Today I got a speeding fine in the mailbox. It's $176 for exceeding the speed limit by less than 10km/h. Last month, I also got pinged for the same offence but that fine was $153. So has the cost gone up? I tried looking in vic.gov.au but couldn't find anything on current infringement cost.

Also, I felt that the 2nd fine was issued by mistake as I'm quite certain I wasn't doing the alleged speed stated in the fine. I plan to apply for a review. Has anyone done this before and got away with the fine?

I got $345 for walking across some train tracks just as the signal was about to go down.....

Would get off more lightly if I was drunk and punched someone in the face I think

You would've told him to put it in his mouth

I still reckon the most ridiculous fine is the undisplayed P plates fine, being equivalent in punishment to running a red light lol.

When I was on my P's I got done for this as the p plate was slightly curled over (it was the ones without the suction cup) wasn't even aware and the copper was an absolute flog. Also wanted to give me a fine for not wearing a seat belt, until I repeatedly explained I was had literally gotten into my car (no off street parking).

Some of the costs of fines in Victoria is farcical.

2011 - 2012 (1/7/11 - 30/6/12) = $122,14

2012 - 2013 (1/7/12 - 30/6/13) = $140.84

"In a car less than 10km/h over limit. $153 as of 1 July 2011"

Good to see that the vic government website's are kept up to date.

So if this is the case, how many Penalty units is $153 and how many Penalty Units is $176?

Either I've just tangled myself in a web of confusion, or I'm lost as to what a Penalty Unit is worth...

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
