Hey guys...

Expecting to lose it soon for about 3 or 6 months... not sure.

Anyway I've just purchased my PS3 with Gran Turismo 5 & have the Logitech G25 steering wheel on order...

I have a girlfriend which conveniently drives... :D

What do u guys think? Will i go insane..? I work in the city and go by train anyway...

...Forgot to ask, anyone have any good legal aid contacts in relation to these sought of cases??

Use the time to reflect WHY you lost the priveledge to drive in the first place :D

i reckon it would suck to not drive & being dependable with relatives/other half etc to be driven around.

I havent lost my license as such (touch wood) but am just saying imagine you wanna go to this & that places & cant go

cos no license....then u miss out big time lol

but yeh it would suxorz :D lol

I actually like losing my license... I normally garage the car and just work on it! It is actually pretty fantastic :D

But when that happened I could have walked to work (2kms away) but still got a lift, and happen to be in a car club :)

Saved a shit tonne of money and had a ball being productive on the car!

And whenever I went out it would be drinks somewhere, so I couldn't drive anywhere anyway...

^^ lmao thats one way to look at it.

im about t lose my license too, i lost 3 points for not having p plates up and another 3 for talking on mobile (it was on handsfree speaker i thought it was legal to talk on handsfree in the car, eg blutooth headset thing is legal?)

i dont know what im going to do once i have lost it =/

for me it was like loosing a leg. made it alot harder getting to places. learnt my lesson and spared heaps of k's on the engine...ha. but getting on the piss and taking the last train home sucks balls.

+1

YUP thats true.

I lost mine last month and still got 2 more to go :D got done for speeding ;) ..

it does feel like you have no legs and very inconvenient eg. late at night you feel like a kebab

and you cant drive + everyones sleeping..unless you wanna risk it ;)

save you heaps of money on petrol i reckon and games will help for a while ^_^

GL mate

i didnt lose my licence. but was without a ride for 4 months due to major modifications. the first month is the WORST.

but even though i hated it and missed driving, after the first month u kind of get into a rythem and get used to it.

BUT NEVER EVER AGAIN... dont lose your liscence again :/

I lost mine for 6 a few months back.. It was NOT fun.. The first 3 months seem to fly by, but those extra 3 really take a while..

And i might be losing it again soon as I've been in and out of court 3 times now (Won every time) But, after that 5 points loss or w/e for the 6 month fine I have/am/might be on 0 points, and a few weeks ago.. of all things I got 2 points for doing a U-turn on a quiet Thursday night at 10pm with not a soul in sight.. Except the cop who just happened to be coming around the corner down the road as I made my turn :/

I'm not sure how this is going to play out, as it's so covenient having the car for uni as I can sleep in longer.. But meh, anything is better than 6 months..

And petrol is so dam expensive now anyway meh, might give me time to save up and play around with the car a bit.

Bah, you're complaining about losing your licence for 3 or maybe six months?

I haven't had a licence for almost 2 years and still have 10 months to go!! It sure does suck but you sort of get used to it. I ride my push bike now when i can't get lifts, at least i'm getting fit!

you can apply for the 1 year good behaviour thingy

Thats what i am doing.

Bloody took a trip to Tassie,had a hire car, didnt realize they do not warn you about upcoming speed cameras.Lost 6 points in a space of 30mins.

Got back to Sydney and a week later got the fines in the mail.Two days after that i crashed the skyline trying to get the hospital where my missus was.There went another 3 points in neg driving.Fark what a great week that was.

Try and get a Good Behaviour Bond or a Special Hardship Order. Im on a SHO now and I can only drive to and from work and to and from uni but its better than nothing. Theres a few ways around losing the license so do your research and don't just lay down and take it. I appealed my second offence and that alone got me 6 months before I went to court. But i spose if you cant be bothered its always good to save money etc. And like what was said above you'll find out who your tru friends are.

hehehe i recon u guys wil like this one... I LOST MINE FOR 15 MONTHS.... 2 months left...... its hard .. really hard.... 8 months through i decided to buy my gtr so i could work on it and get it prepped

:( i mean seriously 15 MONTHS

help >_<

well..

it's like this..

Having your license is like having sex on Tap.. Good sex.. Hot sex.

You lose that, and you can have all the blow up dolls, vaso and porn you can buy to replace the real thing, but in the end, after you've left your load in that plastic bitch, and wiping your wang before you turn off that porn, you will think about how much you miss real hot poontang.

So I've been told.

well look on the bright side...now is a perfect time to do all those modifications to your car that would have had it off the road for some time...eg respray, engine out...those kind of mods...you can take your time about it ..no need to rush it so you can drive to work etc....

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
