i dont believe this to be the case which goes for the same as plates/licence because they have no authority/jurisdiction for it....This is why they push for a change of plates/licence in any given state

This is also the same for truck drivers which is why they have now been moved to an National licence to avoid the issue.

This is also the same for local HWP etc as they can not book/fine/defect outside their jurisdiction of given area/lac

Well it's simple really, drive on our roads u should be obeying our rules..

Fines aren't mandatory for a defect here, I've copped a couple and never had a fine with ine

They can I think but they don't because it's too much hassle for them, same with speeding and other road/traffic offences like mobiles etc

Truck drivers are on a different page as they are on national licences as you mentioned, and it's the rta/vicroads etc that chase them more, cops only try get them for speeding/drugs

HWP can book anywhere I got done more than 50mins from a HWP's jurisdiction, If they want to they will pull you over

Yeah road rules to be obeyed etc is common sense.... But more concerned if i drive through one of these stupid Hoon Squads and get pulled up for being a criminal due to driving an improved production car :P that ill get hassled like in NSW

  • Like 1

im all for obeying the rules! not what im getting at

Lol yeh I know, imjussayin

And chances are as nick said, its too much hassle for them so they just don't bother, they'll pull you over to waste your time but for them to write you up a defect is a waste of their time..

What will essentially happen here, is a stake out where no industrial drifters turn up, so you have a bunch of bored out of their brains police standing in designated areas for 3 hours, who need to show that the operation was a success. Along come the hapless enthusiasts meeting for a cruise...bam...they find their scapegoat and something to do for the next 2 hours because writing defects for ridiculously arbitrary items is better than standing around, waiting hours for people who do illegal shit to turn up...and never come...because VicPol intelligence is an oxymoron.

Obviously revenue is down and most people are folliwng the rules, so why not bash the car scene for more cash to feed the governments hands with money to be wasted on BS, who line there pockets for there own gain and let our industries crumble under free trade agreements and sit back and go......

There is nothing wrong with...

Transport - Easy when you have a driver and car

Roads - Easy when you can get an escort

Cost of living - Easy when you are 100,000 with 20k in expenses.

Cry me a river we pay for a government that is unable to do there job or provide basic services and yet they target people who work and keep hard working Australians employeed.

Hey guys apparently it is going to be on 7 news tonight for more of an insight.

Oh yay! So now all the Anti Hoon clowns can start an uprising due to bad media :/

Oooooo create cardboard cars out of boxes and make engine/flutter noises pretending to drive them around...

Or get remote control drift cars and drive them around the area, doing burnouts etc. hehe...

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
