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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
