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.

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
