Ok had my license 3 years this year

*1 point coming back to me in August :D

*3 Point fine Gt Eastern Hwy caught by Multinova

*Suppose to be 3 point fine discounted to 1 point by coppers also Gt Eastern Hwy

* 1 point fine Kalamunda Rd took for ex (dunno something about the puppy love stage makes u lose your sanity)

* 3 points lost by various multinova incidents one involving a company car.

* pulled over by coppers suppose to recieve a 6 point fine for a roll call of stuff but i was let go

* Coppers switched lights on to chase me at last minute decided not to - let go

* ^ similar to above recently - let go again

* 1 point recently Gt Eastern Hwy on way to SAU meeting at Como but the fine as come thru jus thavent paid it

END TOTAL 2 POINTS :D if it wasnt for multinovas i would be on east st :D

how do these people do it?? I mean if i relyed on coppers they are always more than generous with me and i would still have most of my points. But multinovas just kill me!!

Its just sooo easy to speed - i can tunderstand people like my parent sthat have performance vehicles then drive them around like shopping trolleys!

I've had my r33 for 15 months now and havent lost any points. The last time I lost points was about 4 years ago when a cop car caught me doing 90 in a 60 zone, but as I pulled over for him and stopped and waited for him to turn around and get out of traffic he only gave me a $150 fine and 3 points. Most of my driving occurs in peak hour traffic, so I dont get the chance to thrash it much, when I do its late at night and I try and pick the roads I know there wont be any multinova's on etc... but you never know where the cops are... just luck I havent lost any points as I've had the r33 up to 200km/hr (at least I assume seeing as the tacho reads out to 180km/hr) :D

Hi all,

how many of you out there have a Skyline/fast import and still have all 12 points?  

pfft fast import. look at my car. u dont need to be fast to lose points :)

actually most of my lost points have happened in my mums Toyota Starlet..... all up i have lost 9 but i start getting em back soon.

*Lost 1 - doin 71 in a 60 zone (multinova)

*Lost 3 - doin 80 in a 60 zone

*Lost 4 - doin 120 in a 70 zone (actually got done for a fair bit more but policeman was nice and dropped the speed and reduced the points to 4)

*Lost 1 - 61 in a 50 zone (multinova)

Thankfully though i have corrected my speeding ways and havent had a single fine since November 2001. Mostly i have just been lucky though :P I do have to say that i regret losing all those points cause now insurance hates me and i cant even get a job as a bus driver plus it works out to almost 600 bucks wasted just on fines :( . ne way thanx for listening

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
