double demeirits, who cares, I drove 3000km in NSW in the last week and didnt see one cop...

sorry I lie, I got breathtested by one on xmas eve in some bushwhacker town in bumf**k Idaho...

Aside from that every speed camera has a 3 huge signs telling you its there so if you do get busted you really deserve it..

move to Vic then start complaining..

btw congrats on the great fuel economy :thumbsup:

Double points is so frustrating, I end up doing 522km to a tank in suburban driving (57L, 10.9L/100km). How am I supposed to complain about poor fuel consumption when I can't even hit boost for fear of losing my licence?

:P

u sure it wasnt 422km? 522 imo is bs for city/suburban driving..

sorry for hijacking the thread - but if it is true you get that much in city driving, what have u done to your car?

yeah it's a myth in QLD (one the cops aren't exactly going out of their way to dispell the myth though). only time you get double points in QLD is if you are booked for the same sort of offence twice within (i think) a 12 month period

no BS, and no freeway driving. I was amazed, as ~450km was my previous best.

My best on the freeway is 9.3L/100km, sitting on the speed limit.

Car just has a JJR bellmouth dump, fujitsubo exhaust (very quiet, full size centre muffler but flows well) and a 3" high flow catco metal cat. oh an r34 SMIC. Running 10psi boost.

depends on what sort of city driving it was. if it was cruising on motorways, etc, and there wasn't much start/stop traffic then you will get decent economy. that is the thing with 'city' driving. everyone has a different interpretation of what it is. in a lot of cases what people class as city driving is probably more accurately defined as a mix of both city and highway driving. if you are cruising through the middle of the city on a bypass doing 80kmh or more then that is more highway driving than city driving. it is just a highway through the city.

pfft to 500km+ per tank in an RB Nissan :) Best I've been able to do thus far closed-loop is 14L/100km (2630+).

Of course, the PFC is fairly venerable tech these days and I'm fairly sure I've never managed to avoid the dreaded right foot at least once per trip.

Still, beggars can't be choosers. It might be dragged from my Cold, Dead Hands but you can never be sure...

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
