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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
