not in qld, u dont need to have the actual plates on ur car, and dont need to have a full licence holder.

this is taken from the QLD RTA site, how does everybody interpret this?

"Learner and provisional licences

If you accumulate four or more demerit points in one year while the holder of a learner or provisional licence, you will be sent a Notice of Accumulation of Demerit Points. You will have a choice of either a:

three month suspension period, or

continue driving on a good driving behaviour period for 1 year."

http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/driver....learnersdemerit

Does everybody interpret that as 4 points per year?

Err.. In QLD you get 4 points on your p's and have your provisionals for 3 years. Yes. The police officer was correct. I've just come off my p's onto my opens.

Also remember, while on your p's you have a 0.00 alcohol reading as well. Not that you should be drinking and driving at all. I detest any type of drink/drug driving.

But yeah. 3 years for your provisionals then you go onto your opens. Unless I think, if your over 24 you go onto your provisionals for 1 year, then go onto your opens.

You are given 4 points for THREE years.

If you loose 3 points within those three years, you have 1 point until the end of those three years when you are accredited with 12 points on your opens.

If you loose that last one point within those last few years, you loose your licence.

So, basically. 4 points for 3 years. So if you got your P's on the 31 July 2003, you won't get your opens until 1 August 2006. As of the 1 August 2006 you will have 12 points (if you are not fined within those three years)

If you do get a fine, the points are given back to you after 3 years from the date of the offence.

Comprende?

Wrong Nismoman18. Nismogirl is right... Battle of the Nismo Sexes...

Definately 4 points for 3 years whilst on your P's in QLD.

If you lose a point, you get that point back in three years... This is regardless of the license you hold. Opens or P's.

With P's, you have 4 points to play with and 3 years on your P's.

With Open's, you have 12 points to play with and forever on your opens (if your careful, sensible, lucky...)

HTH

I dont wanna start an arguement, but i lost my licence and went on good behaviour. the copper that booked me said ohh if only i didnt get u that last point u could have all yours back in 12 months. damn smart arse. The rules have only been changed very very recently i think, giving your point back after 12 months. NA_R33, why do u ask, lost a few latly??? I dunno i could be very wrong.

i just wanted to know, cause i only have 2 left, and i was always under the impression it was 4 per year. which would be cool means i get my other 2 back in a few months but if not i gotta be very careful.

ooops though u ment the NSW licence system, it still puzzles me to see NSW drivers in QLD and they have their stupid plates on as if ure in QLD u dont need them, i got done a few times in NSW for not having them....

as far as i know u get the point/points back after like 3years, and the 12month on 1 point demerited driving is not worth it, cause then if u get done u loose your licence for even longer, so i reckon its better to take the suspension for the time.

public transport aint that bad, lol

If the rules have changed recently then I could very well be wrong. Hopefully NismoGirl will find out for sure today.

You used to be able to get a driving history from QLD Transport for like $15 showing all your driving related infringements... Can't remember if it showed total points remaining though....

Just checked www.transport.qld.gov.au and this is what it said...

If you accumulate four or more demerit points in one year while the holder of a learner or provisional licence, you will be sent a Notice of Accumulation of Demerit Points. You will have a choice of either a:

three month suspension period, or

continue driving on a good driving behaviour period for 1 year.

So there you go...

you get the 4 points back per year. i know this becaust i lost 1 point for bald tyres then another 2 points a few months later. then after 1 years time i got another fine for bald tyres and it was 1 point. which i didnt loose my licence. then i got done a few months later and lost my licence.

on your p's you get the points back 1 year after the offence was commited.

because if you got done for a stop sign (3pts) then it was 1 year from when your licence was issued the next day, then you awould be back on your four pts, which is incorrect.

you get the points back 1 year after you lost em

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
