New Suspension Laws

[Sneaky Pete]

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum and i own an R33 GTS-t.

The new laws that the transport minister Michael Daley has brought in about modifying suspension (lower/raise) are a ridiculous.

Check out this link http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,25790506-29277,00.html

It basically says that anybody who lowers/raises their car is a "hoon", which is ridiculous, and any suspension modification has to be certfied by an engineer. The transport minister says that cars that have modified suspension are a danger to everybody else on the road, which is not true unless a idiot is driving, and the same idiot is more of a danger in a car with unmodified suspension. The laws are set to take effect on 1 august 2009. As skyline owners i thought everybody should have an objection to this as i figure most of you will have lowered cars, and most of them not certified, which is the position i am in. the following link is a petition for the laws to be reconsidered.

My brother is a 4WD driver and has a raised car, and he has the same objections.

Cheers

Feel for the NSW boys (I live in Darwin). Goverments these days just get info from some one that doesn't know anything.

It makes me wonder what is next on the hit list, Better tyers and/ or brake pads that arn't factory.

I feel sorry for you NT guys who now need to sit at 130km/hr on the Stuart.

That's a lot of extra time to spend in the middle of the desert, especially since alcohol's more likely to be an issue than doing 160km/hr.

Has been put off.
