Vin it takes anywhere between two days to six months.... they're pretty quick on the ball though...

FYI - i have HEARD.... this is just what i've HEARD... from someone i live and hold very close to my heart of hearts that worked on a project with the department of transport... i've heard that the way that our currect system is run... that when you pay the department of transport your fine...

...the department of transport must complete your financial transaction in order for it to be processed by police to deduct your points...

in short if your fine is $110.... you send a cheque / BPAY $110.50c

as it's 50c over... the transaction is registered in dept of transport as "complete pending refund"

to take back the 50c - they must write you a cheque for 50c... until you clear that 50c, the transaction remains incmplete and cannot be handed over to police to demerit your driving record.

so the transaction remains forever in the hands of the dept of transport..

and you can not lose demerit points because you're passively blocking the next step in the process...

Thanks, Rowan.

FYI, I think you've been watching too much "Fast and Furious". :P

haha yes i have tried it and no it doesnt work they send the cheque back to you with the full amount and ask you to amend it and in the mean time adding a $15 surcharge for late fees

Smart!

Oh well, for the mean time, I still have my points in full.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.

      I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.

      I've been doing it for longer then I can remember and on pretty much every car I've owned without any issues.  Jack on a tow point (or under the rear diff), jack stands under control arms/other beefy suspension component is my go to if I'm not using the quick jack.
