it's not all over Platium,

basically you won't get out of it, but you can prolong it before you lose the points.

Elect to fight the ticket, it can take up to 6 months before they set a court date. You can pay the ticket at any time before you have to get to court, but once paid the points loss will apply.

It may buy you enough time for some points to go back on your licence, it all depends on how long ago you lost your first set of points.

Long shot I know

bad luck dude

They still take the points from the date of the offence. Even if you leave it eight weeks to pay it, they will take the points from you as of the date and how many points you had.  

A friend is going through this at the moment. He was on 1 point for a year and got busted speeding. He has now since obtained his opens but is still loosing his licence. He's in the process of going to court get his licence back from the offence. So even if he looses the appeal, he will still loose his licence, even though he has obtained his opens in that time frame.  

I guess if the appeal is won, he'll go straight to his opens, but if the appeal is lost, he'll go on a 3 months suspension and then go onto his opens.  

That's the what I was under the impression of anyway.

Well I guess i was lucky then. I had my fines still outstanding when i renewed my license at QT. The lady looked at the computer and told me that my license would probably be suspended, however she still gave me a renewal for 1 year which was was Opens. I did expect to be suspended after i paid off the fines but haven't been. That was 2 years ago and I've still got my license. I was told by a friend who was studying criminal justice or something that there is a loophole where if you paid them more than the fine they would send you a refund by cheque. As long as you didn't bank the cheque the payment wouldn't be processed and point deductions would not apply. I find this unlikely but hey...you've got nothing to lose.

This doesn't work anymore. It used to, but they have fixed the system so this doesn't happen. Too many people were using this method to escape large fines.

      Chris' R34 GTT Series 2

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
