Recently got new wheels and tyres and waited til late tonight (went out the door around 12:10) to see how the car handles with the wider rubber and slightly higher ride height. Had a fine time and was happy with grip (need to lower it and get better suspension and a sway bar though), came hammering up the highway, not a car in sight, dodged a friggen sheep on the road at the top of 4th (car is stock aside from a POD) and thought ok that means time to go home. Straight lined a deserted round-about and then got pulled over and told i'll "probably be sent an infringment notice for 80km in a 60 zone" I asked to see the camera reading which he couldn't provide as he used the 'keep distance and even speed and wait for me to pull away then guess my speed technique' Which i know is legit as a mate of mine is a cop in another Vic town. I honestly have no idea how fast I was going, probably more like 90. I'm not disputing the fine at all I'm just annoyed as we all are if/when we get a speeding fine.

I also understand that he's doing his job and that speeding is dangerous and especially near intersections/round abouts so don't turn this into a debate =D Just annoyed =\ I even waited til later when there's no traffic and it's quiet and used quiet out of the way roads =\ Driving as a hobby is hard soemtimes, there's not an abundance of track days at Winton either so that doesn't help =\

Anyone know what the going rate for 20k's over is $$ wise? Something like $200 or is it more? I've had two tickets 2-3years ago for minor less than 10k's over by accident speeding fines so points wont be a problem.

Anyone know the rates?

Time for bed.

Sorry to say, but theres your probalem right there mang.

I hate to use 'should've done this...' posts but you should've waited until the next track day :P

Yeah I know I should've waited. I'll wear the fine, I don't dispute that at all, just felt like ranting =\ It would be nice if there were more places to drive fast safely and more often though.

Cheers CLN - not too bad then =) Still, $210 could be worse. Though I could've spent that on a sway bar like I was planning =\

I thought even if they paced you, they still needed to provide evidence? Don't police car speedometers have a hold function or something where it can keep the needle at the same point so they can show you or something? I always thought if they refused to provide evidence at the road side then you can dispute the fine...

Im no lawyer though, so dont take my word for it

No idea 0_o Mate of mine is a Vic cop and I've asked him for his advice, either way they seen me straight-lining the round about so I'll have to wear the fine. =( No-one wants to pay it for me do they =D

silly silly silly boy, late at nite, when cops see a car, they are gonna eagle eye it as there isnt much traffic late at nite. Your more likely to get pulled over for no reason to.

What your cop mate said is totally legit

they dont have to provide you with any evidance.

They wil say we were pacing u for x amount of time ant x speed, here is your fine, have a nice day.

There is a certain amount of distance they have to test your speed tho. Its not like whoa looks like he is speeding lets get him. Im sure they record it in their journals or what ever that x car got caught doing x kms over the speed limit.

Thats just how it is.

Im all for speeding fines and things. Speed cameras ... meh in certain spots, bottom of a hill n just dodgy places r gay. and useless spots like on the fwy to geelong or hume, etc.

i try not to speed, i do tho, and i wont be happy if i get a fine. But what can u do.

Although i hate fines u get for say 4 over the limit :P

remember kids, if your going to speed make sure you have a pregnant woman in the car, or someone

who looks like they may be pregnant :P

'nothing to see here officer, just off to the hospital'

speeding though... tsk tsk tsk

you think that's bad? I got 2 fines within 1 hour on the West Gate Freeway last month, one for 4km/h over the limit ($131 + 1 demerit point) and another for 12km/h over ($230 + 3 points) literally 45 minutes later -- both by new hidden speed cameras. you got off lucky :/ never had any speeding fines before, or even been pulled over before!

4ks.....thats friggin harsh mate, you deserve pity for that one :D

I got done doing 127, 3points, kick ass fine but the thing is I was followin anther car he was in the right hand lane and I was two lanes in to be safe i was 100 mts behind as well, only one flash and it was me, go figure.

10kph - 24kph $210 3 points

In a 110kph zone by 20kph, but less than 25kph $210 3 points automatic One month suspension...

What the?!?! so doing 80 in a 60 zone is safer and receives a lower penalty than doing 130 in a 110 zone?

Go figure.. and I thought WA was bad!

Just got done on the weekend for chirping through the gears in my GTR (first and second) and I wasn't speeding just got to 100 bloody quickly. Got me for $240 (undue noise) and 2 points (I thnk) Yes $240! Antihoon squads my ass, revenue raising *end rant*

Now I've got that out of my system, just pisses me off

As the officer was writting my ticket out a HSV 6.0 litre job did exactly the same thing and took off quickly up to 100 on the same street. When he walked over to hand me the ticket I inquired why they weren't taking his details down. The officer seriously replied "You were in a whole different league to that guy" I tried to not smile. :O

Anyway I got caught.

I have to pay $240

I have to explain it to the missus

I have to rant

Guest Mashrock

no scientific proof??

i didnt think that held up in court.. i know my mates got away many times of cops saying he was speeding with no proof.

unless youve admitted to speeding.

then comes down to the song by looptroop

"one more story I don't hesitate to glorify

rule number one you gotta learn how to lie

deny everything 'cause the best evidence

actually comes from your own statements so,"

TOY33: that' sucks man, I feel for ya =\

Mash: Yeah the more people I talk to, the more confident I am that I wont see shit in the mail, will keep you guys posted.

In other news, my Nismo leather gear knob arrived today and it looks and feels like VICTORY! Now just gotta decide where to put the pattern sticker so I dont get booked for that...

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
