The things covered under "Hoon'' Laws. The main thing is Improper Use of a Motor Vehicle which is classified as driving a motor vehicle in a manner which intentionally causes the vehicle to undergo a loss of traction by one or more wheels.

Relevant offences are:

-Drive whilst disqualified/suspended with prior conviction for that offence committed after 1st July 2007

-Manner/Speed dangerous involving improper use of a vehicle.

-Careless Driving involving improper use of a vehicle.

-Improper use of motor vehicle.

-Organising, managing or engaging in a race or speed trial without authorisation. (Street race)

-Exceed speed limit by 45 km/h or more.

-Travel at 145 km/h or more in 110 km/h zone.

-Undue noise and smoke involving improper use of a vehicle.

-Fail to have full control of vehicle involving improper use of a vehicle.

There is the list for you, pretty obvious things obviously aimed at people doing burnouts/fish tailing. If you are stupid enough to do any of the above and get caught I don't see how you can be upset having your vehicle seized.

what classifies inproper use of motor viehcle.....

-- putting to much firewood in the boot.....

-- steering whith one hand instead of 2.....

-- not moving away from traffic lights fast enough to encourage flow of traffic.....

this list could go on... they have made this so broad that it covers anyone and everyone....

officer says:- you spilled your drink in car..... im taking it off you.

driver says:- Why it was only coke......

officer says:- you cant use your car like a Pub Bar or kitchen table..... im taking it under the hoon infringement of Improper use of motor vehicle.......

so people be prepaird to take it in the ass from police if you have dont the wrong thing or not.

Redback I explained the exact wording above in relation to improper use and it's alot of work for police to impound vehicle so unless serious driving offeces as above list have occurred then vehicle would not be impounded. It's poor attitude towards police like yours that make yourselves targets.

im not a target... i go out of my way to do the right thing... you havent explained anythign accorfing to your post... i read it as the list of things that could be charged against you as a hoon... and i know i exagerated but the term inproper use of a motor viehcle can mean many things.

liek i said.. i aint a target... are you implying that everyone with a comment is a hoon..... and the term you use "yourselves" comes accross as well....... ill let others decide.

Are you a police officer...? comments about the amount of work involved should only be valid if you are.. nearly every police officer i know will do there best to impress supremes and move further with there career.... you do get "nice" cops... nice cops aint correctly doing there job... they should never let you off the hook... police descression comes down to personality.... there for once in court becomes invalid.... ... nice cops are champs....... and cops are...... well.... cops.....

So.. In that case, why don't they just impound every other bloody driver in the country?

fkn idiots.

Yes I am a police officer so I can comment on how much work is involved. In many instances we have tried to impound vehicles and our area supervisors S/SGT's don't allow it unless they decided the offense involved is serious enough. To impond a vehicle will take us about 4-5 hours work with paperwork, processing offender waiting for tows and putting brief of evidence together for court. Not including court time so it's not something done lightly.

Impounding vehicles would only help your career if you want to move to TMU which about 99% of members have NO interest in. Otherwise I could issue you with fines, NOU or EPA which would cost the offender more money and time and only take 15 minutes for me.

I have given plenty of advice to numerous members on here in relation to police matters and don't go out of my way to give people hard time for minimal issues.

I have only impounded one vehicle which was do 70Kmh over speed limit and was a drink driver is that dangerous or serious enough to agree with impounding for you or was I been too harsh.

Police do read these forums as you should be aware and I only warned that comments bagging police will only make SAU members appear to be anti police and be more of a target. I have worked hard in my area in bridging the gap between police and car enthusiasts and as many on here have been pulled over by me know that.

i noticed a previous thread of yours suggests your a cop...... if thats the case explain the term "yourselves....." and the reason you used it with the description of hoon in realation to a comment made... stating were a target of hooning..... actually why am i a target of hooning.... or how do we make targets of ourselves by making simple comments regarding the Legislation.... seems to me you like the power trip of being able to make a target of anyone you like as i said in my first post.... thanks for proving my point.

and as for my poor attitude... you dont know me... or 99.9% of the people on here...

edit: Explain himself during my slow typing..... ignore

yes we are car enthusiats... shouldnt we be able to express our selves in regards to Driving and what and what doesnt effect us.... you post reminding us that the cops read this forum isnt a scare tactic to stop us (mainly myself) is it?

the forum as ive been told by exec before has no affiliation with SAU (dont know how it cant)... the forum is a good spot to express concerns... its safe... behind my desk.... theres no way you would even listen to the second line of my concerns on the street... well maybe not you personally but a majority of police

anyway ive had my rant for this week... but im back on monday :P

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
