A case was thrown out of court not all that long ago from the hoon laws so the person did not lose his licence as well as have his car impounded. There is a loop hole.

Read the Aust. constitution or PM me and I will tell you how to get around it. Don't really want to go posting it here :P

Sorry r32 chick nothing to hide!

Dan as wat i got,

basically it is against the Australian Constitution to penalise someone for the same crime twice eg. you robbed the shop, they can't sentence you twice for robbing that shop once.

It is the same with the hoon law, if your car has already been confiscated before going to court, you have already been sentenced. The police played judge, jury and executioner. Word it well and get the exact codes etc. for it from the Australian Constitution and tell the judge he can't take your licence basically as you have already had your car taken therefore served your sentence.

A case was thrown out last year based on exactly this.

I don't know the exact codes but if you ever got busted it could save your licence!

I find the easiest way not to get hoon lawed is to not break the law.. seriously how hard is it? If you get caught doing 20/30+ over the speed limit then you have to take responsibility for your actions, not get all up in arms about how you've been hard done by. Sure there may be exceptions and labeling a certain demographic 'hoons' whilst older drivers escape yellow stickers and biased media articles isn't right, the majority of people here know right from wrong, so it really seems like a non-issue to me.

Why is every one so worried about these laws? Very similar to the uproar caused by people getting busted for drugs etc at summerdayze then complaining the police presence was over the top. The only people complaining about the police are the ones carrying!

There is the potential to get reamed for something you didn't do just because you fit a certain demographic. THAT is what people are up in arms about.

+1

would you like to be pulled over and the cop says

Sorry you got a import i need to check your car ( hoon) and gives you a yellow for doing nothing ?

Thats the other side

Fair enough, that's the exception I was talking about then. I've never been treated unfairly by the police so I haven't had to worry about it. I still believe there's a reason why people get stickered for 'no reason', much like some people seem to have a lot of accidents that aren't their fault.

Hey Dan, it was a friends son. This guy knows the Australian Constitution off the top of his head, nothing can go against it. The only way to change the constitution is through a bill, I am pretty certain they will never change that one.

Even Local Councils are against the Constitution, said friend doesn't pay and hasn't paid rates for years. Yes the Council took him to court, he said his case and said that should they pursue it he will make it very public. They dropped it. I can go on for ages about it, remind me next time I see ya.

This guy is even a retired police officer, a very smart man.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
