MAN!!! they are getting picky...

I just dropped my mum off at work just then in erindale..

Stopped in the Taxi Zone for bout 5.6seconds and as i went to leave cops were like "YOU SEE YOU OVER THERE"

Andrew,

Dude are you serious?? Was the taxi stop even full???

What a load.

The a-holes are very picky about that taxi stop infront of Erindale.

And Erindale appears to have become/or is becoming the new modded car spot. I go to the gym on Mondays and Wednesdays and afterwards, bout 9, all you can hear are exhausts and screeching wheels.

The police now frequent Erindale on the hunt for douchebags.

AS the saying goes with FARTS. whoever smelt it dealt it. The same in your case and mine mate. U Broke the law now be prepared to pay for ur consequences. Oh and take my advice dont bother trying to get them to release it early cause u got no chance. I have tryed payed my fee was in the court room for 5 mins and the judge said NO.

I feel ur your heartache about not having your car. I get mine back on the 7th of July ( I HOPE). Listen all i am trying to say they wouldnt have taken ur car away for nothing. Maybe u dont have a previous record with the police but how do u know that the guy who owned it before you didnt get busted a few times?

AND another thing. WTF is a 17 year old doing in a skyline???? Wouldnt it be better off for you to buy a smaller cheaper car??? i dont know ur circumstances mate but seeing ur so young and u have a car that stands out, expect to get picked on by the cops. not bagging u out just trying to get some logic here. anyway enough of me. i hope u get ur car back and everything goes well.

Andrew,

Yeah man, his mum had to go over and sort it out.

Who picks of people dropping off their mums, I mean seriously!

My mum would open up a can of whoop ass on them hehe :kick:

As long as the kid has his head screwed on right.....I don't see this as a problem.

Ewan that was completely un called for and not relevant!

Dude, if you're going to take a stab at me, at least spell my name right, i mean, it's not hard, it's right next to all my posts.

And just for that, you get a:

Right back at ya, whats makes you so big seriously

you don't get it do you they do impound cars that easy now, thats there job to impound any car that breaks traction whats so ever

why do you even drive a skyline if all you do is whinge about people driving them hard.

Now i will probably appoligise for this post in the future but at the moment all i keep seeing is you having a go at people

Yer i guess thats all true but they said the guy gave a statement and the mark left on the road was enough evidence to take my car and i wasn't allowed to do anything about it and no i have never been caught for a burnout and my car has never been in the impound lot before.

I thought it was pretty much Australia wide that for a first time seizure you lost your car for 48 hours, then if you were silly enough to do it again you'd lose the car for 3 months.

i must admit, i kinda know were the police are coming from with this new law but i think it has been taken a little bit far because it has seems to have be targeted at us in particular

i was picking up someone from the scene of a car crash a few days ago and when the police turned up they did their job for about 35 second, they checked everyone involved was alright and the they start looking at my car and start acusing me of being the person they were chasing earlier in the day

but nothing came of it once they finally realised how dificult it would have be for me to be out running the cops on on side of town and at work on the other

there isnt a single person who can say that these laws havnt been made to target us, but in saying that i would be rather pissed off is some idiot killed me or someone i know because he got his car sideways and discovered he didnt know how to drive half way through the corner

the law is suposed to be there to make us think twice about were we go driving for fun

if you want to drive like that find some were you can do it without geting reported that way the only person who gets hurt if you make a mistake is yourself

and for those of you who say you dont do it or why do it at all are just are lying if they say they have never broken the law in their car

skylines were not designed to be driven around like its a kia carnaval(which is more likly to cause a crash anyway)

thats just my oppinion correct me if im wrong

I think what Ewen is trying to say is, if you get caught doing something that constitutes a burnout or neg driving, then you accept whatever punishment you get. If you get caught speeding you can't say "I wasn't really speeding THAT much". If you get caught losing traction, no matter how little, you still did....

Allow me to clarify.

Yes, it sucks that your car/cars have been taken away, i can empathise with that.

But i have no sympathy what so ever. You do a burnout, you speed, you commit a crime, you know full well the consequences, and can't complain when something happens.

Know, it sounds as though they're being really strict at the moment, so my advice, would be lay low. And no, i'm not saying people shouldn'y drive a car hard, but my idea oh what 'hard' is obcviously varies from yours. You don't need to be sideways or fishtailing up a street to be driving hard. In fact i'd say you had no control of your car if this was the case.

Any way, i digress. I'm only having a bit of fun and trying to get a bite, it's not my fault everyone agreed.

I agree with Mark... a law is a law, yes half of them suck, but theyre in place and you have to obey them, otherwise be prepared to wear the consequences. It is -YOUR- responsibility to make sure "accidental" breakages of the law dont happen. If it states that a loss of traction will cause your car to be impounded, well I sure as hell know im going to make extra effort not to lose traction as I dont want to lose my car...

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
