Caught person doing 140-160+ in 80 Zone who also went more than double the alcohol limit. The Drink driving ban is canceled out by the speeding ban. Impound, 1100 in fines and no driving for 12 months.

Lucky for him he didn't kill anyone. I'm glad I was doing laser duties when things were quiet and now have him off the road!

He wants to contest it saying his Honda Jazz doesn't go that fast.

you boys should be allowed to legally tazer the shit outta them LOL.. maybe this will teach them not to drink and drive.. anyone who repeats drink driving or is double the limit should automatically have the alcohol breathalizer installed to start their cars..

If the speeding fine overrides the alcohol.. Does that mean if he gets off (by chance) that he can't be charged with the alcohol? And LOL as if a Jazz can't go 140...

The speeding doesn't over ride the alcohol as such but when you lose it for 12 months for speeding the 11 month suspension for the alcohol becomes irrelevant. Should be served one after the other not concurrently but what can you do. I guess they don't expect to have people drink driving and speeding to such an extent.

I agree, should also be the same for jail sentences, sick of f**kers being found guilty for 6 or 7 offences but only doing a few months because thats what the longest sentence is, in reallity, if someone knows there going to jail for 12 months why dont they go on a crime spree, there not going to get a longer sentence.

i was thinking of mr eps lol

oh some of the posts in here remind me of rants to the Herald Sun. Given that most of you don't know anything regarding the context of the offences (apart from Graeme), perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to condemn?

TBQH I'd rather get done for drink driving than speeding, everyone I know who has gotten done has gotten off a LOT lighter with suspensions / fines, apart from the whole interlock thing.

So...you're saying he probably had a good excuse to be doing 60-80km/h over the speed limit while drunk? Well forgive us for assuming he was a baddie! Obvious devil's advocate troll is obvious.

no trolling brah, i'm just saying that you've been given some facts without context at all, and the usual white knight types give the usual reaction along the lines of "BURN THE WITCH1!!!!!!1!!!!"

if it was a member on here who had been done for an accidental clutch slip / wheelspin / impoundment, you'd all be up in arms, so I'm just pointing out the obvious here :P

speaking of 'obvious', it's quite obvious a little clutch slip does not lead to you being propelled to 60-80km/h over the speed limit nor does it put enough alcohol in your blood to send you over 0.05. Being over the legal blood-alcohol limit and while doing 60-80km/h over the speed limit are not little split second mistakes as your clutch example so the comparison does not work hence people probably would stick up for that person where this is complete disreguard for everyone including the driver themselves.

maybe it was boz in the car.. and he was travelling with one of his gf's.. and he knows that with his gf in the car.. there is no way power to weight ratio can get that Jazz up to 140..

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
