damn, sounds like fun (except for the sheep flu part)

Took us until the final day of our travels to spot the tiny tiny little sticker on the passenger side of the windscreen which said "As this is classified as a Heavy Vehicle, the maximum legal speed on New Zealand Highways is 90kmph"... Ooops :P

Not to worry Simon

I got a speeding find in NZ a few months ago

Something like 10km/h over. Was like $30 :D

speaking of fines... apparently getting caught drink driving for the first time is now a $4000 fine... ontop of losing licence, criminal record, breathaliser on car etc.

such a money grab. its already a massive punishment for mis-judging/estimating-how-intoxicated-you-are-before-driving.

why not introduce it for people who blow over 0.08 or something... "only a little bit over" yeah its still bad, but that tiny decimal place would be the most detrimental of your life.

Got a link?

$4000 fine wow

What I've never understood is the 3 points for not displaying P plates fine, i.e. you deserve the same punishment as someone who runs a red light? That's imbalance if there ever was. It shouldn't even be a single point fine.

what are unregoed unlicensed drivers hurting apart from the system.....Thats not even In the same league as drunk drivers man..

get run into by a couple see how you feel about them.

paperwork is hell.

plus

yeah look im not condoning it., but like is said, they are only hurting the system...they are not necassarily a danger to anybody unless they are also intoxicated...

So from this being just over .05 you are double the chance of being in a fatal accident

unlicensed is 2.78

All I know is my lap times on Gran turismo drop dramatically after a couple beers.

i have no idea what you are trying to prove there Martin...lol

I've had this argument plenty of times...criminals be criminals...some reform and learn from mistakes ...others never do and simply appear worse with each misdemeanour as the system attempts to beat them into submission.....they are the ones making up these stats and have little to do with the common law abiding citizen or the common citizen that isn't stupid enough to get caught repeatedly...I'm not even going to waste my time reading it...

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
