If your so worried about what's legal & what's not, excessive revs, speed, noise, loss of traction are all illigal, so why not buy a Honda instead?

Make sure it's an Auto Honda Jazz, then buy RAYS extended lug nuts and install bucket seats from a Type-R.. don't forget the tow hooks front and back.. real JDM look & feel.. restecpa

Haha with chrome tail lights and chrome vault 17's...?

Op, they will never make it illigal to sell mods, people will usually mod a car before they register it with CAMs etc. you can't relate it to gun / drug laws because their directly related to safety. A blow off valve is not.

I understand where you're coming from but there are heaps of laws and restrictions in place unrelated to "safety". Like age restrictions on purchasing scratchies and lottery tickets. Age restrictions for viewing movies and tv shows. You have to show ID just to purchase a SIM card, how is that related to safety?

That's a bit naive perhaps.

Scratchies and lottery tickets is gambling. Gambling is restricted to adults, so that children with young, immature, plastic brains do not learn bad habits and become problem gamblers. Same with adult content in movies and TV shows. ID to purchase a SIM card is to try to keep the population under control - it's a matter of being able to police the use of technology that can facilitate crime and terrorism. Sure, they probably go over the top, but the natural tendency of any democracy is to strangulate itself with laws and regulations designed to "protect" the populace from itself, even if they don't really need it.

The very last thing anyone should be doing is advocating restrictions on ANYTHING that doesn't already have it and doesn't need it. Performance modification parts, etc, definitely fall into that category.

You have to show I.D because say for example you make a death threat or bomb threat with the number/sim card, they can trace it back to you.

Similar to if you were a drug dealer, sending text msgs back and forth about you 5kg of cocaine you want to offload, they can track/follow you.

Not related to safety at all..

You do relise that 000 calls can be made from a mobile without a simcard.

And if someone was desperate enough they could use someone else's simcard, its not hard ive lost two mobiles in my time. Or perhaps attempt to use someone else's ID. Again thats not hard considering people lose their wallet's alot.

I purely made this forum to get an understanding as to why something illegal on our streets was significantly available to anyone. Not just those who use it for track purposes. Regardless of weather its safe or unsafe is irrelevant because it still is illegal.

U do realise no one would be stupid enough to call 000 to make a bomb or death threat, which was the example Kane used. He's right not only can sims be used to track calls, texts and phone tapping, it can also be used as a GPS tracker. Many people have been convicted of murder, from the evidence of there phone signal being in the vicinity of the crime scene.

While i c u have a point, at the same time its a good thing its not made illegal because why would we want to make it harder on us. I've always wondered when the speed limit is 110 then why the hell do cars can reach 300km/h, when a $100 speed limiter is all that it would take to enforce that law. It's because cars that reach that speeds will seel more, they make more tax, more jobs at holdens etc and then more revenue from speeding over the limit.

Some things are kind of whack yes but it's a good thing we can stil buy go fast bits, so not actually sure why u brought this topic up , weather u wanted to mod you're own car with a BOV and timer or just spark a heated debate

Where did I mention calling triple zero? I could be referring to making a bomb threat at your local KFC... Any person with half a brain would call their phone company and block their SIM card yeah?

Why is Marijuana so readily available?

Why are guns so easy to buy?

Like I said, worst thread on SAU..

Are you 12?

I thought school had resumed??

      From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.

      If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      It sounds "expensive" when compared to a mass produced tow bar that gets imported from China, but if that's all custom fabrication, then I think where you've ended up, it's a pretty good price! Considering some people will pay thousands of dollars for a few intercooler pipes to be welded up!

      I think modifying any car, has to be because you like it, OR, you have an end goal to do XYZ. EG, build the fastest VW Golf in the country etc. So, if you're not setting out to do crazy things like break a specific record, or replicate some certain car, then as mentioned above, find the car that you really like, and modify it. Why? Well, modifying any car isn't a sound logical thing to do it. You do it for the fun of it. And if you want it to be fun, you need to start with something you really like. For some, that would be something like an R34 because they saw one in The Fast and The Furious franchise, for others it'll be something entirely different for some other reason. For me personally, why am I here, nearly 20 years later? I loved cars, all cars, and I wanted a car that drove a certain way, I was about to drop the coin on modifying a VR Commodore (Because I grew up in a family that taught me Commodores were the only cars worth owning). And just before I did that, a friend handed me the keys to an R33 GTST he'd just bought that was pretty much bone stock, it drove EXACTLY how I wanted a car to. Nice handling, the right amount of straight line zoom zooms, and hell, I loved the way it looked. I looked at the R32, it wasn't for me, I looked at the R34, it wasn't quite for me either, mainly because they were too expensive  Price is also why I never bought a GTR back in the day. But I loved the curves of the R33 GTST, interior suited me over the R32, and wambam, thank you ma'am! I bought one. And in the essence of "return on investment" and "Sound financial planning", I've been making the dumbest mistakes ever since. Also, I know of a specific mortgage broker on these forums who has a very well modified R33 GTST making great power for the street and track... Then you could modify it with adding a Samsonas gearbox, Bosch motorsport ABS system, and go have some sick fun! Oh, and then you'll be able to help him get me my next mortgage, because that, like modifying a car, is probably a stupid financial decision for me at this moment the property I want...
