I got done foe 23 over yesterday on the way home. $283 and 3 points. My first fine in over 10 years!

He could have done me for crossing unbroken line and no sticker on my helmet, but he "gave me a warning" about those.

With what I've gotten away with over the past 10 years, I'll take that one on the chin.

1 month 25-34

6 months 35-44

12 months 45+

Correct.

I know because I got done for 27 over on a motorbike. I'd like to be able to say it's too easy to speed on a bike, but it was uphill and I was on a 250cc Virago...so really...the officer should have been congratulating me.

Will need to keep this in mind!

I think i'd sell my car if I lost it for 6+ months

Yeah I lost mine for 6 months, drained it hard. Regretted not selling the car after I got my license back, should have sold then chucked the cash in a term deposit for 6 months ;)

Yeah right, and miss out on that $500 interest you might earn.

You'd lose that in Stamp Duty when buying a car to replace the one you sold.

So it costs you $800 to keep it vs the headf**k associated with selling a car which you've probably spent a lot of money on which you will not get back and then the headf**k and expense of buying another one. f**k that.

Selling a car cause you have no license for 6 months is a retarded idea, IMO.

I'll concede that point. However the way I see it I had rego and insurance which around, say 3k, am the car was virtually stock. In hindsight by selling it, put that in TD. And then saved and purchased a newer car. This is only my opinion. Since then I've sold that car anyway and purchased a new car. But in my opinion it would have been better to do that whilst I had no license.

If you were going to sell it anyway, then yeah, no better time to do it when you're off the road.

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

as you know i got done for the same "crime" a few weeks before you (in the previous financial year tho) and my fine was $298 from memory.... didn't bother to pay it and it went up to $320ish.

what a bullshit thing to fine people about,,, i could see the boom gates were closed, I could see the train still stopped at the station BEFORE mine... and i'm a FUCKING ADULT that can make my own descisions on whether it was dangerous or not! seeing as the train was a good 2 minutes away i think i was safe enough, but ofcourse vicpol had revenue on the brain as usual :/

I've often wondered if i was to kidnap someone in my car and i got caught with them tied up in the boot... would i get in more trouble for the kidnapping or the car?

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • 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.
