Ouch, bummer mate :D

A friend of mine got done for letting his registration lapse a few years ago, and he got RAPED by fines...

As doughboy said, you get an unregististered car fine, AND a no third party insurance fine (because it's impossible to have 3rd party for an uninsured car), and as far as I remember the fines were pure extortion :)

Good luck mate...

A friend of mine was once caught driving her Mother's car, unbeknownst to her, her Mother had let the rego lapse, but it was my friend who copped the fines. They were fairly hefty, I remember them being somewhere around $1200 in total, but my memory on it is hazy now.

Out of interest, did you know the car was unregistered when you drove it?

tex i did know the car was register because i sold my car and needed a transport so i borrow my friend unregister car for 2 weeks '

i thought i was invincible since i never got pull over before

Well, no doubt at the risk of being called a wanker by some on here, I'd like to point out how stupid knowingly driving around in an unlicensed vehicle is - the inconvenience you saved yourself by driving your mate's car could have been well and truly offset by the massive problems you'd have encountered, if say, for example, you hit a pedestrian. You wouldn't have been insured for the injuries inflicted upon that person, and in order for them to be compensated (assuming they survived of course) they'd need to sue you, and you'd probably lose everything you own.

Something to think about. Public transport's not so bad. Neither is an $800 fine, in relation to the above scenario...

Dude im glad to hear you have learnt something from this as it seems few younger people ever do. It's good to know you learnt something from what was, in the grand scheme of things, no real big problem. You lose a little money but its just money.

Unfortunately a lot of the time we hear on this board of younger people only learning their lessons after writing off two cars. And in some of those circumstances they dont even learn then.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
