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..

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
