This whole thread seems like a big pisstake. If it is serious then +1 to everyone who said wake up and ride to work. Get fit and stay out of trouble/jail.

SA must be more lenient than here because if you drive while disqualified the cops will drag you out of the car and throw you in the paddy wagon for a night in Jail until you're seen by the magistrate. They won't even lock the car on the side of the road for you.

Think of the risk reward ratio man: risk - crash, injury, lifelong debts, permanent black mark on record, pulled over for anything and jail, loss of job. Reward: drive to work listening to bad FM radio to keep working in a job for $200/day and paying off the house.

Push bike: no risk of any of the above, maybe risk a cold from riding in winter.

And shift work is bollocks for no options. Where do you live? There's bus, taxi, train, tram, begged rides, family, push bike scooter, the list goes on. You've already said the missus will give you alift some days, how about putting together some options for the others. You drive disqualified you may not keep the missus and you get caught you won't keep the job.

hmmm i thought it would be pretty strict down here...

yeh i got f**ked over big time....driving down port wakefield road, cop pulled me over sayin i was doin 107 in a 60.

port wakefield isnt even a 60km speed limit...so god knows why i got pulled over...but yeh...

so even for a first offence its jail time?

wasnt when they were doing the road works on there?

As stated elsewhere in this fred, get a pushbike, leave heaps early, deal with it and move on. And no, I dont care that you live 30 minutes drive from work, thats still push bike-able.

on that note, pretty sure as a P-plater it is a breach of P's to go over 100kmh by any amount, not that I care or know if who ever posted that initially is a P plater.

hate repeating myself but i wasnt speeding...i was going 70..

cop obviously didnt re-calibrate his gun, said i was doing 107, this was while in heavy traffic

did my topic say "help i need sympathy" nope......

thanks for the mature and reasonable responses on here though everyone...

its evident id be a dick to drive unlicensed..

im cancelling the house im building anyways and cuttin my shifts down..

just annoying that u drive sensibly, get f**ked over, and have to sacrifice things in order to obey the consequences of the law.

welcome to the sa police :banana:

public transport isnt possible....i work 4pm til 1230am

25minute walk to nearest bus stop, 20min bus ride to train station, 25min train ride, 30min walk to work...thats gettin to work..

getting home, theres no trains after 10 30 down my way. and if anyone here knows what the northern suburbs are like u dont want to be goin through there at 230 in the morning...haha

p.s missus wont leave, shes driving the skyline :banana:

thanks for the responses everyone..hopefully my replies havnt come across as being rude..

ive tried to keep my frustration in.

im not a hoon driver or anything like that, my last car was a twin turbo supra and i sold it and bought a non turbo auto r33..

so i can be more careful on the road, but to lose your license while driving sensibly and obeying the road rules

is pretty f**kin annoying.

me and my missus would be movin into our house on the lake in 3months but to have to rearrange our lives to compensate my license loss means weve lost the house..

but, ive put a for sale sign on the car, havin it around would tempt me too much to drive so its gotta go

11more months to go of headaches, public transport, taxis, buses, and days off work to go :(

hopefully in 11months the p platers in the sociey who drive like dickheads wouldve stopped, leaving there to be no reason for the cops to follow us, pull us over, and catagorise us as "all hoon drivers"

see ya on the road :):banana:

i lay odds you're NOT kidding!

That sucks mate, Im a P plater and its seriously annoying me how there seems to be a fair few accidents going on involving us. Just read the whole story myself, cant believe the hard luck you've had, but it could be a chance to come back better once its all over.

haha nah im not kidding at all just thought id write that i am to keep it PG 13 so i dont get banned :banana:

yeh ive had my car for a year, i dont race ppl, dont drift, nothing at all..but i get pulled over twice a week

because i had a p plate up therefore i was stereotyped to have done something wreckless..

but ur right, something goods gotta come out of it.....x lotto would be nice haha

you look like a dude i used to work with. which is funny cause he drives a non turbo 33 too (or at least, he did, when i had the celsior)... wait... you got a brother?

yeh twin bro....im gunna take a guess...dave courts? from kmart?

A friend of mine lost his licence for 12mths months for speeding,

He took his slightly younger brothers birth cert to transport SA and said 'lost my wallet' got a photo taken and licence send out a week later,

Bought an inconspicuous cheap litttle white 90's model corolla,

100% Stuck to the speed limit and only flashed the licence at bretho's etc.

Drove for the whole year no worries at all. :thumbsup:

fk public transport!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
