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

No point in me applying for another hardship order. It would get knocked back no doubt since I don't meet any of the criteria for it lol. Not gunna bother appealing anything just trying to find a place to move out to on the coast as soon as I can. No point in wasting time f**king around with courts may as well just get it over n done with. Every place I've enquired about so far has 1 or 2 applications pending so they're most likely gone. Josh find me a 1 bedroom unit on the Gold Coast. Needs to be walking/cycling distance to Cavill Ave.

Thats bad! Take the time off and save up for the mods to come I suppose. Thats what I'll do instead of selling the car. Unless you really want to or have to... I wouldnt sell mine.

can't you use spers? When I had over 1500 worth of fines I didnt pay it before the due date went to the court house paid 1/4 of the total and then paid the rest off in installments... Somebody has already mentioned this hey... Damn

Does it have to be a 1beda for you on your own or could you live in shared accom?

If you wana do shared accom I might be able to hook something up . . . .

will be using spers but its not the cost of the fine that's the problem it's the cost of the loan on the car while the car isn't being used. I may as well sell it and be debt free for a year. Most likely I will be keeping the car though. Inspecting a place tomorrow that's $200pw like 10 min walk from work. See how we go.

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. :wave: 121km/h in a 70 zone. $933 fine and 8 points.

IF the cop got you just as he came over the crest of the hill how far away from him were you ? I thought that the minimun distance had to be 200m for the mobile radar/lidars and it had to be on a straight road ie not over hills round corners from side streets etc. etc.

If this was case then I woudl be fighting it. They are not unfaultable and their equipment does have certain flaws in it. Who says it was tested properly before use ? or ther calibration equipment was faulty ? Anyone of these instances could and can be grounds to have a case thrown out or reduced, leaving you with a liscence and no suspention.

I wouldnt be just paying hte fine up especially since it means you loose your liscence. If you think that you cant win these sort of cases then think again..... Go look at the police hand book and find out what they are required to do one might be suprised ......

probably 30ish metres away when he came over the crest. the road is a big corner as well so I might have a case but I really don't have the time or the energy to fight it especially when the odds are against me. My driving record is pretty shit so I don't think it would change much. I'm over it now anyway. Will most likely be keeping the car and living on the Gold Coast. I'm actually pretty excited to be moving out n shit lol :wave:

Woah... all the way down the coast. You're getting serious.

Go on the for sale section. I always see a couple Z32 on sale when I browse the latest thread section. Hope everything turn out well.

Hows the convoy going?

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
