As the title suggests got my 1st speeding ticket - and i had a bet with my brother that i could go through my whole Ps without one... :P

Nice cop but way better than the way they treat you on the gold coast pulled me over i said good afternoon officer got booked for doing 79 in a 60 zone (I was in a really big rush) on limestone ave near the war memorial

said that he'll drop it down to under 15km so $133

Funny when I called dad up but to tell him, 1st thing he said - you have to go see magistrate? said no, reply was im doing better than him (used to own a nice fod coupe with a worked chev)

So thats that! and i can assure you that i learnt my lesson - now i have to wait till ANOTHER pay day to get the HICAS lock bar :(

I know someone that drove a new vehicle back from a capital city with a 7 day permit. Sped through every speed camera he could find just to frustrate the law!!! Vehicle was unregistered - with a 7 day permit - no number plates!!!! Bet the camera's took a lot of really nice photo's though.

Any of you guys responsible for this:

lol

^^ This is gold.

I got my first speeding ticket through the camera coming down through kurrajong on the bells line of road, just when they put the camera up (about 2 weeks later anywho). I opened the letter and laughed, rang the old man said "hey i got a speeding ticket", he mentioned something about going too fast and whatnot, then i mentioned "you have an envelope with exactly the same markings etc on it".

He managed to get done on the same day, just behind me (we were doing a convoy type thing to sydney).

Not a good feeling! Such a waste of money, and they are often on Limestone... you must have been in a rush!

Except I'll bet you were later in the end than you would have been had you not been pulled over...

yuuup you got that right, not undercover though so yeah just dumb!

i got fined on my P's and had my license suspended for 3 months... wasn't much fun either, it was during my HSC. in those days i couldn't afford a skyline though, and any P plater who can has too much money.

Im always "in a rush" on limestone so i better watch it! Bad luck buddy ;)

that would have shut him up! ;)

I drove around for about a week with no plates when i got my skyline... i didn't purposely speed thru any cameras...but the thought did cross my mind that they wouldnt be able to get me if I did ;)

Haha yeah i did the same, but i figured i'd be the dude with an unregistered maroon skyline flying thru all the speed cameras, then 2 weeks later i'd be the only dude registering a maroon skyline, and somehow it would get back to me.

Very unlikely to happen, but still.

~200 rwkw for a < 20 year old is scary.

Unless you grew up karting or something...

oh i can tell you that I have learnt my lesson from a few close ones, lets just say im carfull when putting down the put - especially with how scared mum is! funniest thing is that my younger brother's nicknamed the car "the widow maker" shes goes off like no tomorrow

If it makes u feel better i got done doing 100 across dairy flat yesterday , they got with a gun on the side on the road , it was the 4th speed trap i had been through within an hour , but i was doing the wrong thing and the cop were good about it , only took them 2 minutes to give me the ticket

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
