Hi i recently drove from adelaide to geelong and today i got a sppeding fine for 104kmph in a 100 zone somewhere just in the vic border, normally in SA there is about a 10% allowance, but 4k over in a 100 zone is just stupid.

Just trying to find out from you victorians if this is the norm over there, also do you know what the fine and demerit point loss would be as the vechile was registed in a company name and at the moment they just wont the driver nominated, cheers Clint

welcome to Brack's Victoria where Safety is paramount! Now you know why there are now 100,000 Victorians suddenly 1 fine away from losing their licence (me included). In the last 12 months I have had 4 fines from speeding <10% over the limit.

The fine will be $110 I think and you HAVE to nominate a driver. You have a few months to do this or else the fine will double until a driver is nominated! (I drive a company car so I tried to avoid nominating myself once!)

you psycho.. 104 in a 100 zone - what do you think you are doing? you could have killed 50 people there...

100,000 close to losing their license? where did you get that from? well i am one of them ;)

I have always wondered the impact of all of this over the longer term. 3 years to keep 12 points in this current system is just ridiculous. Even old ladies will be losing their license eventually.

What happens to the productivity of the state when people can't drive to work, guess they can't pay all those toll roads or massive petrol excises either?

This is the reason I take the train to work now. If I'm going to have money stolen from me, I'm at least going to have it done while having fun, not while paying some dumbass toll while sitting in some queue for 30mins avg speed of 10k then get busted for doing 62 in 60 zone.

The government, in their money-grabbing wisdom (sorry, safety-oriented wisdom), decreed that it you would now only be permitted a 3% or 3kph (whichever was the greater) variance in the speed before being pinged and forced to make a contribution to the state's consolidated revenue.

and even then the $206M surplus is largely due to an unexpected increase in state stamp duty. Soon as the housing boom ends, goodbye Victoria.

Oh yer...

Meanwhile, Premier Steve Bracks was forced to defend the 33.7 per cent jump in revenue from speeding tickets, traffic infringements and other fees and fines to $567.7 million in 2002-03. The revenue was a significant contributor to the budget bottom line

3kmph i doubt half the speedos in old cars would be that accurate, another good reason to live in SA.

If you dont nominate the driver the fine is $600 plus the normal fine, so add another $110 or whateve it is. Anyone know the demerit points lost?, cheers Clint

Even new cars are built with a 10% tollerance inaccuracy in their speedo, but facts dont matter to the bracks government!!

Bracks needs everyone of those speed cameras rammed up his ass sideways!!

Well thank you Brack$, I hope you never ever get re-elected and perhaps you'll die from STD. And I'll just sell my car and move home.

Seriously this is the most ridiculous the whole speed camera revenue raising episode has climbed to.

from the same edition

AN elderly woman died yesterday when her car veered off the road, hit a fence and rolled on to its side in Melbourne's northern suburbs.
Bloody car, must have a mind of its own- to veer off the road by itself :(

if it was a camera, then you dont have to nominate the driver, but you have to pay the 'corporate' fine... something like 3x the norm... so its not really worth it unless your a) rich or B) right at the end of your points.

Huh? What do you mean? I've ben snapped in a work car and in my own car and the fines and points are the same in both situations.

It's called TAX...this has nothing at all to do with road-safety and is liable to cause more accidents than it prevents.

You add this to your PAYE, PAYG, GST, Stamp duty (houses and cars), fuel excise, car rego, city link tolls, parking meters, parking fines etc etc etc and you try to live on what you have left and hope there is enough left over to fix the damage done to your car by stones and bad roads cos "they" aint responsible (the only good road in the state is city-link) and we must all be terrible drivers otherwise they wouldn't need the cameras...right? When u think that everything you do costs money and a tax of some sort, where the hell does the money go ?!?! Why can't they put some back into driver education so that we are all actually safer?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
