Keep in mind that import defects dont account for a majority percentage of defect notices issued. I've had plenty of mates with shitbombs get a nice yellow sticker over the years. Not a valid complaint.

So you have the numbers to prove that????

Found this during my search. Its a report from 2000, but still interesting:

DefectTest.jpg

So 0.6% of fatal crashes were the result of a defectable vehicle. :D

BAHAHAHA you cant be serious?? :cool::D no stats are needed, just look at the amount of 'quality' cars on the road. i usually think i am at u pull it but then i realise i am driving on the road. hence the reason i don't 'believe' in defects anymore.

theres your evidence for the NSW boys. 240 inspected, 501 not inspected

Running with the trend ... 501 x 1.4% = 7 defectable vehicles that were never identified.

Adelaide has (142 + 25) x 0.6% = 1.002

So only 1 possible vehicle that was defectable in a fatal crash (and that includes motorcycles also). So compared to NSW (and other states) its saying defectable vehicles contribute less to fatal accidents.

Look at it another way (using SA and NSW only, all fatalities):

NSW (240 + 501) x 1.4% = 10.4

SA (142 + 25) x 0.6% = 1.0

Thats prob grounds for SAPOL to argue that mod plates don't make a difference. But this report was back in 2000 anyway.

Thats what's provided in the report anyway. I'm looking for the raw data, so I can crunch my own numbers! Also looking for data on "modified" vehicles contributing to crashes.

From the ABS website.

At 31 March 2008, the average age of all vehicles registered in Australia was 9.9 years. This is younger than the 10.4 years recorded in the 2003 MVC. Over this five year period, a drop in the average age was observed in all vehicle types except buses. Vehicles manufactured before 1993 (those more than 15 years old) comprised 21.2% of the total Australian fleet. This is slightly lower than the 21.9% of registrations recorded 12 months earlier.

So there are less shitboxes on the road. Average age of cars is getting lower. So by 2010 I should upgrade my Stagea to an R35 :D

From 2006 ABS report: http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/bb...F4?opendocument

... if you can be bothered filtering thru all that :cool:

In both 2001 and 2006 the majority of fatal crashes occurred on roads where the posted speed limit was 100 kilometres/hour (km/h) and above (44% in 2006), followed by roads with a speed limit of up to 60 km/h (33%). A further 23% of fatal crashes occurred on roads with speed zones of between 65 km/h and 95 km/h.

In both 2001 and 2006 the highest proportion of fatal crashes was single vehicle crashes (41% and 47% respectively). Pedestrian crashes accounted for 18% of crash types in 2001 and 15% in 2006.

So 1/3 of fatal crashes occur in 60kph and under zones. 44% in zones 100kph (country and freeways). But the safest speed zones were 65-95kph areas.

Single vehicle crashes account for nearly half of fatalities! Wonder why the cops are cracking down on hoons in 60kph areas :cool:

But wait! There's more ...

Total registered vehicles in SA in 2006 were 919,000 and 3,404,000 for NSW.

SA fatalities 148 / Total registered vehicles 919,000 = 0.0161% chance of being killed

NSW fatalities 508 / Total registered vehicles 3,404,000 = 0.01492% chance of being killed

So per capita of road registered vehicles, SA is at a higher risk of fatal crashes than NSW.

i had officer neil pick me out of a crowd of cars and came out with a warning about a boost contoller. he was actually a nice person to me and my other half and rather reasonable. he was fairly strick by the book but yet that is his job. ok im not keen as i was picked out but then look at my car, it dont look stock. i was told of officer neil that as soon as he sees me on the rd again he will be pulling me over and that would be to check what we have discussed. i have done what he has asked so im more than willing for him to check it again.

i even seen a SS BOMBadore ute pulled over the other day with the measuring tape out and the guy screaming at the cop. the car was way to low as the rims (not just the tires) were under the guards. but yes its moreso skyline drivers as they are easy targets.

i have found similar studies, basically saying the same thing.

if u put up the amount of defects from RBT's, compared to the amount of people done for being over the limit at RBT's, then look at the crashes they cause, it's just rediculous.

      Starting again

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.

      Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Duncan · Posted

      So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
