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

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...

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
