Sorry to freak u out dude, I'm sure it was at some stage 30k's over=reckless but that was back in the day when P's were only for a year n shit. Man I've had my licence for 20 years, makes a fella feel old as my oldest boy is about a month away from his licence :D

OK NVM, those are the new penalties starting from March 1. But I have a question, if the fine is processed at a later date and arrives AFTER March 1st, it will still be under the old penalty as the incident happened before right?

More than 29 km/h but not more than 40 km/h

Was $350 Now $700

Yes it will be under the old penalty.

Australian laws are not retrospective. So you would be penalised by the current amount. Not the amount after March 1st.

This is the first I've heard of these new penalties... glad to see they inform the public of these changes so well. Down the bottom of that link it says the ad campaign (which officially comprises of a single press release) started on the 23rd of February. Just one week of advertising via a single press release what are supposed to be new deterrents to stop road fatalities? Gotta love the government. Conveniently just in time for march madness too!

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
