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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
