Been looking at the forums for a while now but dont post often. However i had to reply to this.

I was done doing 116 overtaking on princess hwy too! At the time i was overtaking a semi trailer in the rain, pulled in front, then cop parked in bushes ahead of me turned his lights on, i ended up just paying the fine and copping it on the chin but i do feel i was done unfairly. Cant afford to go up in court though as i dont know how much chance i would of had and cant afford to lose more money over it! Also should be noted was driving a camry at the time so not exactly a speed machine!

The cops on the princess hwy are out to make money! many of my mates have been done in similar cirumstances, most unfairly, and all on the stretch from geelong to warrnambool. So beware!

anyways - looks like Im screwed!!

How long does it take to get your points back on your licence???

If you have NSW licence and the offence took place in Victoria, no points will be record against your NSW licence. All you have to do is pay the fine. However VicRoads will keep these points on file for 3 years in the chance you might move to Victoria and change your licence over. You will have 3 points waiting if you move to Vic in the next 3 years ;)

Are you sure about that? The infringement notice read I have lost 3 points - how can I find out how many points I have left on my licence??

I drove from Darwin through SA, into NSW, to the ACT upt to QLD without a fine (yes I was speeding sometimes), got done twice in QLD (nazi coppers) First one was for 112 in a 100 zone just after overtaking. The second one was a bit different, here goes.

I rounded a corner that led upto a steep crest, just after rounding the corner I saw 4 (yes 4) cyclists riding abreast. I had to speed up to get around them before the crest - I had no chance of stopping. So I booted it, got past them just before no go zone of the crest and started slowing down, over the crest - coppers. Got done for 123 in a 100 zone. Told them the story - no excuses - done. Gr33ddy - get ready for a pineapple because thats whats headed your way.

crack smoking friend told me it was an offense to speed up if someone was overtaking you btw.

personally i dont understand the rules on overtaking. only ever do it if someone is well below the speed limit, or driving crazy like. eg, drunk or dumass looking for sidestreet, house number.

the moron I overtook was definitely being a dumbass - swerving over the road and s**t - he was probably pi$$ed!!

Thought Id be safer in front of him.

The moron was probably laughin his head off when he drove past me as I was getting booked!!

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
