Thanks for reading,

i got myself in a bit of trouble in your terrotory tonight. i live on the goldcoast and went for a drive down into NSW land drove for about 1 hr till i thought well i know there are no cops lets turn around and have a go. as i was merging onto the hiway i gave it a little then droped back to 110 (speed limit) and within about 10min saw a car flying behind me i wasnt speeding or anything at this time but i pulled over and got handed this ticket.

i was wondering if anyone would make sence from it ? as i have never seen one of these NSW issed ones.

its on white paper and the title is

New South Wales Police

RADAR/LIDAR PENALITY NOTICE.

and the only other thing on the paper apart form my licence and car info is

the penality of $565

does anyone know how many points this is ? and wil the points be taken from my QLD issued licence ? or will it take a fair while to take place as its a interstate issue ?

any info would b great CHEARS

(MELV)

yeah brother you in a little trouble there, points will be deducted quite quickly from your qld licence, not that all computers are linked in australia. from memory, 15 and under($180) is 2 demerit points, up from 1.

between15-30 is 3 points($ 380) and 30-45 is 6 points, and($565) plus 1 month suspension.

hope that helps, sorry man ive had a few of those befor..

Another vote for "not bad luck" here. Ya pays ya money and ya makes ya choice. Or in this case, ya makes ya choice and then ya pays ya money. You made the choice...

Only sure way to avoid speeding tickets is to NOT SPEED. Unless you live in Victoria of course, and then one of their dodgy cameras could probably give you a ticket even if you were parked.

Honestly, how many track days could you attend for $565.00?

p.s. Not saying that I never speed, but if I do and get a ticket it's nobody's fault but mine.

23 years old. Owns a GTR. Lost licence twice already. Still on P's from previous licence suspension (I assume). Then goes and does it again... Amazing.

We all speed now and again, but the smarter people with more evolved brains don't speed at such speeds to risk losing their licence if they're caught... Obviously you haven't reached this stage of evolution yet... 30-45 over in a 110 zone sometimes isn't that stupid, but why would you risk it? $565 would get you to 3-4 trackdays where you can go as fast as you want with no risk of licence loss... Not exactly a hard choice is it?

They should have much harsher penalties for repeat offenders (read: morons who don't learn) like multiple year suspensions and community service.

Can I ask why the hell you thought to come down to NSW to do this?

so i sold that car it was just trouble

bought a holden VXSSV8 and never got picked up the car was in street commodores used to take it to willowbank and qld raceway. got the bug for speed

sold the car

bought a GTR from japan that will kick arse at QLD RACEWAY.

had the car 2 months. just got booked last nite for doing 145 merging onto a hiway.

no big drama guys lets not drill me and everyone telling me how to drive. thats not fair.

merli : Can I ask why the hell you thought to come down to NSW to do this?

because i was driving to byron bay and on the way back i guess i over did it mergin on the hiway.

the reson for the post was to ask how many points will b lost.

thanks for the help

heh come one guys, am i the only one who hasw thought "i paid for every km marked on this speedo, i want my moneys worth.... lets av a go!"? Luckily i only ever lost my license one when i was on my p's (help off paying the fine till i got my blacks so i had a few more points to play with....) got suspended for 3 months then probationary for a year after.... was worth it tho.... 165 in an old 89 excel, never thought i'd see it never mind do it, i was waiting for scotty to pop up in the back seat and say "she cannae do'i capin' she noo hav tha powa!".

But back to earth, we all speed to some extent from another, i think that what can really be learnt from this is that even at 1am coming on a freeway in a 110 zone, you can get nicked big time, so pull ya head in. We're all already cop bait, lets not let them justify it.

Just keep in mind that that spot of bad luck (ie the cop) could have been worse, far worse. its generally considered that 80km impact speed its almost always fatal, and i know a few who have turned up their toes from slower hits.

Bit of a mixed post this, but essentially, we all speed so instead of flaming him, just say "well duh, thats what the tracks for". And instead of saying "bummer fine" think "thankgod no deaths".... then move on to "bugger he caught up with me".

Just my 5 rupees.

Don't you have to pay 7% stamp duty to transfer ownership like that?

Do we lose points off our licence for defects in NSW too? That seems pretty ridiculous to me... How does having a defective car have any bearing on whether or not you're fit to drive a motor vehicle?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
