That's right ladies and gentlemen, there is now an entire department dedicated to hoons.

So for those of us driving well looked after Japanese cars, expect to be pulled over for a random breath test & license check more than ever.

Actually sickens me to think they just brush the hoon label over everyone AND they are wasting more and more resources on this.

I honestly believe a driver training day should be mandatory for all L platers, prior to getting their P's......AND the instructor has to pass them.

anyhoo enough of my ramblings

BTW....didnt Ken Lay get caught hooning not long ago? 54 in a 50 is hooning now isn't it?

Sounds like its more directed at people causing accidents by driving drunk etc. Maybe this is the new meaning of hooning? I'm not a hoon anymore because I drive a Jap car :action-smiley-069: , to be a hoon I'd need to be a drunk bogan driving a commodore at high speed :)

If applied correctly then it could be a good thing. I mean take the focus off the people who stumble into a 50 zone from a 60 zone and get done for doing 10km/h over to the idiots drinking and driving, going way over the limit and ending up in peoples yards and injuring people etc.

I hope the appointment of the task force means the courts starting doing their jobs, otherwise its just hundreds of thousands in extra policing which could yield more benefit elsewhere

If it turns into a defect people for having wheels 2" bigger then std even though they have new $500 a corner tyres on them then that will be a shame.

I am all for them cleaning up the streets, but seeing their dumb information really pisses me off...

"Of 8000 serious crashes in 2007 - 1000 leading to brain injury, loss of limb or paraplegia - only 40 drivers were charged with serious offences."

Ok so every week how many people die from bashings and stabbings in Victoria, most of which are in Melbourne, what do they get? A slap on the wrist and back out into the public you go.

They put together a top notch team or homicide investigators and best police around - because its so hard to pull over a car for speeding or doing a burnout? Wow don't they spend their resources well.

I am sure most of us here see more things than cops do, i have said to myself multiple times, if i was a cop... wow...

The department is just stupid, plain and simply. They have no idea what they are doing. Its quite sickening, i am just gonna sell my car and buy a bloody Swift or something.

The stupid thing is now that "hooning" is the real type of criminal activity and stabbings/bashings are nothing anymore as it seems like it. Cops dont focus on the real situation. This will not change nothing and only increase the deaths from random attacks.

the sort of corruption we see even with squads like this is pretty disgraceful. takes me back a few years to when jeff kennett got pulled over doing 140km in a 100km zone and got off with nothing, while a plumber on the same day in the same situation lost his license for a year. funny how that works

f*k this governments going up the shit...i dont even know the real meaning of a hoon anymore...it used to be for doing burnouts etc...but now your labled as a hoon if your on the phone. Like someone said...they want to get the road toll lower by 2017...but the population is just going to get bigger by then which means more cars on the road which means more conjested roads and more likely of an accident. Other countries raise there speed limits and it works..if your going 120 your more focused on the road...but if your constanly going 60 you start to day dream therefore you get dickheads running red lights n hitting people. Eg. Rocky the la porchetta owner. Anyways fck the government. Enuff from me.

They will always bug us in our lil rice burners. Therefore, make your car 100 per cent legal...... block off the blow off valve so you get that fully sick flutter, and flutter the shit out of the car next to cops. Thats what i do, after i got done 3 times and pulled over 9 times. All "random" checks of course. :D

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)

      It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
