damn bro :huh:

I feel ya though, once on my way back from QR I got stuck behind a convo of about 5 semis, so got to an overtaking lane and just nailed it to get past them all. Would have been in serious trouble had I been booked right then.

Another reason why draconian black and white speeding laws annoy me. I dropped back to the speed limit as soon as I completed overtaking, but would have had no mercy had I been booked in that moment.

Chin up though, dan survived 6 months without a licence, and his dad doesnt have a home brew setup ;)

Shouldn't your suspension be set? Or do u have more fines after that?

you get 6 months insta ban for being over 40km/h over the speed limit and 8 points. I only have 5 points left on my license so I will get a suspension for loss of demerit points as well. Pretty sure loss of demerit points is a 3 month suspension but it could be 6 months. so yeah...

Gbers that's no good.

Not really.

Got to look at the bright side I spose. I get to live on the Gold Coast for a year. The way things are going I might be able to keep it which would be sweet. Would probably be smarter to sell it and be debt free for awhile though.

In 35/40 years of driving I have been without a license for 1x 12 year period. a couple of 12 month stints and numerous 3 and 6 month slots.

You can do 6 months standing on your head Col.

it does go surprisingly quickly, but take it to court and try for a work lisence my brother is on one at the moment

The 6 months doesn't bother me at all. I f**ked up I get a holiday from the roads for awhile. Just a matter of sorting everything out so its all sweet with work and uni etc.

Yeah it will fly by lol. I can't apply for a work license because I've had one in the last 5 years so all the loopholes n shit are closed up. I've just got to take it on the chin.

License has been suspended for 6 months plus possibly another 3-6 after that.

Should only be a fixed 6 months, they cant just say 'we think we wana give you more time"

It will be all in one.. eg, you serve just 6 months

I thought that was only for drink driving?

I've been knocked back trying to get one for loss of points

Overtaking a semi and 4 other cars going up the hill through Canungra. I was in the overtaking lane but as I got to the top the highway patrol car came over the crest and got me. ;) 121km/h in a 70 zone. $933 fine and 8 points.

Your turning into me?

"If the 8 demerit points for this offence cause you to exceed your demerit point limit, this will result in another period of suspension for accumulation of points that is separate to the 6 month speeding suspension."

That's from the little fact sheet that the cop gave me.

You can get a Special Hardship Order for a speeding offense and loss of demerit points. Its different to a work license which is only available to drink driving offenders. I've had a SHO in the past 5 years so I can't apply for another one.

God I hope not. I'm not scene enough.

Sucks to be you: I lost a serious amount of points all at once, served the min. New law changes I guess.

Good luck on hard ship, I had a lawyer do up projected earnings, loss of potential income pled a license is needed, no license, no job, no job no income and that I would sue for the loss of earnings.

No dice.

In saying this, im a C*nt with shocking history

in nearly 20 years on the road been done for speeding once...that was at Cunninghams Gap going home after the Winternationals this year...it was in my work truck...lol. Was going to write a letter to see if i could get out of it...but didn't worry about it and just paid the $330 fine.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
