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

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
