if you dont tell them they wont know as long as your mail is forwarded to you from qld, legally you have 3 mths to change your address and therefore your licience, if you dont get pulled over twice by the same cop in that time you should be ok.

You'll find what you need to know at VicRoads info for interstate drivers

if you dont get pulled over twice by the same cop in that time you should be ok.

Police have this amazing thing called technology.

They use it to keep a record of licence & vehicle checks.

The first time you get pulled over, licence details will be taken.

They will ask for your address.

They will ask how long you've been in the state.

Regardless of who pulls you over next, they will have all the details of your previous contact.

You can drive anywhere you like for as long as you like but you must live in QLD .

If you move to another state to live you must get a licence there as soon as practicable but within 3 months .

Nothing to stop you working in VIC and living in QLD for as long as you like !!

Someone told me the situation may be different cause im with the military and i have to move around alot neways and i wont have to abide by the power to weight law either. Not sure if this is true or not.

what I meant by that post was if your address is in qld and they pull you over in vic they are none the wiser where you live because your licence says you live in qld, but if the same cop does it he may click to it, BUT he has to prove that you live there and not just visiting twice, its a case of how much you push the limits and how much they notice you, I know that when I was in the Army the cops let it slide as they tend to support the armed forces. (or whatever as I dont know what cops think)

the cops cannot really do anything. u're allowed to drive around with your licence for 3months. say u go bak to qld for a holiday or something(within the 3months), the current 3 months defaults and starts over again. it makes sence coz for e.g. u might have cousins living in Vic and visit them every christmas or something. for the cops to accumulate/note down the amount of time u've spent in Vic is crazy. u dont live there and shouldnt have to change ya licence, rego over etc.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
