Well a while back last year in about august i posted a topic saying how i had a summons for going around a corner in the wet ( not speeding)and car spun out(no traction or abs so wheels locked), across 2 lanes. had to appear infront of a magistrate and got done for careless driving, Soon as she saw on the report that the informer said p-plater skyline sports car she went down.

i ended up getting 12 month good behaviour bond

$300 for the court fund..probably so they can have a nice big christmas dinner

and have to attend a road trauma program (N)

this magistrate was a tight a$%

she goes on how its a disgrace to abuse such a gift such as having a sport car bla bla

*but what i dont think she realises is that its a NON turbo 2.5 litre ...half the cars out now are more powerful and nothing gets said about them, holden ve sv6, aurion, xr6's..

but anyway accepted the result, but this lady was a bi*$&, was watching another case before mine & listen to this..

Old guy around 60 yr old or something had to go to court because he was an electrician who was fined $50 for repairs because he went to one of the clients house to recieve payment of around $3000 because they hadnt paid. They were in the house and he was banging on the door and they werent answering, He broke a section of the door an was forced to pay for repairs ($50) and nothing was said about the $3000 that was still owing to him from the occupants..

he's now retired and wanted to collect money for a job he was hired to do, and is taken to court and forced to pay $50 for repairs cause he wanted his money...wtf is up with that

First of all, with the case of the old man, the issue before the court was the damage created by him not the $3000 owing. If he wanted to recover the $3000 then that would be another case that he would initiate against the client. Just because someone ows you money, it doesnt give you the right to damage someone elses property

In regards to your case, you actually got off fairly light. A mere $300 and good behavior bond is peanuts. You're lucky you didnt lose your license.

Agreed.

Learn how to drive in the wet without spinning out.

....Soon as she saw on the report that the informer said p-plater skyline sports car she went down on me.

fixed

Now that would've been a story worth reading :(

Sorry but I agree you could've been hit much worse than that. Oh and if you want to learn how to control your car in the wet or otherwise attend an SAU Deca day :(

I don't to sound all Mum and Dad but you simply can't spin a car out in the wet unless you're pushing the limits of the car/road. Common sense says that if it's wet there is a cause to slow down due to lesser traction. Just becuase you're under the speed limit doesn't mean you're driving within the limits of the conditions if you get what I'm saying. The only excelption to the rule here is an oil patch but I doubt that's the case.

Just cop is sweet and slow down next time in the wet hey, and while you're at it get those tyres checked :P

yeah ive heard all this before...i went and did level 2 driving course at murcotts and they show you how to handle the car in the wet and braking in the wet so you learn how your car responds. The magsstrate acknowledged i did try to learn from my mistake and gain knowledge so thats why i got off light instead of suspended license ect.

as for pushing the car that day i wasnt...i wasnt speeding or anything just the road was slippery and i did not adjuct my speed as i was in a rush as i slept in and had a assessment task that day for VCE.

Im not saying i wish it nenver happened but sometimes everyone needs bit of a scare to awaken them to their driving habits, cause everytime since trhat day its rained and i drive in the wet i always take it easy around the corners so i use it as a learning experience more than anything else

also the murcotts level 2 course was great fun aswel, i would reccomend it to anyone of all ages

and have to attend a road trauma program (N)

BWAHAHA enjoy that... i also had to attend a road truama program after i went to court for being a dick.

it's nothing like the name... rather an Alcoholics Anonymous for Hoons

"hi, i'm david.. and it's been 3 weeks since my last burn out!"

VCE's a bitch hey?

if the piece of work is late, you need a doctors note or you get an N...

did you atleast get some good angle? :)

Sounds like he couldn't decide on an angle and kept spinning :laughing-smiley-014:

"Yo guys, check this one.. it's meant to be a skateboard trick but I reckon I can do it in a car too! Tony Hawk calls it a 900!"

Or a stupid car with leaf springs... :)

^^^^Promote that man!!!

Just be thankfull that judge wasn't really pissed off! If can ALWAYS be a lot worse.

yeah i got off fairly good i guess, she was impressed that i took it within myself to learn from my mistake and do a driving course.

Since that incident i replaced my tyres as they were previously Nankangs i think and were quite horrible in the wet.

i was reading something in the paper the other day about how some guy was driving and playing with the radio and then he either ran someone over or crashed into there car,i forget, but either way the other person died.

The guy went to court and nothing happened to him.... you'd think killing someone would atleast get you a $50 fine... ?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
