There is an unmarked camera car parked on High St between Ferry Rd and Smith St on the Hospital side it's a grey Swift or something very similar. BEWARE.

If you vere driving the Silvia it got you to :ph34r:

;) 25KS over, anyone know the damage ?

And before the sanctimonious start there was nothing on the road in front except me and the Silvia 1 lane away-and in front and it was only a little burst of (untimely) enthusiasm :devil:

For a minute I was thinking High Street in Toowong, and was about to serve you a real ass tearer on a silver platter because if you know the street you'd know how stupidly dangerous it'd be to be 25 over there. But then I kept reading and realised it was Gold Coast and couldn't care less.

Double demerit points

Double demerit points apply in Queensland to drivers and motorbike riders who commit more than one of the following offences within a 12 month period:

Penalty sets (km/h over speed limit)

First offence Second offence (within a year)

Demerit point penalty

Monetary penalty

Demerit point penalty

Monetary penalty

21-30 km/h four points A$333 eight points A$333

31-40 km/h six points A$466 12 points A$466

41 km/h and above eight points and six months suspension A$933 16 points and six months suspension A$933

qld doesnt have double demerits so its 4 points and $333 unless its your second offence in 12 months

correct. qld doesn't have double demerit points over holiday periods like NSW and WA do (they are the only ones who do). we only have them for repeat offences in a 12 month period, however if people think it is double points & fines and it slows them down, then that is a good thing.

also if you are on your P's, you just lost all your points and you will be walking for the next 3 months, unless you go on a 1 point good behavior licence for a year.

Actually... one follow up.

How did you decide 25kms over the speed limit was a good idea near a hospital? What happens if an Ambulance came out of a side street running silent because they had a heart attack patient on board?

The faster you Gold Coastians can take each other out, the sooner we can build something useful down there, so I don't really care. Just wondered what made you think that was smart.

I said the same side as the hospital I was way past the hospital there is no side street for anything else to come out of its a 3 lane each way highway and had nothing except me and a Silvia going same direction on it.

Secondly --momentary lapse of judgement --it'll be my second speeding ticket in 45years of driving --.

Thirdly--I aint from the Gold Coast and nobodys managed to do anything usefull with it in the 100+ years, what makes you think that the hicks from Hicksville will do any better --mind you wouldn't be hard I spose.

Fourthly-- where do all you sanctimonious people come from ? :action-smiley-069:

You meant to say "No side streets except Nerang Street & Queen Street"... right? They're the two streets that run perpendicular to High street on the hospital block. Maybe they were hard to see at high speed?

45 years not enough practice for you?

Well your information under your name says "Surfers Paradise" so easy enough mistake to make when you advertise it so proudly. And anyone could do better with the Gold Coast simply by not making it a drug and tourist hot spot. Even hicks.

Good breeding :)

just ignore john (isola)

he will just continue to argue with anyone and everyone when it comes to speeding/speeding tickets

Between Cougal and Johnson you as you've obviously had your little street directory out

45 years not enough practice for you?

Not me and the other 4500/5000 others booked for speeding in Qld last couple of days -not counting the score from unmarked unatended units.

Whos proud,- thats a warning.

Good breeding :)

Ah-Hem inbreeding is more probable. :)

I wonder if those around the world providing excuses/reasons/right to act in a manner deemed as inappropriate (use of a motor vehicle) would say or think the same way if they killed their mother/father/brother/sister/wife/husband/child or laid in hospital as a quadriplegic.

I know if someone provided me with an excuse/reason/right to why they injured or killed my relations it would not stand as sufficient - and God/Allah have mercy on your soul for what would happen to you.

[/rant]

I'm out of this post I don't believe that there is anyone out there that hasn't knowingly exceeded trhe speed limit.

I further don't believe that anyone who drinks hasn'y knowingly driven when they're over the limit.

I posted the warning for the benefit of other members not the good of my health.

I have no interest in reading sanctimonious hypocritical bullshit.

I won't bother another time.

Until it actually affects them and their loved ones I'm sure they have as many excuses as it takes. If the answer to "why were you speeding?" is anything other than "because I was being a dickhead" then it's the wrong answer.

    • 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
