i'm just wondering where the evidence to back power/weight is for "imports" besides the R32 GTR?

it's the only "import" listed at vic roads, cos it was the only one sold locally.

^^^^ thats very true

actually a mate of mine has a twin turbo soarer and said he has gotten away with it many times

he muttered something about it being a japanese import and something or rather

i never belived him.. but i never noticed this until you pointed it out

Pettett is a weak prick....i tried playing mr nice guy but that didnt work so then i started getting full smart right to his face.......the look on his face was so funny i dont think many people tell him to go f**k himself! Big deal $110 fine.......i dont think its within their jurisdiction to not let me drive the car after the fine. f**k him next time i'm driving off right infront of him and we'll see what happens. If i did the wrong thing then i'll pay the price, and if pettett's in the wrong i'll make sure my lawyer Mr Zolis will take care of him....also i'll make sure that the ombudsman, his commanding officer and any other party that may find it remotely interesting will be notified.

yeah petit knows he's stuff.. I know when i was driving my R33 i got done a few times for power to weight ratio and when i got defected another time the police officer told me next he'll take my car off me.. wasn't speeding or nething.. Jest be careful man, its the law u cant change it and dont try to find loop holes in it!

But with that said, the ONLY time they can take ur car off you is if u are commiting a serious traffic offence, like burnouts with people around.. Smokey on nissansilvia cleared this law up.. have a read its in the VIC section..

Do what i did, sell ur R33 and get an S15 lol!

good luck and dont drive through knox!!

hi

Technically you cant drive the car after he has booked you as you are still breaking the law. he could arrest you as a police officer can arrest to stop the same offence being recommitted.If he told me not to drive it i wouldnt test him out.

Think of it this way, if you were caught drink driving and charged you cant just get the car afterwards and drive home.

my 2 cents worth anyway

      Using Trickle Chargers

      I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.

      Using Trickle Chargers

      Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.

      Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right

      Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
