Oh yeah. If its your first offence its an automatic 6 months. And thats if the judge is being lenient. If u had previuos speeding convictions its 1 year and then double up next time u get caught again. i.e 2 years. My mate got done twice and is now is 3 years. Also court costs is like $2,000 inc fine. Just go in there show remorse to the judge (i.e suck up) and u should only get 6 moths hopefully if it your first offence. I was there at the court hearing.. LOL.. man so bad

the amount of cops on sat night was unbelievable

on the M5 between bexley north and king georges rd, they set up a massive RBT unit with round 10 cop cars lining the M5 over 1km.

the result, a truck stop that was transformed in a parking lot with people caught waiting to get towed.

i passed it a 1am, my girlfried passed it at 5am, they were still there.

hehehe

I dont think this is every sat from what ive seen on the m5. First ive seen in yonks and i always drive home the m5 that way. Never seen em turn a truck docking into a RBT that large. The next morning they had a double semi trailer take away all the cars that the drivers had gone over the alcohol limit.

i drove past last sat as well after a rave (transmission). Anybody know if they test u for banned substance abuse at these rbts by any chance? Not that i am admitting to useing it here. :wassup:

dude, i drove past you whilst you were pulled over on the side of the road by the cop :wassup:

i don't know if you know that area or not, but its an awesome strip of road to speed on and thats NO secret!!! :D

were the cops sitting on the median strip just past the trees? :)

not trying to justify the crime or anything, but this stretch of road is very straight, with wide dual lane carriage ways and large median strip in the middle. it is a glorious and relatively safe road to go fast on - not that i ever have :)

Hey Frankie... nah he said he got me as i went up the bridge over the M4, i have no idea where he was ...

I was a bit unsure if it was really that fast until i saw the PFC peak hold @ 155km/h.... ooops

its such a tempting road tho dead straight and bump free....

i got caught for 66 over the speed limit..

it is pretty easy to find out what will happen to u u should have just looked at rta website instead of reading most of this speculation!

anyway its six months, and if you exceed your demerit point limit, another three months if you are on your P's, and less if you are on your full license depending on how many points over you are.

i took it to court got it reduced to 250 bucks, although the legal costs made the final cost the same. got the same suspension, ie. 6 months.

i renewed my licence a month ago, drove 600ks in one weekend, and then the next (3 month) period started. so yeah 2 more months for me, join the club and dont stress too much, a lot worse can happen in life than the rta screwing you up!

    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
    • Thanks GTSboy. I will inspect the valves actually, is this something I can do while they are still in the head? The block/bores don’t look bad to be honest hey, I can still see the cross hatches in the bores and they still measure 86.5mm. I’m not sure how to measure the installed ring gaps but I will do that and take it to someone who can. 
    • I’ve had the same headache with my lowered car, scissor jack first then floor jack every time. Ended up grabbing an extra-low profile aluminum jack (about 70mm entry height) and it finally slides under the lip without drama.
