Given points don't even cross state lines (aka 3 points lost in NSW won't effect your Vic license) I doubt an international licence would gather points.

There is talk of them changing the state rules though but it hasn't been done yet.

hahaha,

that is awesome.. what about this scenario then...

say you hold a Victorian drivers licence, you get booked in NSW and lose your licence, can you go back to Melbourne and keep driving on that same licence?

Wrooooong.

Points do transfer.

Lose license in Vic and they will inform every other state and you'll be done there too.

In fact, interestingly, if you get done in Vic for say 8ks over, which is a $110ish fine and 1 point, once the RTA gets wind of it it becomes 3 points.

^^^my speeding fine in SA never carried Demerit Points back over into VIC.

It doesn't work to Vic.

But do your license in one state and you're done in every state.

The transfer between States is only very recent and may not apply to all scenarios. With a cancelled licence in Vic, someone who shall remain nameless relocated to QLD and got his licence up there nearly 2 years ago. However he has since gone to renew his QLD licence as he eventually moved up there anyway and his Vic points have now been added. This was back in August.

I came to Australia at 19 with my UK licence (the UK licence used to be on watermarked paper before photocards). I was able to drive freely with no P's and once I realised I would be here longer than 3 months, sat my test. I only had to do a theory test as the UK test is hard but the main reason for getting the Vic licence was to start getting a credit history. When they issued it, they put a black stamp on my UK licence saying Vic Roads Licence Issued XX/XX/XX. This was incase I handed my paper one over if I was stopped. Just applied for a new photocard one a few weeks later and said I had lost my UK paper one.

As for points, they don't accrue on an international licence, however if you are Aussie living O/S but back here driving on holiday and get pinged with a camera, they will pursue to your country of residence! This is from experience.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
