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

Yeh Erik, i have to agree with Rob . You really gotta quit these rediculous posts.

Ah, the old 'one point club' eh?

I used to be in that club... really treadin' on egg shells innit. I'm in the six point club at present.

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..

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
