The christmas, new-years period has proven to be very painful to my wallet...my once perfect driving record is now...well...f***ed

All I want to know is when I start getting points back on my licence... and how many I get back etc. :)

I only have 5 left... :Oops:

I wouldn't worry about it too much.. with the state of enforcement at the moment its very hard to hold onto points, and 3 years is too long. Just drive as normal - once you lose the licence just catch public transport for 3 months :) Get all your points back, rince and repeat.

Oh and do I have to inform my insurance company when I get a fine...I have full comprehensive with 'Just Cars' (AAMI's youth extorsion program)

If I don't inform them can they refuse to pay out in the case of an accident?

...and forgot about insuring any decent car again in your life...

Shrug.. I've had countless speeding fines and never had an at-fault insurance claim. Its all b.s. They still will insure you, there is a 3 year period or something after which they can't count loss of licence or anything in your assessment.

NickR33: maybe

The points you earned at the time of that offence expire 3 years from the offence.

If you get more points, those new points expire 3 year from the date of that offence.

The points you have now expire in 3 years irrespective of what other offences you commit after getting them.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
