Hay, that Rolla cops it! Foot flat, hit rev limiter, go to 2nd, hit rev limiter, go to drive! I drove a GTS-X for 6 months! I am nowing driving VN 5ltr. I speed EVERYWHERE! Just lucky I think!

heeh well i got outta a 6point fine too I was tailgating an unmarked police car, 80 in a 60 zone, 80 in a 40 zone and i must admit to wearing a very short skirt that day haha

I have a radar detector but even thats not going to save you at more than 10kms over the speed limit. They just dont give enough warning.

Gotta agree with Dan and GST-T VSpec, guys very rarely get let off for anything, while a female friend of mine was left off for 120 in a 60 zone while on P's a few years back. I get busted for 5kms over the speed limit in a 100 zone. LOL

Well all this talk about fines and points... bah, got pulled over today by a cop with a radar gun on my way to work... 73km in a 60km zone, $100 fine and 2 demerit points... bah :D Least he didnt say anything about my intercooler, chopped front bar and number plate stuck to one side :P

First 12 months of having a license (in a 95 lancer)

1 point speeding (70 in a 60)

3 points speeding (90 in a 70)

6 points speeding (160 in a 100) $350.00

I have lost my license a couple of times over the years but not recently. My demerit points tend to hover around 6 - 11. I tend to get got by multinova's doing 70 in a 60 zone ...you know those crazy duel carriageway 60 zones that could pass for freeways.

Anyhow ...I am convinced it all depends on how much driving you do. I do about 30,000 km a year so I guess my exposure to multinova's is greater than the average person who drives to work and stays there.

lost 12 points and licence in the first year of owning the car (92 n/a silvia) , lost licence for 3 months, and they gave me another year of p's when i got the licence back.

Lost licence roughly another year after that.

Lost 3 point during that time before they came round to get my licence, so i was down to 9 before i even started driving again.

Lost another 3 for some stupid 50kmph cr*p.

Crashed silvia in freak driving mishap at collie racetrack.

No fines whatsoever in skyline since, i think i'm a changed man.

:)

still speed though...

Damo.

    • 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.
