Wtf? some of these dont make any logical sence. Like the queensland rail fines .. where drinking alcohol has a less fine than drinking softdrink.

Failing to stop at a red light is only $135

but using a mobile while driving is $225, and going 20 over is $250

now what more dangerous, running a red light or talking on your mobile.

Hmmm

I wouldn't be complaining too much.

Most of those fines are about 50% less cost involved than Victoria.

And if you get $150 fine or above you can pay it off over 3 months! how easy is that. Again -no way in Victoria. You get a $300 fine you gotta pay $300 straight up.

And who said that eating and drinking while driving was a demeritable fine? I don't see any mention in there??

more dangerous is drink/drug and drive but since politicians do it, so they can get away with it.

going off topic a little bit while browsing other pages of transport.... QT - Step 2 getting started page

quote: "Introduce driving skills ... in the back paddock."

good to see they showed some good ol' bogan-ness and encourage youngies to bush bashing.

yeah iw as done the second day of the new speed fines... 112 in 60, instant 6 months :D next day i got 80 in 60, same spot :)

going to a a place where an old mate is r00ting your gf, is not a good enough excuse. the first one I was held there for an hour... untill a patrol car showed up.(because the undercover cop didnt have ticket book)

ok now this is f**king dumb as I person that rides a push bike on the roads a lot this is why ppl get killed on bikes :)

Roundabouts (s111, s119)

(THIS IS 4 CARS)

--> The drivers of vehicles who want to turn right at two-lane roundabouts are required to enter the roundabout and complete the turn, from the right hand lane.

--> As a cyclist, you are exempt from this requirement and may enter the roundabout and complete a right hand turn from either the left lane or the right lane.

--> As a cyclist, if you choose to make a right turn from the left lane, you are effectively changing lanes each time you ride past an exit. As such, you must give way to any vehicle that is crossing your path to leave the roundabout.

Cyclists may turn right from the

right lane of two-lane roundabouts

Cyclists may also turn right from the left lane of two-lane roundabouts, but must give way to vehicles that cross their path

so as to what I said above being on a bike if you r riding around the round about in the left lane you have to look over ur shoulder & see if any cars r going to exit befor you ride across the exit but you can also ride in the right lane & slow traffic while you ride around the round about in the right lane befor you exit

WHAT THE F**K

sorry put some one needs to take a look at the road rules !!!!!! :)

sorry 4 going off but the amount of ppl I have doing dumb shit around me while I am riding is well yeah not funny

I find it immensly amusing the way police focus on "speed" and defects when out on patrol, yet the most dangerous manouvers are performed by Joe Average in his camry doing the speed limit or below in a stock car.

In fact, if I was in a ranting mood I reckon I could fill 4 or 5 pages. But I'm not. So I'll substitute it all with an emoticon.

:)

lol.. I have Mike.. I've ridden from the westside to the southside...

Depends on what kinda people are riding...

I see phuckwits who ride in the middle of the road when there's a desginated

bike path for them... (not saying your one of them) but those people do not

indicate when they're slowing down. turning, hold up traffic, and weave in between

cars to get to the front of the pack (at a red light) - alah they hold the whole pack

up... all depends on the driver AND the cyclist.

but also with that when I get cruzing (60km/h) riding on the bike path is not to safe I stick to the bike lane's where I can but the thing that really shits me is when ppl come so close to you that they hit you with there side mirror even when there is a bike lane or just cut infront of you to go around the corner instead of waiting 4 you to ride past the street

When will the police get a brain and realise that focusing on a minority (skylines etc) doesnt affect road safety whatsoever.

Mainly because.... WE ARE A MINORITY!

Idiots, if they took every skyline off the road it would affect accident/road safety by like 0.05%. Because there is hardly any of us.

Focus on commodores for example, and your getting somewhere because there is shitloads of them.

Common sence mr popo man

I thought people joined the police to 'make a difference'. The only things i see police doing are fining people for driving offeences or stopping teenagers and searching their bags for some weed. This isnt making a difference to society.

And how Drink Driving is a less of a punishment than speeding is beyond me, what a joke.

/ :rant:

understandable Mike...

Caillan, it aint ALL the commodores either... anyone can be an idiot in any car...

cops just focus too heavily on the skylines cos of the high performance import

factor... everyone assumes u want a skyline so you can drive fast...

they're not wrong:aroused: but we're responsible lil SAUers right?!

When will the police get a brain and realise that focusing on a minority (skylines etc) doesnt affect road safety whatsoever.

Just imagine how the cops would be if we were black, gay, midget, skyline drivers....

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
