Are you telling me you need to get your speedo calibrated as soon as you drive out of the showroom, dont be ridiculous.

Almost every speedo out of the show room will not be 100% accurate.

Normally the speedo will indicate a speed higher then what you are actually travelling.

I believe it to be a subliminal safety measure.

mate dont listen to anyone and fight it. court fees are like $50 so who gives a damn if you lose.

youd b suprised how lenient judges can be. and for 3km over the limit, i would be veryyyy suprised if the judge didnt throw it out for u.

friend got caught driving an unregistered car (recieved a $1500 fine), went to court, pleeded a section 10 (i think) and got off without having to pay a cent.

moral of the story $50 court fee is well worth the risk. worsttttt case scenario you wil be down another 50bux.

good luck dude, and im sure youl b fine :D

No, that is one of the better scenarios. Worst case scenario is that the penalty that can be issued by a court is subtantially higher than that issued by police on the roadside.

Annoy the magistrate with a trivial court appearance and it can turn sour.

Roll the dice.

At the magistrates discretion the fine can be increased.

I know.

The fine actually can change quite a bit depending on discretion, which depends on the judge.

Not sure if you can find the law online, it will be in law books :down:

I agree with a previous poster, if you go to court its like rolling a dice, if the magistrate is having a good day you'll be fine, if not then it may not end so well...

Old radar guns- law had a 10% leaniency to recorded speed & due to speedo variation of vehicles

New guns are Lidar, use light spectrum analysis to detect speed and have a high degree of accuracy, error margin is less than 5%, 3% I think

The only way around is as previously stated, A Judge in good mood or possibility of the charge becoming a civil matter in which no points are lost but fine increases. Not sure whether this law has been amended, but worth ago-maybe?

In any case speak to a lawyer unless someone on here is a Judge/Lawyer/Police Prosecutor

I would still just pay the fine & take it on the chin as my f*kup as p*ss*ng on the cops will get you nothin but grief-sorry to be blunt

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
