also in for pg1.

so you want someone who has gotten a provisional licence for work ONLY (IE you!) to come pick you up (assuming its NOT you and you have a licence) so they can risk a 12 month TOTAL BAN on driving ..

bright one einstein - its meant for work only!

I think there was actually a ruling change kick in this year, as they worked out at long bloody last they need to get harder on drink drivers. So I dont think you (sorry your mate) can get anything now, its goneskis!

That said, you/he would have been told in court if you/he were given a work licence. So I think its safe to say no he/you dont.

sorry guys, ive never drank and drove, so stop with ya whinging keyboard warriors shyte, i was asking the question on behalf of my mate, and i do not have a licence either because of defects/hooning etc, if i was the one who did drink drive i wouldnt deny it, fair is fair, but thanks for the help anyway, and he said they didnt tell him at court as he didnt enquire about it. and chris rogers, he was the one who wanted to come pick me up, and i said its not a good idea but im not goin to stop him, because he does it with his other mates anyway, i jst wanted to let him know of the consequinces (sp?) involved.

in4pg1...your mate doesn't sound bright...tell him to ride out what small amounts left on his suspension and stop driving in case he hits one of our cars and isnt insured...coz that'll really suck....for us. Not to mention him and his total ban from driving and loss of money. Btw I dont think anyone in here is buying the whole "my friend" story!

good luck to you and "your friend"

Matt

hey the procedure of the ruling is this

your caught for drink driving,

police give you a suspension notice for 24hours (aslong as its not a high blood alocohol concentration level)

If it is a high level, you will be suspended up until court date.

you can apply to have you licence up until court, if your suffering from severe hardship, and qld transport will give you a replacement licence with the X4 condition,

When comes time to court, depending on if you need your licence for work, and suffering severe hardship work, they will either issue you with a work licence for a period of time and qld transport will reissue you with a provisional licence( which you hold for 12 months, then goes back to an open licence after that) and with the X1 condition.

X1 condition is you have to obide by the letter given to you by the courthouse regarding the work licence and when you can drive etc.

You can apply to have the X1 condition removed when the restricted licence is finished, and qld transport will take another happy snap free of charge.

If you cant apply for a work licence, then your just disqualified for a period of time, and just go back to qld transport to have your licence reissued once its finished. You will still go back to a provisional licence for 12 months. If you are already on a provisional licence when your caught for DUI, the time remaining for when you go to an open gets extended obviously from the time you were disqualified for.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
