hey guys, im soon to get my license back, early august.. and have to decide whether to choose 3 months extra to refresh my 12 points, or go on a 12 month option with 1 demerit point, im definetly buying a R34 GTR , and a daily

but after opinions on what would you guys do? if i take the 1 point il be nervous to drive anywhere, doesnt matter how cautious you are you can get done for anything these days

but i also just want to drive again.

or does anyone know someone in vicroads to clear the option and give me 12 points? for $$ ofcourse

opinions/thoughts

I was in your exact situation 5 months ago......

lets just say I get my license back in 1 month now instead of having it for the last 2 months....

And I don't drive like a dick, never been done for high speed, DUI etc etc and Never been done in my GT-R take the three.

You'll still take the 1pt. If you were stupid enough to lose that many points, you're stupid enough to think you can go a year without a ticket. Which of course, you're wrong. ;)

When I lost mine I had a maximum of 4 points, easy to lose 4, one offense really.

So how come you dont get full points after you have already lost your license? I thought that the 1 point or 3 month option was only if you were about to loose your license, thats what happened to me a few years ago and I just took the 3 month option, 3 months isnt much really to wait, just think of it as a time to save money for your gtr.

3 months all the way anth. Sometimes a cop will find an excuse to make you lose the 1 point. You can be a perfect driver and still get done for it lol. Better of with 12 than 1 and only to wait approx 90 days.

Not long now before you find your bayside 34R :)

Will be speaking to ya soon

I'd take the 3 month option. I'm a pretty cautious driver and try to obey the limits, but occasionally I'll drift a couple of k's over and that's all it takes to get flashed. I've literally had like 3 spending fines in the last couple of years all 3-4ks over the limit.

I got done when I was picking my car up from Victoria for speeding (1st offence).

they managed to transfer it to NSW and I'm sitting here for about 4 months w/o licience. I believe I had a 1 point option if I chased it up, but I'd still rather sit it out.

If you get a cop on a bad day, or slip up in any way for that year, you'll need to sit it out anyway.

Escpeccially in Victoria, the f**king Nanny state, the missus and I got fines for doing 5km over and lost two points. cool.

LOL! sick avatar

yeh i thoguth so to plus 99% of the population, however one member had worries about his son stikin his peepee in an exhaust, i think the issues wasnt with my avator

good luck not loosing 1 point in 12months. especially that youb guys have the 1point fine for like 5kms over LOL

seriously, the statistics show the a majority of people who go for that option loose the 1 point.....just make sure if you do opt for the 1point over 12months, you drive like a friggin grandma

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
