Hey Guys.. Well Ive had my R33 Gts-t for a month now and Last night i was driving home from philip Island at about 11:30pm and i got caught on Radar going 114kms in a 80kms Zone. So i got a $280 fine and a 1 month suspension of Licence. What sucks the most is that the speed limit had just gone down from 100 to 80, and the overtaking lane had just opened up about 500 meters back, There was about 15 cars in the left hand lane which were all going about 80kms when it was still the 100kms zone so i just thought i would boot it a little to get past them all.. I got past them thinking i was sweet then a cop came from knowhere and pulled me over and said " why were u going 114 in a 80 zone and i explained i thought i was only going 90( which i was when i got pulled over) turned out the cop had picked me up from 300 Meters Away ;)

What sucks the most is that i am a delivery driver for a civil supplies company and drive sometimes over 400kms a day. So tommrrow im going to have to grow the balls and front up to the bosses and explain what happned... Ahhh this sucks....... Is there any chance i can dispute the suspension?? just wondering if anyone has succesfully disputed it and came out on top.

Any replies would be great Thanks............

for work related purposes, yes. u can apply for an exemption, and it must be backed up with proof from the boss. also to add, u cannot use the car for any other purpose.

learn from your mistake and move on. u're soo lucky to get off lightly. usually, anything over 110km will incurr a massive fine + 3months licence suspension.

You were wrong, so bite the bullet. 114 in an 80 k zone is 34 ks over! It wasn't just an oops I slipped sort of thing.

If you had said oh, it was an 80 k zone and I got done doing 83, then you would have my sympathy. Just a minor slip.

Bite the bullet, and that 1month suspension. It will give you time to reflect on what you've done when you are unable to work and ahve to ride the bus.

I thought this was going to be abount cops picking on us as import drivers and defecting cars. I have full sympathy for those defected over small things.

I doubt you'd be able to get an exemption.

PS: I understand my post may seem harsh, but i have been in that situation before. I learnt from my mistake. I am not saying that I never speed, but I understand that I run the risk of getting caught.

you sped, you bite the bullet and lose your license like you deserve. Its like the, i was drag racing at a set of lights up to 160 against this other car and then i got pulled over whats their problem.

You were in the wrong, get over with it ... no sympathy from me ... live and learn.

you might wanna go on holidays with work, if you have that long, i agree 1 mth and that small fine is nothing ... you are lucky to get off so lightly these days ...

alrite everyone but Col-GTSX is being harsh

my apologies

Read my reply above and I'm sure that you'll agree that it is not harsh at all.

I understand that we get reamed by the cops for silly thigns like pod filters/bov/exhaust when it's not really causing anyone harm. I said that I have sympathy for those people.

I also said that I have sympathy for those peopel that get reamed for minor things e.g. 83k in an 80 zone.

BUT 34 ks over? that is no minor slip. That isn't like oh, I just didnt' pay attention to the speed and road. Do you know what I imagined when I read his post? 'oh, I saw this whole line of cars on the left and the lane ont he right was clear. I just got my car and like to drive fast, so I floored it to the max. Engine was blazing, exhaust was blasting as I flew past them. Cops stoped me when I was doing 114k. Damn.'

34 ks = no sympathy. You don't just slip 34 ks.

I'm sure you'll understand that my reply was not harsh. I have been in a similar situation before when I was young and first started driving. I learnt the hard way.....

Not causing any harm?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
