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!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
