning they don't need an engineers certificate.

All that work on the conversion, and it has squeeky windscreen wipers...

Religion and Politics should be kept separate at all costs. Logic should be the determining factor. Remember it's the Christians trying to cripple our internet infrastructure by restricting what we can and can't access on the internet.

Hey John, just pretend we're in your LAC if you're working... Just no defect handing out okay?
