mine took 3 weeks to the day .... have heard it can be up to 6 weeks.

And if you reckon you were done doing 80km/h in a 60km/h zone then you are a tool and should not be proud of it. Idiots like you give us all a bad name. There is a time and a place - and doing 80 in a 60 zone is just unacceptable IMHO.

I received a 65km/h speeding ticket while over in Melbourne one time... lol

I got a ticket in Vic last year (around the Nhill area) for doing 83 in an 80 zone ... 100m from a 100kph zone, towing a trailer up a hill!!!! The cop was totally anal about it. :banana:

$255 fine or something like that and loss of 3 demerit points ... f**ker! :laugh:

It was either that or a bullshit defect...

Sorry - that wasn't directed at you Adam - it was in response to this:

Today on Regency rd just before main north rd heading towards regency tafe I was doing about 20k over speed limit and noticed a mint green police commodore on right lane (facing me) taking a photo... I'm not sure if it was me tho... do cops take photos only in their direction or both directions? cause there was another maroon xr6 driving past cop car on their lane at the same time and not sure if cops got me, him or both...

Either way... if they got me I will just appeal and get my licence back lol

For someone to joke about breaking the law then bragging they would just 'appeal and get their license back lol' is just plain stupidity - you don't even deserve to have a license mate. It is all great until you hit my Grandma doing 80km/h in a 60 zone, then I come hunt you down.

Jesus... what a load of crap you guys are selling here... I got caught in peak hour traffic and I was just keeping up with the rest of the traffic (which is why I dont know if cops got me or other car) The only difference between you and me is that I admitted I did 20 over limit, and you don't, because you're afraid cops are watching this forum 24/7 waiting to break into your house any time and defect shit out of your car...

If you check this and other similar topics 90% of members have been fined and lost their licence at some point... you can check youtube and there are even videos from sau members speeding more over speed limit then I did... no offence, good on ya if you've never speeded or just never been caught, but you can sell this moralistic crap to your mum.

we have all sped at one point or another rocky, but sau isnt the place to be talking about it.

We never claimed we were saints ... but we don't go talking about excessively speeding either.

How is it that you were 'keeping up with the traffic' and yet did 20 kph over the limit. Are you suggesting that everyone on the road was speeding as well?

I seriously doubt that quoted '90% of people have lost their licence'...Sounds like the old 80/20 rule. 80% of all statistics are made up bullshit. Pun intended.

Nope, I have never lost my license, and I am willing to BET that far less than 50% of SAU members have ever lost theirs - let alone the 90% you claim.

Do use use Sex Panther? :P "They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time. " :P

And I don't think it is ok to do 80km/h in a 60 zone, regardless what other traffic is doing.

I am definitely not a saint, but I would never do 80km/h in a 60 zone - especially in traffic. Just silly. /end rant/rebuttal

Oh you must be the wise one when it comes to traffic statistics ... you know all us drivers so well. :P

You're born to be a traffic cop by the sounds of it.

says the bloke who preaches about there is a time and a place for "speed" yet brags about flying thru the hills on 2 wheels........pot calling the kettle black much?

even 90 year old grannies have gone 80 in a 60 before......your born for ns.com by the sounds of it

      Fender flare widths across front/back of car

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
