A friend told me about his mates dad, he got pulled over and booked for doing 1kph over the speed limit 67kph by this traffic copper here in adelaide, mind you the guy booked is about50 yrs old, he pleaded to the cop to have a little compassion and give him a warning, but the copper said too late mate i've written the fine out, he took the fine and proceeded to go to his car and get his fine pad out..... btw he is an occupational health and safety officer, he wrote a fine out for $825 and gave it to the police officer and said, it is 8pm and you failed to wear reflective clothing so here is your fine mate, enjoy...........

Good story but... LMAO.

Yes here in SA a nice mr. moto bike police man said >=9km/h you will be fined, this was quite a few years ago now.

Really? That's better than the 10% i heard about. So 66 in 60, 88 in 80 or 110 in 100. Then again looking at that they all fall almost within the 9km/h :D

Yer not sure about the 10% this was quite a few years ago, I think over 5yrs as that was my last speeding ticket. :D Never received one in the skyline. :D

The moto cop said 9km/h over in a 60. I actually did 78 but he marked it down to 69 just to be a nice bloke. lol. :P

Busky in Vic, I think it's anything over 3km with the radar camera. I got my first speeding fine ever in Melb 2 months ago doing 106 on their 100kph highway. Damn Victorian system tainted my clean driving record :D

For him to write such a fine he need to be an Workplace Services inspector and yes I think he can legally do this but not sure about the 800+ fine. I know a couple of them in SA. They are quite powerful in the work force. They can do a lot more damage than just a simple fine. The story is quite inspirational and it's a great method to pay back dodgy workshop that rip you off guys. Just call the inspector or Workplace SA and make report on unsafe activities/tools that you see in the workshop. If there are enough reliable reports they will come down to investigate/issue improvement or prohibition notices :D

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
