Andrew the problem is that you probably got crap advice that there was a way of getting around the los of points. Gee, wouldn't that be novel from a Govt agency!

Seems like they are saying that once you lost the points there should have been a suspension there and then and you probably shouldn't have been able to do the P off course.

But something doesn't quite make sense. Why would they take so long to suspend you licence??????

I'd encourage you to pursue this and get all of the facts. Sometimes they screw up - might not have a record of your P off course etc.

Best of luck

yep no joke, i got a letter yesterday saying my license is being supended from the 3rd of March due to a fine i got nearly 2 years ago!!!!! i lost 4 points for speeding in my lancer then did the "P Off" course and gained an extra 4 points so i wouldnt lose it, i actually called the dickson office to find out if there was anything i could do at the time and they told me to do this course!!! they have now said that the loophole has closed and are issuing me with the suspension due to the fine incured in May 2003, i am so calm at the moment because i simply cant beleive that this is happening, but i also simply cant beleive the government thinks they can do this to me and get away with it! esp when im starting a career launching job in a month!!!! the girl i talked to from dickson just a few minutes ago basically said theres nothing i can do and tough sh*t, so i told her i'll be taking it to court and theres no way they'll be getting away with this!!!!

IM SO FU**ING ANGRY!!! AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

ouch bro so sorry to hear it. i feel ya pain though i have lost it twice both 6 months. wasnt good but i still drove. i had to or else i would have lost my job. ask them to give u an option of driving for 1 year with 1 point they might accept it

fu** that!!! fact is i did the course i had to do at the time, got my points back and paid the fine and was allowed to keep my lisence, and they are now saying they are taking off me because they have decided to change a law? good luck! i'm 19, been driving a modded turbo skyline for a year now and hav'nt gotten 1 fine, i should be getting a f**ing medal for fu**s sake~!

One worth fighting Andrew. There appears no justice for the injustice they're attempting. You did the right thing at the right time and NOW they wish to penalise further. That's Bullsh!t.

Stick to your Guns and you will be victorious. Any chance you know a Lawyer or freind of one?

Deffo fight for this one.

You took their option in good faith, you got your points back, you paid the fine, and THEY changed their minds *after the fact*

The fact that they took the points off, to me says that they accepted that you did the course, which worked, as you have not received any further points/fines......

How can they do it rectroactivley?

yeah i know this one lawyer richard i guess you might call him my......... brother lol, so legal fees wont be an issure for me! i know the gov has done some nasty sh*t lately but this has just gone way to far!!! funny coincidence though that i get my full license just days before the suspension ends huh?

Damn.... tahts no good Andy.

I get my licence back tomorrow... YAY!!!! sorry to rub it in.. :)

Fight it, they cant do that to you 2 yrs later..

If this is all true, then heaps of people are gonna loose there licence now.... Sounds STUPID to me....

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Yeah I don't think they can do that. Your case would have been closed almost two years ago. They cannot just reopen it and expect you to comply. There will be some sort of tribunal you should be able to go to and get this removed.

absolute bull. You did the right thing at the time, they shouldn't punish you for it now. And if you did exploit a loop-hole, it should be their fault for not controlling it in the first place. Good luck mate, i hope it works out.

You should loose your licence, should have lost it a long time ago, should be locked up....................for wearing muscle shirts and dressing in the colour pink...................... :jk: :kick:

But I reckon they are totally f@#*ed up trying to invoke something that happened before Saddam was in gaol. Fight 'em mate, go to it. I reckon a judge would laugh at 'em, you'd win easy.

yeah the p off course cost me $66 and took the better part of one of my sundays, thing is pretty much everyone in the room (about 20 of us) was doing the course for the same reason i was to gain points after a loss, im still just in disbeleif over the whole thing!

Hey bro, I got stung with a neg driving charge for failing to signal a couple of years back. Fought it and fought it and called all there blufs and got it downgraded to a fail to signal fine!

Truth is they dont know what they are doing 99% of the time! You will win if you fight!

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
