Yesterday... being that i've just about done my 6 months of no license...

*Yes... it has been that long, doesnt seem like that really*

I decided to call around Vic Roads etc to see about getting my license back.

Now, all the letters i got after court had lots of mambo-jambo in it as you'd expect, and im 99% certain it said that i have to re-sit my test because my license was cancelled.

Suspended would have been different, but as mine was cancelled it means a re-test.

So i called Vic Roads to check. After about 2 mins on the phone with a lady in the call centre.

She told me after looking at lots of stuff, that all i have to do it rock in.

Pay $136 for a 10 year license, NO test or anything

HOW SWEET IS THAT?

There must have been a bug in thier system somewhere for sure on this one.

Either that or i just mis-read the 100 letters i got :rolleyes:

either way. 4 weeks and im driving again. Hope the car is done in time.

Im so rapt! :zap:

yeah, my brother got done for DUI, and lost his for 6 months. When he came in, that said he just had to do some drink driving course and they gave it back after he'd done that.

Imagine doing the test again when you'd be driving for like 10 years or something - it would be funny.. "now let the clutch out slowly, slowly, don't stall".. :rolleyes:

The amount of times they want you to check mirrors and shit is such a pain in the ass when doing the test.

:werd:

i reckon i'd fail the test if i did it again lol!

i'm not used to anything short of ridiculous in the clutch department... and due to that, it's hard to get a smooth change at any time.

Im thankful i dont have to be a granny for 30 mins again!

once was bad enough.

So yeah, VERY good to hear :aroused: :zap:

Nah, im not worried.

What is on the system is on the system.

And with the new privacy crap etc.

I can ask to see what changes were made to my record and when :P

but meh, i'll still call them again just to confirm. I've got the time/name of the last person i spoke too. So i'm covering all the bases

LOL, i just called them again to check.

The reason i dont have to re-test is that it was not cancelled for DUI.

If i was, then it's a different story. But cause it was just reckless, and decided by the court.

I just have to do the FULL three years on P's...

Now i guess 3 more years aint too bad... but i thought i didnt have to start again! Oh well.

P's till im 24 i guess. :P

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
