heya ppls...

Well once again I got busted by my best mate Mr Radar....11kms over the limit...71 in a 60...anyway this takes me to 14 points in 3 years....

I have 3 point about to expire TOMORROW!! so I'm kinda upset about that...

I heard you can wait, object then withdrawn a pay a bit extra but it sounds a bit dodgy as the date of the offence is still the 26/12...so therefore I will be over...

By my calculation thats 3+2 = 5 months of catching th train and the wife driving me on the weekend...hehe dunno whats worse...not driving the line or the ife driving me... :)

I could got he 12 months no fine option but its unlikely I would last 12 months based on history so I'm not going to consider that...so I have decided my options are:

a. Store the line int he garage work on it for 5 months...and by a slow car...some would argue I have one already as my other car an FTO... :)

b. Take it to court...not sure about this but seekeing some advice form a specialist in the area. However if its costs like 4k I could have just rented an apartment near work for only a little bit more. Plus my point will be 0 again - which would be a good thing!

c. See if the 3 points comming off from the 27/12/06 will effect the 3 points I just go on the 26/12/06. According to the rules they wont, but I guess its all up to how they ACTUALLY calulate it...rather than the rules...

Overall...kinda crap...funny thing was i wouldn't normally drive the way I did...I wa s following the GPS to see if its so called "fastest route" was better than my normal one...teach me to listen to the damn computer...

My advice : watch the speed limit...dunno but sometimes I just dont pay attention and hence I'm over 12 points...good lesson for the kids out there!

Any decent options I havn't considered?

btw MERRY XMAS every1

is 11km/h over the limit alleged or actual whatever it is. surely radar guns arent 100% accurate, u might be able to get em down to 10km/h, which will only be one point instead of 3

Chris, as far i know the point's don't take effect till the fine is payed.... i could wrong on this though.

yeh thats wot i thought as well as u dont really lose your licence till you pay the fine so hopefully the points dont kick in till then as well good luck wif it mate

Points go from the date of offence, regardless of how long you drag it out.

It "WAS" a loophole, but is since closed

VicRoads and the Vic Police are different... dont get me started on the disarray both systems are in as there is no link between em.

Buy me a beer one arvo and i'll get into it hahaha :sorcerer:

IMO - Get someone to take the points... if not. You possibly will get the options letter i think.

So 12 months with NO points, and then back to full points.

Im on that at the moment, and lucky i havent had my car. Not a point in 11 months now.

Keep the car Chris. Dont be silly.

Worst case you have to train/walk. I've done it for 6 + 3 months, its not as bad as it seems. The first month (of 6) is a killer.

3 months you dont notice.

But then, i live in Windsor, so i train 5 days a week and cab on the weekends mainly so i wasnt really affected as if i was living 30+ mins away from the city as im only 10mins away.

And even now when i drive, ive kinda grown out of it a bit. Even drivin S15's, R33's etc. I seem to have dulled my right foot out.

Hopefully that carries over too my own car.

sorry to hear, hope you sort it out

i am on the 12 month good behaviour plan as of august

the fine occured when u got booked, doesnt matter when u pay it

yeah thats right...I was wondering if by the time they run up the point 3 will have been deducted...

so the plan is to leave it until I get my new statement...delay the payment a bit and see what happens.

But...I suspect I wont be in luck...

damn 1 day!!!

hehe I was always keeping the car...it was just going to be gararged for a bit...

we will wait for the letter and see what happens...might mean I just have to drive slow all the time...no Paul Walker style for me anymore. LOL

driving within the law? its a new concept but it seems I will have to do it ...

Just when I setup the car awsome too...spools quick now to 1.3 bar and really cains...might be the reason I go the fine...Mind u this is the first fine with the r33...out of the 6!! hehe.

Damn Chris :)

I have not been in this situation, so i can't give you any advise.

Good Luck with what ever decision you choose. I know Ash knows a good traffic solicitor, maybe have a word to him to discuss your options.

      I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
