For future ref ^^

Fantastic thanks, if anyone has any other recommendations let me know so I can pass them on, in case hes not happy with advice from the one above.. thankyou :)

lol @ u being the one to reply.. thanks Graeme!! Its for loss of licence.

He was on one point option then incurred another speeding fine and lost it for 6 months. But because it was excessive speed (40km/over) he has just lost it for another 6 months.. so will now lose his job.. (its my boss's son). From memory of our discussion the other day anyway..

He was done doing 100 through a roundabout near Rye.. apparently speed 'automatically' drops to 60 at a roundabout.. I personally did not know that?? I fly through them regularly.. like most other ppl I noticed..

Also I noticed in Cranny on the weekend that you can see the 100km sign on the other side, from the entry side of every roundabout.. so the whole thing seems stupid...

Anyway they need to try to do something so he doesnt lose it for another 6 months.. hence lawyer to talk about options..

Thanks for any help..

Hey Kaz,

Do you know which roundabout in Rye? Are you saying that it was an unsigned speed change?

I've just looked on the Vicroads site, and couldn't find anything about a speed limit automatically dropping for a roundabout on either the Speed Limits section or the Round Abouts section...

I know that most of Rye does have a 60kmh speed limit though...

He could be in a tricky situation considering his previous offenses...

Best of luck to him.

Must be one of those laws we are all just supposed to know about, like the 100's of other ones no-one is ever taught.

I have never heard of this, other than my dad mentioning it once years ago, that you should slow to 60 for any intersection. I just assumed he was crazy as that would cause more accidents.

Haven't heard of any law like that - however, surely discretionary powers allow a picky officer to get someone on reckless driving if they go through a roundabout too fast.

I looked into MK Law when I got nabbed speeding at 28 over the limit (down at mornington peninsula, when I was on my 12 months probation). Apparently he doesn't take minor cases.

Due to time constraints, I choose not to represent people who contest traffic infringement notices issued to them by police. I concentrate on matters where people have been charged and have either been bailed or summonsed to appear in court.

How'd he get caught? Does he need to appear in court or was he just issued a TIN?

i had to front court recently for a single speeding offence.

i spoke to MK law, however found him to be a little unprofessional, in my opinion not of the character i wanted to represent me in court.

MK quoted $1000 all up to deal with my case.

I ended up seeing Sean Hardy, had a meeting to discuss my case and i was confident in his ability.

SH cost me $1800 however the outcome of which i was very pleased with.

Yep. I went with SH as well and although he didn' represent me he gave me some good advice. recommended.

Sean hardy really well known. I have gone up against him before.

I also have never heard of this law. Stretch of road without sign in built up area iis default to 50 but otherwise is speed limit of last speed sign affixed until sign to change it.

Probably should have charged with speed/manner dangerous but took the lazy/easy option to give TIN, 2 min work compared to 2hrs

That's what I thought. When I went for my P's the instructor told me never to take a round about faster than 50km however the assessor in the back had said that there was no law actually saying that it legally had to be taken at 50 and to take it at a safe controllable speed close to the speed limit.

Have heard good things about Sean Hardy but no personal experience.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
