Modifications vs Legalities - Q&A Night

[locutus_of_bris]

Thanks for everyone who has posted, it's great to see such a positive response. So far it's looking like a monday or wednesday night, so if you haven't posted yet and have a preference please do so by tomorrow night.

Qikr33 - thanks for the offer. At this stage the officer who has contacted me was a hoon squad sargent, who does field work (as in chasing people around). He also mentioned he can bring a police mechanic, so I will confirm this with him when I next speak to him. I'll let you know how it goes.

Boxhead - yes, I'll be happy to take notes. I actually want to see if we can get documentation we can copy from the police on this, and also take minutes and get the police to then "sign off" on them to say that's what happened.

Bryanlee - thanks for the offer. I'm not sure we should video it, but I will suggest it to the guy next time I speak to him. Are you coming? Wasn't sure from your post.

Krys - are you coming or toasting someone?

Ok, please post if you haven't done so already and advise availability. After tomorrow I will persue the venue and confirm that, and also being asking for questions to be submitted as it would be good to give these guys some notice of what we are after.

Thanks again to all.

I have a question for the dude.

Get the cops to make little cards of immunity for skyline australia people and wen we get pulled over we can flash our cards, the cop can give us the thumbs up and send us on our way.

That is a good idea

[kryz]

haha. It's like Monopoly!

[Parag0n]

haha 4 doorz, like that will ever happen

[r31gts]

i'm sure i can think of plenty of questions to ask, but i think i'd be too rude so i'll sit back and watch the video of it

I won't be able to make it (I'm in Toowoomba during the week) but good luck with the meeting, and I must say that it's fantastic to see someone taking POSITIVE steps toward legal modifications. It makes a nice change to the constant bitching about "dam piggaz, jus got dun" - complete with dodgy spelling

A couple of questions for them though:

1. Is it possible for a pod filter to be legal outside of a sealed box if it's engineered? If so, are there any further requirements?

2. In QLD, what is the story with aftermarket ECUs? Does it just have to pass roadside emissions tests, or does it have to go through some kind of re-compliancing? Is programmable injection OK?

3. What about intercoolers?

So what is happening with Legal night now Dave?

[locutus_of_bris]

Thanks all for your suggestions so far. This is what's new:

1. It will be on a monday night

2. The venue is sorted - Bob Jane Toombul

3. Start time aiming for 6pm for food, with 6.30 kick-off

I will be rining the police to confirm a date, hopefully tomorrow. I am looking to do this on the 18th or 25th of next month, depending on the availability of the police.

As soon as there is a date set I will setup a new thread with a list of names of people coming, and then open it up for questions to be submitted. I would like to send them into the police a week before hand so they can research if required.

Thanks again to all who have posted. Feel free to post in here if you can make it, or if you now can't. I hope to be able to have the final date and time up by the weekend.

Thanks

Quick update - still waiting for date confirmation from police. As soon as I have that it's open for questions to be submitted, and people to confirm they are coming. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything.

Cheers

would you boys have a problem if came along , would be a chance to hear some real information

[Rasi]

Possible Question-

Are mods like speed cut defenders illegal as they do not assist in the performance of the vehicle, but they allow higher speed for track days etc.

[4 Doorz]

Rasi:.......realistically, you've done more than 180 on the QR sprint track?

[Rasi]

No - just a question tho
