Thats why you get a radar detector like me... So far i haven't been done for speeding in the Skyline and like Rob my fastest speed has been 206km/h (RSM)... But in total i have lost 5 points since i've had my licence in 1999... 2 in my Volkswagon Beetle Baja, 3 in my 88' Pulsar Vector... Most recently when coming back from Kalbarri with a friend, we hadn't seen a cop in like 4 days, then he decides to point out the fact that we hadn't seen one in ages... I turn to him annoyed saying that hes jinxed the car, what happens literly 5 mins later, i cop pings me for doin 17 over the limit on double demerit points... :P

Had mes lic. for 11 years. 1 fine by a copper with a laser a long long time ago. doing 8 over in a80 zone.

Copper - Why were you speeding?

Me - Well in section three simply put overtaking smoky old bomb.

Copper - err yeah umm So we'll make it 8 over and no points then shall we?

1 point left.

disputing a bullsh!t 3 point fine which was given last year around september... still waiting *taps wood*

I think I get about 3 back by the end of november. Any ideas on prolonging my court appearance til then, as I will have points to lose without losing lic, will be appreciated :D

Funnily enough, I've not received any speeding fines in my silvia :) Ive been let off a few times tho, ie 120+ in a 60 zone (6pts!)

    • 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
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
