Penalties for excessive speeding

If you are caught travelling at 45 km/h or more above the speed limit, you will incur the following penalties:

* automatic loss of licence for six months

* six demerit points

* expiation fee.

Your licence will usually be suspended if you are detected going over the speed limit by 25 km/h or more.

Your vehicle may be immobilised or impounded if you are travelling 45 km/h or more over the speed limit, or at more than 145 km/h.

The police may give you a warning if you are doing less than 10 km/h over the speed limit. See ‘Police action’ in ‘Possible outcomes for traffic offences’ (link below).

All excessive speed offences attract demerit points. See ‘Demerit points’ (link below).

Can I stop my licence from being suspended?

Your licence can be saved if the magistrate believes you were driving less than 25 km/h over the speed limit, at a speed less than 130 km/h. Otherwise the magistrate has no choice and must suspend your licence.

If your licence is suspended, the minimum suspension period depends on how much over the speed limit you were driving:

* 25 to less than 35 km/h over the speed limit – one month

* 35 to less than 45 km/h over the speed limit – six months

* 45 km/h or more over the speed limit – 12 months

You're f**ked. From what you've just said.

If your licence is suspended, the minimum suspension period depends on how much over the speed limit you were driving:

* 25 to less than 35 km/h over the speed limit – one month

* 35 to less than 45 km/h over the speed limit – six months

* 45 km/h or more over the speed limit – 12 months

If you are caught travelling at 45 km/h or more above the speed limit, you will incur the following penalties:

* automatic loss of licence for six months

* six demerit points

* expiation fee.

That means you'll lose your license for 12months, THEN an additional 3 (or is it 6?) months for running out of demerit points.

I think thats right, plus the additional 12-15 months added onto the probationary license thanks to the "graduated licensing system", which punishes getting fines and rewards a clean driving record.

Just to add another little rule.

If you get caught at 130 in 110 zone your license will be suspended for a month.

Thats retarded. According to the Vic police website:

"Excessive speed is defined as driving 25 kilometres an hour or more above the speed limit, or at 130 kilometres an hour or more (if the speed limit is 110 kilometres per hour)."

So I can drive at 64km/h an hour in 40km/h school zone and keep my license and just get a fine, yet if I do 130km/h in a 110km/h zone on the drive from Sydney to Melbourne I lose my license.

Once again the burecrats have screwed up royal.

Just for the record I know you dont make the rules Graeme and your in just as crappy position as the rest of us, if not worse as you have to enforce these stupid laws and then cop the backlash from the public.

I guess the only rationale with that rule is that 130 km/h is deemed too fast according to the rule makers and you lose your license. I know this rule from personal experience, I lost my license for going 131 in 110 zone and at the time in all other speed zones you had to be 30km/h or more over the limit to lose it. Imagine how I felt.

I was lucky to get accepted into force with that. I know now days you can't get in for at least 5 years after having license suspended. At the time I spoke to a s/sgt that I was friends with and he didn't even know that rule.

Was just thinking about that...I thought it was a clean record though? I.e. no points or suspensions. A mate of mine who was in the academy said he had to have an absolutely clean record in order to get accepted in and it was bloody hard to keep it that way lol.

I've heard that Drink Driving prior means you will most likely never get in. License suspension may be a 5-10 year wait with a clean record after that. I have also heard of people getting knocked back as had too many demerit points (only more than 6) and had to wait until demerit points reset. I only here these as I try to assist recruit/applicants on certain forums.

Then again I know one member who has been lodged for drunk twice and had about 30+ speeding fines in 10 years and he got in (bloody motorcycle rider) lol. Now he wants to go to TMU and fines everyone for everything.

i think i may have an option of a good behavior bond, which is 1 point for 12 months? correct me if im wrong. im certain i was doing under 105, i like to hope so anyway

LOL is that a serious question? Do you not see this the same way as everyone else?

You were doing 40km over the speed limit and had your liscence for 4 weeks...... have fun trying :nyaanyaa:

If you require your liscence for work, start preparing the documentation to get an exemption for work purposes ONLY! with that sort of speed you may also be rejected, although normally they can be pretty generous

that only applies if you've used up all your points, not an immediate suspension sentence.

but 130 and losing licence? that's bullshit man, 130 isn't even all that fast.

im pretty sure i will us up all my point because i got done again last night which is utter bullshit. it was a red light speed cam, i couldnt stop in time because it was wet, i was more than half way and i got flashed, mind you it was still amber when i went over the line. Im contesting this one for sure.

Im just the luckiest guy out huh.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
