i love teh powlice ;)

only thing i ever got done for was speeding a few times very late at night with no other cars around.

sif do burnouts and shit :D

Ferah - yeah this thread will probably be turned into a "my new car" thread sometime next week :D

thats when suspension ends. but i'll probably get it on friday/monday?

oh and full license on the 18th :D

Not likely..

When my suspension ended, 3 month suspension and they didn't send me my license back.

Rocked up to VIC Roads 1 week after suspension finished and asked for my license back, they said it gets sent to Kew. So I'm like well call Kew because I want it back, I can't drive without it..

They called Kew and they'd lost it?

Wanted me to pay for a new one..

Abused the lady good and she did a replacement for me, no charge as they lost my old one.

Suspension of P plates adds another 6 months to the total time for your P's. My probationary license was suspended for 1 month and when I got it and it added 6 months onto the total time on my P's.

I know a friend (he also knew another person) which had the EXACT same 'story' told to him! How they are able to continue to do that is beyond me.

I dont think thats true, i know 3 or 4 ppl who have had there licences suspended for 1,3,6 and 18 months and none of them ahd any time added onto their probationary licence. My old best mate just got his licence back after loosing it for 15 months he has it for a month then looses it for another three and he turns 21 durning the next three months and vic roads told him that when finishs his next suspention he'll get his full licence. He thinks he's fully sick way to loose 26 points in 2 months.

The only time they add time on is when you actully loose your licence and have to start your p's agian and that only happens if you get done for drink driving

In my experience (not personally), the length of the ban is added onto the duration of the P's. If you are banned for 1 month, that is added on. So in real driving time you are still having 3 years however you might be 24 when you get off of them.

LOL at Ni too! :D

Its because VIC Roads is a joke!!

And as far as I know my 'P' plates have not been extended even with my 3 month suspension.

My lincese says it expire exactly 3 years from when I got it (when I turned 18). If it was extended would it expire 3 months later from the original issue date?

I got done doing 120 in an 80 zone when I was in the first year of my P's. Stupid now that I think of it. Either way, the cop let me off easy for first offence and gave me a one month suspension. However when they re-issued my license, the date which my probationary license ended was extended for 6 months. No alcohol involved, no other cars, no accident, just the speeding. This was about 6 years ago.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
