Hi everyone

Had an interesting conversation today with the guy at Dept Planning & Infrastructure that takes your licenses off you (he actually remembered me which is quite scary since he has 80 - 150 case files a week)

He was telling me at parliament at the moment is sitting a new proposal in regards to the way you lose your license. Basically the new changes are if you lose your 12 demerit points then you are given a one year good behaviour period in which you are still able to drive but if you lose one or more points in this period then your license is suspended for 6 months. THey will be abolishing extrodinary licenses if this comes into play too.

do you get the option of

"once you hit 12 points you lose it for 3 months"

and "1 year good behavior or 6 months" ?

is is it strictly good behavior or 6 months loss?

because really if you have clocked up 12 points, chances are you wont be able to go 12 months with no points.

I am living proof of that, I lost mine on Easter long weekend 2004 for 3 months and haven't lost any since.

I think it should be compulsary for everyone to lose their licence early so they learn how important it is to have.

P.S. I lost mine for speeding and now I tut at people who speed when its not necessary :P, especially doing 80k's in a 70k zone, I hate the fact that 70 is too slow in those areas, but I swear EVERYONE around me overtakes me doing 80 <_<

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
