2 DAYS AGO, SATURDAY --- man i got done 2 times in one day for lousy reasons... got the first fine @7.30am, for a missing p-plate on da back.. but still had the front one!.. got the second one on the same day but at midnight, for doin a u-turn at the lights :s dude got me a defect too :( so here is the deal..im losing 4 points once i pay these fines, and at the moments i got 2 points! BUT im geting 3 points back in a week!!!! so in a week time, i'd have 5 points on my licence, coz i haven't paid the fines yet.. i know that the points will only be deducted when you pay the fines.

so if i wait n pay my fines after i recieve some of my points back DO U REKON MY LICENCE WILL STILL GET SUSPENDED?? bcoz da date of offence was at the time when i had 2 points..

thanks for reading

When is the fine due?

Surely you can wait 1 week (Ring RTA Again, this time ask how many points you have) then pay the fine THEN see if you are "suspended" or not.

RTA Sends a reminder letter to you telling you to pay the fine. (You usually get 1-2months extra if you do not pay the first time around.)

i have like 2 months to pay da fines.. i already know.. n I GET 3 MORE POINTS BEFORE THE FINE IS DUE so i would have a total of 5 points in a week or so. n da fines will cost me 4 points. so LOGICALLY i should be left with one point once i pay the fines after i gained my 3 points... but da rta chik on da phone said that da 4 points im losing will be deducted from the 2 points i have at the moment, coz at da date i was fined i only had 2 points. :( so ye she rekons i'll be suspended lol.. sorry if it all sound abit comfusing.. u might have to readup again

thanks

I think you would be fine so long as you make sure your fine is not payed before the other points are removed.

To be on the safe side fill out the court election and then pay the fine a couple of months later.

And Da is not a word, it is THE, unless you are a gangsta black american rapper.

bad news mate they will backdate to the date of the fine, so if you lose 4 points in fines and on that day and you only have 2 points they will be sending you a suspension letter,if your fully licenced you can opt for the probationary licence,2 points for 12 months

for the last time you don't have points that get deducted. you start with zero and you accumulate demerit points. so I'm assuming you are on your ps which means you can incur a maximum of 4 demerit points before loosing your licence. you have 2 points currently. you plan to go for your green ps before paying your fines which allows you to incur 7 demerit points. just do it. you have nothing to lose. if you are wrong then you will lose your licence. but if you pay them now you lose it anyway so what's the difference?

oh yeh okay man i think i get ya.. i'm actually due for my full licence. yeh well how else i should say it.. ok i say it this way.. in a week time im going to drop 3 demerit points.. i already got 2 to go then + 3 =5. the fines i got 2 days ago, r due in a month or so, which when paid off, they will gain me 4 demerit points :P so doin the maths it'd be 5-4=1 :) i get 1 point left to go right? no suspension hopefully! lol im too optimistic maybe

If you pay the fine after you get your full licence you should be fine. I was in a similar situation, and i waited until after I got my blacks to pay the fine and I still have my licence. That was over 6 months ago. The RTA even sent me a letter saying I was running out of points (or had too many, however you want to put it) but that was based on the 12 you can have on a full licence. The offence that put me over the limit for points on green p's was for a missing p plate as well, so it's not as if they wouldn't have noticed that it happened before I got my full licence.

but how long ago was this?

I'm 99% sure they backdate it now.

Points are accumulated, but (my reasoning) for ppl saying they are 'losing' points is because the media still refers to it as losing demerit points. This implies you had points to begin with, which you dont.

From memory, in the double demerit weekend ads, the voice over dude says '...lose 6 points...'.

another example: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22502...from=public_rss

...and the loss of 12 licence points...

It was earlier this year...

They may have changed it, I'm not sure. But when I was doing it, people were telling me that it wouldn't work and it did. May as well try it

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
