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

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
