There's no hypocrisy here mate, you cannot compare the two. A blow off valve and an intercooler never killed anyone. A drunk driver doing 80km/h over the speed limit on the otherhand...

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.

I thought DD was longer than 11months?

birds piss off.

And that, is where bozodos exits the thread :D

60-80K over and wasted....very good work wanker!

I can't stand drink driving, I wouldn't do it myself, I wouldn't let my family get away with it, so I suppose I expect everyone else to give a shit and not do it

birds piss off. if you think that most people on here have never driven in a dangerous or stupid manner, you're having yourself on.

Like I said, there's been no context given to the situation.

I understand where your coming from, if the driver was

caught doing 160km/h on a country freeway late at night with no traffic to test out his new car it something then maybe abit of sympathy however over 0.05 aswell, it's clearly absolute wreckless

behaviour and no sympathetic way to look at it

but AGAIN THERE IS NO CONTEXT TO THE FACTS THAT WERE GIVEN IN THE ORIGINAL POST.

Graeme, feel free to elaborate on teh story?

Could have been someone who'd had a big night and woken up with a hangover thinking they would be alright to drive etc etc.

how does that make it acceptable for the 60-80km over the limit?

and most people should know even after you sleep there is still some traces of alcohol in the body

just accept his in the wrong, its coming from a police officers mouth, that caught him

i dont know bozo and dont like him cos he posts fat chicks everywhere, but he is right.

not baggin out graeme (think thats his name) but he posts shit up and everyone strokes his knob its fkn pathetic.. cos tomorrow you'll be calling em dogs for doing you for something ridiculous.

i've driven a jazz if it could do 140 id be impressed.. bloody weatbix boxes..

What sort of context would make this behaviour acceptable then? Theres no way anyone with half a brain could wake up at double the legal alcohol limit and seriously believe they are fine to drive, let alone do 60-80kph over the speed limit and try to worm out of it with pathetic excuses.

Short of him trying to rush someone in a life/death situation to hospital, theres not much he could do/say that would invoke any sympathy from me or hopefully the judge that takes his case.

Could have been someone who'd had a big night and woken up with a hangover thinking they would be alright to drive etc etc.

Do you say this in a way to excuse the person? If so... Nothing really against you, but my general view on this: I know people who go out and have a big night, then they think that because they slept for 3 hours and now the sun is out they must be safe. I think you'd have to be pretty dumb to be innocenly ignorant of the obvious.

Also, I think that the risk of the effect of alchohol is far more severe and unpredictable than that of speeding. If alchohol is involved in any kind of way.... then grrrrr. Speeding on the other hand, still stupid, but slightly controllable in certain instances.

I did 140 in an 88 Corolla once... down a hill... so no impossible for the Jazz :D

yeah i'm trying to bash the point into some very thick skulls that we don't know the whole story therefore perhaps should not be so quick to rush to judgement. I'm not trying to mock Graeme, he seems like a pretty cool guy and dosen't afraid of anything.

It was about 4am and he was on his way home from being out at club in the city. His alcohol reading was on the increase. He was speeding simply because he wanted to get home faster.

I followed him at speed up to 160-165 which was going downhill then but then he started to slow down as approaching Stud Road, which he barely stopped and ended up almost in middle of intersection. I was amazed that he even slowed down for that.

To be "fair" I just called his speed at 140 which he was well over but I followed/tried to catch up to him at 150-170 for about 2-3 km.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
