My ex lost his 9 times - he went to the main station one time to get a print out and hand it in again ...... the print out of his driving record was 5 pages and while we were there i was just staring out the window at the police cars and multinovas etc there and this cop comes up behind me and goes "Nothing worth stealing out there luv" i mean what tha?? that was rude!!

Anyway when it comes to my license - i shouldve lost it twice by now if it wasnt for some friendly forgiving cops so i cant bag them :D I am currently surviving on 3 points. I had a cop ask me the other day how many points i had left and i go "only three" and he raises his eyebrow at me and i go "Well i drive a fast car ok?" and he just cracked up laughing .... so most of the time i find them pretty cool.

Count me in for twice.

1st time was very much the same situation as Docile. I took it to court - wasted lots of time and basically was told by the Judge "these little cars are pretty zippy these days" and had 6 points taken off me for doing 10 over the limit. Byegones.

2nd time was a silly me on my motorbike. A run of bad luck with small fines and one decent one on the bike and it was game over. This time it was fair. Lesson learnt.

If you really want to string out the time before you hand in the license, just don't pay the fine. You'll get a blue "reminder" notice with $10 added. Wait longer and you'll get a friendly court notice to pay, adding about $30. Timewise this process takes about 3-4 months and you get 1 month to pay the court notice - so there's an extra 5 months possibly which could come in handy depending on your situation. :D

Yeh i was thinking about that Cam. I have two fines which i want to pay asap, so i can get back on the road by Christmas

Theres only 3 good points to all this.

1) car racks up less k's, so better resale

2) i save money AND the biggest thing

3) car stays in the garage and gets the full treatment in "secret".... :D

I long for the old days when the cops had to chase you and it was a fair fight!! Now they're trialing spy satelite technology in Pommieland.

Does everyone agree that the general duty cops are fair enough and that all those in Traffic Branch have various degrees of 'personality disorder'?

actually my experience is the other way around.

the guys in traffic are much better educated and informed, and are generally less cowboyish..

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.

      Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
