I don't normally give in to hoons wanting a race ... but it was an opportunity to put "Mr Compensating" and his Porsche in line. And he wasn't very happy about it :(

This coming from someone that usually has a go at people on here for 'hooning'..... Oh but you had a good reason to 'hoon' i guess... Think twice before having a go at someone else for commenting something like this, or on how tragic it is when someone is killed by a 'hoon', today it could have been you that killed someone..

if he stopped at 60, no laws would have been broken. Rapid acceleration is not a crime.

-D

Pretty sure rapid acceleration is a crime man - A cop would call that hoon driving, excessive engine noise. I'll launch my GT-R to 60 and see if I don't get pinged, with no wheel spin and I'll still get pwnt.

Unless they can point out the legislation which defines the maximum acceptable rate of acceleration, it'd never hold up in court. I also don't believe there's a law on 'engine noise' either.

If you spin your wheels, you get done for driving with undue care... my point is tho, unless there is a written law, sure they can give you a fine or whatever, but it'd get thrown out in court if theres no legislation against it...

Also this is apples vs oranges - a bike by nature takes off a hell of a lot faster than a car, even when its not being driven hard. Little thing called 'power to weight ratio'

-D

EDIT - Kye did you challenge it in court or did you simply pay a fine?

I've been fined for undue engine noise man - its 'hoon driving' straight up. Thats why this whole hoon driving bullshit gives me the sh!ts because its too much of a grey area and if you do get a bad cop he can pin anything on you under 'hoon' driving laws.

Yeah I agree... thats why I'd be challenging it - too much ambiguity in the legislation. If our pollies had even half a brain per person they would have seen how fundamentally flawed it is.

My argument in court would be 'what constitutes "undue engine noise" as per a specific volume?' and then I would ask 'If exceeding (x) dB constitutes undue engine noise, can the officer in question supply credible measured proof as to the noise of the engine he believes to be 'excessive'.

Theres a reason why they have noise analysers in police cars - for exhausts, loud parties as well as anything else that would breach the EPA act - if they don't use it, then they're not providing the defendant with all possible avenues to defend their innocence. That alone is generally a caveat that gets cases thrown out of court.

There will be some excuse to say that it was ok though.

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
