Hi guys,

After a recent trip to Adelaide, I was on my way out on the M1 highway when i got pulled over for doing 126km/h in a 110 zone by 2 cops hiding behind trees on motorbikes and fined $240.

Anyway, I kinda think the $240 fine is a bit too much just for going 16 over the limit, i think in Victoria its about $180, so i was wondering if you guys know if this amount is correct or point me in the direction of a SA website that has the fines listed for speeding.

BTW - love the adelaide roads, there so much better than fu(ken potholed sh1tty bumpy vic roads! Best bit of road is the M1 up to Murray Bridge, i reckon its the best bit of road i've been on in australia :headspin:

Where the hell were you driving??? Doing circles around parliament house, or over in the Eastern suburbs ? :)...lol Thats like the newest bit of highway here .

Explore a bit more next time, im sure you would retract the above statement. :rofl:

As for the fines, it sounds about right for SA. Ring someone like the police dept. They should be able to tell you if its correct or not...i cant be bothered to google it atm :rofl: sorry

lol, i was even up at Port Pirie so don't worry you SA dude have alot better roads than VIC, take my word for it. Or just cruise down to melb some time...

yep, thats the right amount - got done for similar speed a while back.Just be glad you didnt get defected

Haha, don't worry Steve, I was driving a VX S commo with just a exhaust, he did have a look at it though...

Anyway if thats the correct amount, well theres nothing left to do but pay it :( :bs!:

2km/h less and the fine drops into the mid hundreds, speaking from recent experience

thats what i thought, as in vic the fine is much less if its under 15km/h

Thanks for your help guys :)

0-15 KM over is ~$150.00 and two points.

16-29 KM is ~$250.00 and three points.

30-44 KM is a fairly big fine and four or five points.

45 KM or more is a **** off fine and six points.

As far as I know, there is no automatic loss of licence in South Australia for speeding. But it's easy to do when you lose six points for 45 KM over the limit and then get done for dangerous driving too.

On the topic of speeding, I've gone through three separate cameras in the past two months at between 20KM-40KM over the limit and haven't heard anything. Have I been ridiculously lucky or can it take this long for fines to arrive?

ey man.... u're bloody "lucky" to be caught speeding on SA side. if you haven't crossed the border when u got pinged you would have lost your license for doing more than 15km/h above the posted limit. here in VIC dictator state we start getting fines as low as 2km/h above the limit.

Apparently speed camera fines can take up to 3 months to arrive, depending on how busy they are. Chop's fine (from the Mt Barker dyno day) only took about 3 weeks to reach him though from memory.

I agree Steve. I've lived in and/or had long visits to all states & territories of Australia at one time or another, and without doubt SA/Adelaide has "THE" poorest quality city and suburban streets/roads in the country. Melbourne might have "some" bad ones but nothing compared to here in Adelaide!

Traffic light speed camera fine (revenue payment) - 3wks till it arrived in my letterbox.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
