Although the Liberals have said that they will bring back the 10%, they are also making speeding penalties harsher.

ATM, if you get done by less than 15km/h, you score 1 demerit point. You can do this as many times in a year until you lose your licence.

Under the Liberal proposal, you will score 1 point for your first offence and then it will increase to 3 points for the second offence in a year and then 6 points, etc.

I'm still voting for the 10% though ;)

Yep, you're right Leewah.

Here is the full policy (including Leewah's information) if anyone is interested...

I did have a look, and there is no road safety policy published on the ALP Victoria website.

Cheers.

I see this as a desperate attempt by liberal to gain votes. Once/if they get into office they will realise that they can't live without the revenue because the Bracks government has become almost reliant on it in some ways and they would probably just increase the fine amount if you are outside the 10% tolerance... either way if I was over 18 I would vote for Labour because they have overall done a good job in their previous term. my 2c :)

All I have to say to that is wait until you actually get you licence and get a fine for doing 57 in a 50 zone (Like I did a few weeks ago)!!!! As for the realisation that they cannot live without the revenue, wasn't it the Kennet government that cleaned up the massive financial mess/debt that Labour created??????????? Labour cannot live without the extra revenue, not the Liberals.

Bring back the 10% I say. Getting a fine for 54 in a 50 zone is just ludicrous, ridiculous, and completely lacking logic.

The Ford EA Falcon came out of the factory with a dodgy speedo. When the speedo says you're on 100, you're actually doing 105! This was in an issue of Wheels mag a while back. What hope have we got!!!!!

As far as I'm concerned Bracksy boy ( :whackit: ) can get stuffed :upurs: !!!!!

I can see your point, but you have to admit that Liberal's entire campaign is based around self-interest. Bracks has done a decent job as far as the economy is concerned in his last term, but anyway my point was that Liberal is just appealing to self interest when they should be looking after state issues such as health care, police, drought relief etc. Sure they will get votes, but it is yet to be seen if they can run the state.

why do we have to kill inark? it's too cruel... we can think of something else, right? he doesn't have to be dead... what could be worst than eternal suffering? :devfu:

Once you are the leader, you should be able to do anything, right? Behind closed door, of course... :chairshot:

a dead nark is better than a live one, besides, its not like he's got any purpose... he's like kiwis (the bird, not the people)... furry flightless and better off as roadkill

In Victoria speedo's are only allowed to be 10% pessimistic and 0% optimistic. So if your doing 100 and your speedo says your doing 90 then it’s ok. However, If you are doing 101 and your speado says your doing 100 then it is considered un-roadworthy.

You don’t have an excuse for speeding because your speedo was out. In saying that I would still vote liberals and the 10% rule in.

whoever votes for the Liberals just to have the 10% rule reinstated has no idea of the real world. I wish the 10% leniency was reinstated myself as I got a speeding ticket not long ago for doing 64 in a 60 zone but I wouldnt vote for the libs for only that reason. I dont know how many times (if ever) some of you have voted but just think a little bit harder and read a few more newspapers

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
