I didn't do it to impress anyone, i did it because i enjoy going fast.

If we can have a road safety minster that has a ton of fines i don't see how i'm all that bad.

ive had

1 speeding

1 failure to maintain vehicle standards

1 disoby stop sign

and my most recent

no p plates

yay for an honest mistake costing me $165

as harsh as it sounds mate

you break a law expect the law coming down hard on you

i know honest mistakes happen and not everytime you jump in a car you check certain things

when i was on p plates i got cautioned once as the p plate fell off and was sitting on the parcel shelf....the cop was kind enough to let me know with handing a ticket and i put it back up on the spot.....one of those magnatic ones....they suck at sticking

I've been done about 7 or 8 times for 0-15 over the limit. Worse one was 72 in a 60 ... uphill and trying to overtake a learner. Just bad luck.

Also got done for ... wait for it ..... 83 in an 80 zone in country Victoria. They're anal I tell ya! ;)

8 fines in over 20 years of driving. I'm a very minor offender. Never lost licence ... never came close. All fines are 2+ years apart. And thats in cars. On my bikes, I've never been caught for anything ... anything! I'm more sharp eyed and alert when I'm riding thats for sure.

We don't. So if everyone doing it, of course that makes it OK!

I received a speeding fine for a car i no longer drive. I sold my old commodore to the parents, they haven't changed the rego over yet. So dad was doing 58 in a 50 zone, got a notice in the mail for i think about $204, there was me trying to figure out why i would be in town at 5:30pm on a Wednesday...i then checked the rego number, wasn't the skyline. ha, and there was dad giving me trouble about getting a speeding fine...when it was actually his ;)

Please show me where i said it was ok? I'm fairly sure i just said i'm not as bad as our former road "safety" minister.

Ruby i've had one ticket on the bike and that was coming back from philip island last year. Was about 7:00 at night just outside murray bridge and got done for 121 in 110 zone. And this is on a dual carriageway.

lol see this is what i find funny. All they bang on about is speed kills yet everyone in this thread has exceeded the speed limit and is still alive...

10 - 20 k's tom3h? more like 170 km over the limit.

LOL Karl, I hope that was on your bike and not in a car......that way there's more of a chance that only you get killed and not some innocent kid.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.

      All jokes aside, OP they're just called R32 oem rims as you said. The Nissan engineers back in the late 80's loosely copied the design from the Koya Driftek which was designed and produced about 18 years later.
