OPERATION PIPEDOWN

On Tuesday the 20th of April 2010, Operation Pipedown, targeting excessively noisy motor vehicles and safety related offences will commence. The operation will accompany a media campaign. The operation will be conducted in the Melbourne area for a two week period, concluding on Saturday the 1st of May 2010. The media campaign will commence one week before the enforcement phase of the operation, commencing on the 13th of April, 2010. This initiative will be conducted in conjunction with:

Police Media Liaison Unit,

Melbourne University Medical Faculty,

Environment Protection Authority,

Melbourne City Council,

Safe Streets Task Force,

Region 1 TMU.

It is anticipated that various community groups together with anti-noise lobby groups will be providing their support to the media campaign.

Excessively loud motor vehicles are a community disorder issue with much of the blame placed on drivers of illegally modified cars and motorcycles, or sport bikes equipped with illegal exhaust systems such as straight pipes, drag pipes or performance pipes.

Excessive noise is a serious environmental problem impacting health and well-being. The effects of this excessive noise should not be trivialized.

Excessively loud motor vehicles constitute an offence against the Environment Protection Act.

In combination with a focus on excessively loud motor vehicles, the focus will also be towards safety related offences. Offences such as: Drink Driving, Roadworthy Offences, Fail to Wear Seat Belt, Fail to Give Signal, Use Hand Held Mobile Phone While Driving.

discuss.

I'm looking forward to a crackdown on failing to give signal. I hope that includes people who put their indicator on after they've already started changing lanes.

even if you still have your stock exhaust you still get slapped with a $580 fine.

its the eaisest way for them to make money.

"oh hey there. i can hear your car. here is an EPA notice. expect a fine in the mail and if you could kindly deposit the $580 into my piggy bank that will be great"

found it. sorry to ruin your scoop but its old news now lol.

edit: i think i better put my crappy pea shooter muffler on for those couple of weeks lol.

As far as I know you don't get the fine without the proof?

I'll need someone to show me in writing rather than just a post...

if you get tested on the spot then that is good enough proof. if you havent noticed, a fair few booz bus setups have defect bins setup with little f**kers in yellow jackets with EPA stamped at the back. they will test your car on the spot and issue you with a fine as soon as its over the limit.

most will just take picture of your exhaust system and if you do the sneaky thing and change it to stocka nd get it tested, correct me if im wrong you will still get a fine. as they testers will also take pics and compare them

found it. sorry to ruin your scoop but its old news now lol.

defect notice and canarie is the same thing cos they are yellow they get called canaries

depends on the cop you might get a minor or major, if you give good wristys might even get a warning but dont count on it.. you are not likely to get a defect for your exhaust unless its too low as noise is epa not police issue but they are the ones who will report you to epa..

A noisy car is more of an issue than people constantly getting the shit bashed out of them in the CDB.

police dont care..

'Bernie Rankin' supports physical violence just look at his history.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
