I met up with this girl that I met through a mutual friend last night for a few drinks in the city. We grabbed dinner at Longrain. Great place for a date because you can't make a booking, you have to turn up and wait for a table and there's a nice bar on the other side of the restaurant where they make some awesome ****tails. Knowing I was driving, I only had one ****tail before dinner and then alternated Vodka/Sodas with glasses of water... Food was great as usual and had a great night... No details you horny biatches!!! :slap:

So anyway, I was driving her home after dinner and got hit by an RBT on New South Head Road in front of Rushcutters Bay Park... I though I'd be fine because I paced myself all night and wasn't feeling drunk at all... Just eager to get back to her place.

I lit up the breathalyzer with a 0.12 reading, which apparently puts me in the "Mid Range" offence... I have no idea what I can do about this :( I'm like the biggest advocate of drink driving out of all my friends, always saying that only retards drive whilst drunk, but I honestly didn't feel drunk at all!!! ;)

The officer said that the mid-range reading comes with an automatic 6 month suspension and possible 9 month gaol term :rofl::D;):(

Fark guys, please help me out... Does anyone know of any good DUI Lawyers? This is obviously my first offence :(

OMFG that sucks man, are you sure you didn't have like bits of alcohol in your mouth and blow that into it? 0.12 is pretty hight considering you didn't think you drank that much...

thats seriously farked man...

sorry to hear it - definatly seek out a lawyer, probably can't get you off but, may be able to get it reduced a little.

Merli my mate got done in Vic he blew really high because the alcohol was fresh in his breath as he had just finished a bourban can before getting in the car.

They took him to the station, waited 20mins and breathoed him again.. and he was like 0.02

did they allow you to wait this time and breatho you again? you might have something there, depending on when your last drink was.

Sorry to hear mate :(

i just had to read that it was posted by merli, looked at the calender n shook my head in such dissapointment

u could have at least held off for half the day :(

"The officer said that the mid-range reading comes with an automatic 6 month suspension and possible 9 month gaol term "

please, i somehow dont think this happens when ppl blow this all the time

or else the gaol would be full of drunken loonies

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • 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
