Man I was so close to getting off mine............ :D Thats what frusterates me more I think!

not having a go at ya mate.....but i cant see how people loose their license....to this day i have only had the 1 speeding ticket which was given to me when the changed from 60 to 50 zones.....a lot of my mates have lost their licenses as well which i to this day cannot understand how come????

sucks for you though wayne about to be off the P system and get nabbed aye

Drink driving, excessive speed, accumilation of points, etc.

The points add up so quickly. I mean cummon, 3 points for not wearing a seatbelt in the backseat when you're not even driving, yet you still get points? That's f**ked up.

And the law that states you lose your license if you don't have P plates up, or if they've fallen down, is also f**ked. Just give them 3 points! P plates fall down all the time and you don't realize.

i think they changed that law, you dont lose your license anymore if you dont have P plates displayed.

I remember reading that they wanted to put that new change in place, but I thought they said it was coming into play as of next year or something?

i lost my licence for doing 106km in a 110km zone on the way to robe.

6km over my p plate restrictions. did me for speeding and not following p plate restrictions.

got a fine, and all my points gone in one hit.

had 1 point for the past 4 and a bit years :happy: . some people just get f**ked over while others deserve it.

were you able to appeal the charge in front of a magistrate? you mustve had a cop with a sandy vag for you to get done on something so trivial...

-D

a TSA worker told me if you get a speeding fine for 10kph or over on your P's you get disqualified immediately. Pretty harsh penalty! There are a lot of un-signed streets, being 50kph, snap @ 60 and your license is gone...

They've come down hard with demerit point rule changes in the last 5 years. And of course the price of everything (fines/rego etc/license fees) has increased enough to start hurting the wallet - just went and paid a speeding fine @ the post office on my lunch break... $220 for 70 in a 60 zone... I was bloody astounded when i saw the price of the fine when i opened that letter. Up by $50 since my last speeding fine, for the exact same offence... f@rk!

Guys I think I still have the standard boost restrictor in the R so I want to remove it. Do I just unplug the hose and squeeze the restrictor out or cut the hose before the restrictor and rejoin it?

Okay I pulled the hose off with the yellow stripe and I can't feel anything in the hose when I squeeze it. That would tell me that the thing isn't there. But when boosting my standard gauge only goes to the 2nd to last bar on the gauge..

What do we think is going on?

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
