Hey guys I have a Final Notice traffice infringement due today (this is the 2nd slip of paper sent in the mail). Now the thing is I get points back on Sept 24th, enough that I wouldn't lose my licence by paying this fine. My question is after the Final Notice fine what do they send next? Another increased fine which says pay or loss of licence or something? Or do they just take your licence straight off you at this point for non-payment or something like that?

Please comment out of experience/fact if possible and not conjecture, thanks for your assistance all.

Not really sure as I've never left it that far, but have you read all the fine print on the infringement notice. They usually will give quite a lot of detail there. Check the back too.

Good luck with whatever happens ;)

in about a month (took 3 months to get mine) you will recieve another letter saying that you license is under suspension, as soon as you pay the fine your licence will be all good again

until you recieve that letter specifically saying you license is under suspension, even if the letter you have now says after such and such date your licence will be suspended, nothing will happen until you actually recieve a confirmation letter

no the suspension comes into play once they send u the papers, generally after you pay the fine..... Like I live in qld so rules might be slightly different (pretty sure they are the same australia wide) but just in case read the back of the fine and also call the traffic authority and just ask when the points apply and just explain the situation

hmm they take the points off you from when you commit the offence... unless you decide to take it to court.

then you face driving around without a license with out knowing it = no insurance if you are in an accident.

I've had that happen to me when I tried to play the same game at getting the most out of my points... Police pulled me over one night and were nice enough to let me drive home but said if another cops pulls me over he might not be as nice and would probably book me for driving without a license.

Just pay it

ps. buy some new shoes ;)

you are aware that the points are deducted from the date of the fine regardless of when u pay it

Incorrect.

in about a month (took 3 months to get mine) you will recieve another letter saying that you license is under suspension,

Also Incorrect.

well if u didn't have enough points at the time of the fine, then you will loose it

This was not the case for me. In QLD it may be different?

hmm they take the points off you from when you commit the offence... unless you decide to take it to court.

Yes, and No. If you are found guilty (which is either, non-fine-payment OR by a court) then the points are applied to your license to the date of the original offence. Up until the fine is paid, the points are not against your license.

The 3rd letter is a court order which you have to pay at the court and its a lot more money.

They will only take the points off you from when the fine is paid, not when the offence took place.

100% Correct.

If you want a hint of advice. Send the police a letter saying the speed zone was incorrect blah blah blah.

They will then send you a letter saying "Thanks, we're investigating it, we'll get back to you. The infringement process has stopped during our investigation"

This will take about 1-2 months.

They will then send you a letter back saying "No it wasn't, here's your fine, now go pay it"

So pay it. By then you might have gotten a few points back. It's worth the effort to not lose your license for 3 months I'd say.

Don't worry mate your not the only one! I'm just waiting for the letter to come in the mail saying "Come hand in ur licence you stupid prick."

And then Ryan experiences some 3 months worth of buses to work and back :( Maybe the money I save on petrol and car maintenance will add up to the $500 odd extra I'll be paying on insurance now!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
