You can't get angry at people for being Angry at you for stupidly breaking the law.

Fixed your post...

Andrew, we've got a massive problem in Vic with police cracking down on import and modified car owners because of hoon driving... We're mildly annoyed (to say the least) because your actions were just fuelling the fire.

Go stuff ur self who are you to tell me. If you don't have anything useful to say then mind your own business

Isn't it a good thing your on a forum where people express their opinions, and from your defensive yet boyish reply, I can tell you made the thread to hopefully confide in other import owners and stroke your ego.

Odium is on the money- people are really starting to get quite over people like you that break the road rules and cry blue murder because you got caught. Be a man and take responsibility for your actions.

No choice for you mate, years ago when i too was a f*kwit i was caught doing 160 in an 80 zone, I was by myself and in the middle of nowhere and nothing could save me, having a full year off from driving cost me my job and many hardships with the missus and a family....... I have not had a speeding fine since.

You do the crime you pay the fine, unfortunatley for you your fine is a loss of graduation and job prospects. You had passenges and at that speed you will not get your licence back for ANY reason unless you have a few hundred thousand dollars in your back pocket to pay for extremley good lawyers.

Prepare for the fun of not having the ability to drive anywhere, and afer a year of it you will think twice before risking other peoples lives.

Andrew, there is no way in hell you will get your speed reduced enough at court to change the 12 month suspension. If you take matter to court you SHOULD get charged with conduct endangering life and speed dangerous. If convicted on those you WILL have a criminal conviction also so I think the choice is obvious. Just take the fine and suspension, you got off very easy.

I would have definitely charged you for all offences and impounded your car, IMO this is very slack by the police member.

Speeding penalties are MANDATORY. The only way out of it is to hire a lawyer who can get you out of it, 100%.

To do this you will need to plead not guilty to the speeding offence and then present the data proving your innocence. If you cannot do this, you're boned. If you try and fail, expect a worse punishment than what has already been metered out.

You cannot plead guilty and ask for a more lenient punishment, it is 100% impossible. Mandatory means the court has no alternative.

and I've love to see a Not Guilty Plee after admitting on a public forum that he clocked 180km/h with a car load full of mates while it was wet... but it was ok because it was a long straight road with noone around... (<--- Shows that the OP thinks that it was ok)

To play devil's advocate, I wonder why there isn't a law based on the severity of the crime. Surely if you are alone, in a deserted area, endangering only yourself, in the dry, in a car where this speed is 'safe', doing 180kmh is less of a serious offence than doing it in the CBD with a full load of toddlers directly at the Flinders Street Station road crossing.

It really shouldn't be as severe a crime.

But it is, and you'll be on the bus.

Charles, you would be able to travel but you would have to declare that you have a prior criminal conviction. Also will show up on police checks for employment, good luck explaining that to potential employer.

Location of offence does matter. Get caught at 150 in middle of nowhere in dry weather, probably not speed dangerous or conduct endangering, but do 100 in 50 zone in rain almost hitting kids at school crossing same speed offence but will have much higher penalty at court.

180kmh in wet conditions with a full car is beyond retarded / insane. You do not deserve a licence seriously.

Do not even bother trying to appeal that. And I bet you would get more than 12 months if you try too. A guy I worked with was caught doing a similar speed in DRY conditions ALONE and managed to lose his licence for two years and has to start from his Red P plates again (nsw).

A car full of people?!

If I was the police officer I would have just put a bullet in your knee and taken your car.

would love to see that happen :whistling:

It is Victoria. Shoot now. Ask later.

On a serious note. OP you got what you deserved.

If you weren't driving like a douchebag you wouldn't be in this predicament.

What i find funny is that you did something so dumb, admited to it here, and want people to help you get away with it?

Nah you knew the risk you took, you knew what the punishment was if you got caught and you did, now you have to take the punishment.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
