I just got a 9 month suspension and $750 fine for Reckless Driving (inherently dangerous). My story in short (on my statement of material facts) is that I was doing 204kmph in a 100 zone, with a passenger, and left 75m worth of skids before doing a 180 spin and bogging the car. Very bloody stupid of me... and even more so for putting my (ex now) best mate in severe danger.

Just out of curiostity, Whats your worst conviction?

Im just interested because I think I was very lucky and got a very low penalty for what I did. Im far from gloating. Im a fckn idiot for doing what I did, especially endangering the life of my passenger.

There were about 10 driving charges I saw in court this morning and some people do some crazy shit, so Im just wondering if anyone else would care to share what theyve done.

turned the corner on the horseshoe bridge (on the way up) too fast and screeched my tyres...... and then 3 cops on bikes at the blue cat stop turned around and rode towards me and pulled me over on wellington st...

100$ fine for not having my P's up... consider myself lucky...

but other than that, in my 5 yrs of having my license, clean sheet... go me... *touches wood*

I got done for not paying my rego (3 weeks or so overdue) and the cop gave me a court summons for it. I had to either go to court and plead guilty, or fill in a form saying that I plead guilty. inc $200 fine

BTW.. i was doing nothing wrong, going the speed limit, indicating etc.. he was just a di ckhead cop with nothing else better to do (obviously they rid WA of criminals that day) :P

Well i just got miy lic back today. Lost it for :

90 in a 70 -3 points

0.06 on double demrits/fast eddies run - 6points

and last but not least "turning in front of oncoming traffic" - 3points

The last one consquently wrote off a 86 corrola that nailed me in the ass and caused a fair amount of damage to the supra. 3 weeks later i got it out of the repair shop and went for a cruise.

3 Points and $150. Was originally Reckless driving charge (9 points and ?????I think) but I fought it in court.

Tried to outrun a cop on a motorbike through the suburbs. He claimed in court that I reached 150km/h on a particular street. I presented a Lands and Survey Department map that showed the street was only 300 metres long and argued that my car (which was wrongly described in the police statement as a Nissan Pulsar) could not possibly have done that as it "was only a 4 cyl Nissan" and that the cop was grossly exagerating the facts.

The judge said I wasn't an angel but he sided my way more than the cop's and hence discounted the charge considerably.

I was driving my old S15 at the time which was running a Garret GT25/35 supported by big injectors, PFC, front mount etc.

Oh, btw, I think that the cop was actually pretty well on the money with his statement - just wrote down the car model by mistake!

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
