You are deluded or must have been brainwashed by the government :)

What proportion or kind of cars less than 5 years or even 10years old are defectable? Why would one waste time inspecting these cars? Oh I forgot the majority of cars on the road are in this category......and they have owners with large tax rebates.

Those bombs on the streets are the fault of the police system. The police should be active and take these cars off the road rather than handballing it to some one else.

Who said the new system is a better system. Anyone can bribe their inspectors to give them a paper work. How easy is it for the inspector to say that the car broke down after they did the inspection job?

You should look at thing from all different aspects.

Do you think Regency will be closed after the new scheme?

Do you think you will be able to breath easier?

Do you think transfer of registration between states will be easier

Good luck with your thinking.

What ever it is, I am too busy to take my car to service let alone take my car for inspection. The government is dreaming. Anyhow, I should be able to get a exemption for this because of my job. Hey I don't even have to be a juror let alone take my car for some idiot to inspect.

Deluded? Oh thanks for clearing that up for me. Makes life so much easier when those that dont lend to your negative view on life are delude eh?

And just to make it clearer for you, the govt may be dreaming if they think you are going to taking your car to get it inspected? bwahaha - YOU are dreaming if you think you will still be driving if you dont - FACT

No delusion here buddy.

How do you feel if after a car accident you have to wait for the doctor to come back from "a car inspection" to save your life.

That will be the fact if I have to take my car for inspection.

Good luck if you think I drive an unworthy road car and you don't mind waiting on your death pan for the doctor who should obey the LAW (aka BS).

"When ever I see a old bomb bouncing around", I feel sorry for the public and the owner of that car. Is the car bouncing around because of the shock or is it the condition of the road? Is the owner driving that car because he/she can't afford a better car because of EXCESSIVE CAR TAX

The government need to give some to gain some but they are only interest in their pay rise and luxurious lifestyles from taxpayer money.

Why not impose lower car tax and quarterly ROAD CONDITION inspection? I will pay extra for that!!!

No offense here Steve but I don't see any good in the new law.

It probably go ahead because majority of the population has IQ of less than 100 and don't think too hard about these issues.

What PROVEN EVIDENCE does the government provide that the new scheme will be better?

about the same as I would feel if he was taking a dump at the time - thats why they have more than one doctor working in hospitals at a time. So that they can deal with emergencies - have you ever heard of someone dying in hospital because the doctor was having a crap. How will this be different.

Please, lets get back to reality.

Have you heard of doctor shortage in the public system :rofl:?

Have you heard of the waiting time in most public system?

Have you heard of recent pay raise the government offered to the doctor in the public system? 7% over 2 years when indexation is around 4% per year?

Have you heard of the amount of hours most doctors in the public system work?

Good luck if you think doctors have time to do this silly thing. What reality are you talking about? The one the government portrait or the one that they have tried to blanket for many years?

Yes I have, my brother is a GP - I am all to aware of the shortages.

Like I said, lets get back to reality - you are now talking about the negative impact a yearly rego inspection will have on the public health system.

If it makes you feel better, this will be my last post in response to you - so feel free to rant on in peace, I think it is going beyond a joke now.

I must say.

I can't disagree with you. But what can we do?!?! Jack shit.. This is why I tend to push these thoughts towards the back of my mind and concentrate on my car. :P

...you begin to judge them by race unfortunately, its bad, but a certain race do tend to be rather rude and simply arrogant.

Yeah bloody skippys hehehe....

Think its quite human to judge groups of people. Most people do it, just wont admit to it because its not politically correct. Even if not by race, you will always feel more comfortable with people that you can relate to or have something in common with.

having said that, its good that you can recognise it as a undesireable trait:) eh skip?

90% of them think exactly like 9krpm

:O Cab drivers with IQ of around 160 :D :D :D

That's a reassuring national standard :)

Joel, you can let a lot of BS politics go to the back of your mind but this law will cause a lot of difficulty for car enthusiasts. It will raise a lot of revenue for the governments. Imagine if you have 2-3 cars in your household. That's would average to 2-3 extra sickies per year per house hold. What would that do to the economy? What would that do to the OZ dollar? What would your Jap/USA mods cost then? Oh I forgot, I might charge a bigger gap for my consult and if you happen to get sick often....then :(

What is the new law for one should ask?

If it's to remove old bombs off the road then, it't the police job. That's what our tax money are used for isn't it?

If this is the only primary goal then it should only be applies to 15 or more years old vehicles.

Syd/Melb have used this "new scheme". Is there any proven beneficial stat? It's damn easy to do the number crunching isn't it? How come NSW and VIC still have the highest incidence and PREVALENCE of car accident mortality/morbidity? Even before our speed reduction. (I wont even touch on the 50kph issue here either)

We have to look at all the issues involve in this case, good or bad, and unite to express our opinions to the governing body. This is a free country with voting rights. The poloticians are elected and paid by us. We do have the power to make them work for us.

:) Just a little short busrt of frustration and my $0.02

I blame it on the fact that my rear tyres are balded.....need to burn more cash and donate more $$$ to the government :)

dude, give it a rest, or you'll be needing those gp's for the high blood pressure.

ps - doesnt nsw & vic have the highest population per state which would explain "highest mortality/morbidity"

sounds like u should run for parliament instead of trying to convince us....or would that make u a $$$ hungry polly as well?

BTW

incidence = number of accident

PREVALENCE = incidence / population

I am a car enthusiast. I hate politics and stupid revenue raising laws that treat the general population like a bunch of brainless ppl.

Yeah I need a new set of tyres for the rear and a round of good golf before my BP boils :D

    • Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam camp bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
    • I had the same previously, and it really shits me. They just run off red book averages or whatever as the maximum insured, there are never good quality cars available to buy for anywhere near those prices. I don't even understand why they do it. Sure having a customer overinsure then false claim is a risk, but how often does that really happen in the world, 1%? 0.1%? On the other hand, all 10-20% above redbook listed prices and charge 10-20% higher premium, surely that is more profitable for those cockroaches
    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call
