Andrew, I'd def challenge a 61 or 62 in a 60 zone.................no speedo is that accurate so I wouldn't pay and just opt for conviction

Too late once you've paid cause they deem it as an acceptance of liability

^^^ Nope, no leg to stand on. As part of Victorias Certificate of Roadworthiness you can get your speedo checked/calibrated for free. And in this age of GPSs and smart phoines, to argue that you were speeding cos you didn't know any better is a cop out. Even more so when they have speed check signs all over Melbourne.

Don't get me wrong, I cruise around Adelaide all day every day doing 65km/hish and love how lax the enforcement is here. But in Vic I ALWAYS stayed below the speed limit.

I still doubt that they could argue calibration of 1km..........considering a tyre 50% worn at 100kph would indicate a different speed (as small as it may be) to a brand new one on the same calibrated vehicle

The tolerance for reading an analogue gauge is +/- half the smallest increment, so if you have 10km/h marks on your spedo the reading error is 5km/h, and you can get number of books or 'expert's to state that is the case.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
