....And yes i have been here before 2500 in fines and 3 years without a license down to 500 in fines and 6 months with no license.

Its a fair cop.

3 Years?! Thats a really long suspension. Errr.... mind if I ask what you actually did to get delt out intially such a large suspension period? That is a seriously long time.

um............running a red light is not 'petty shit' people get killed doing that.  tough shit if some kid went to cross the road.  if you think that's petty i sure hope that you dont get your licence back for a long time.  i feel i speak on behalf of a lot of sensible drivers here on SAU.

haha clearly you dont even know the situation.

haha clearly you dont even know the situation.

There is no situation that makes it ok or "less bad" to run a red light, its one of the worst things you can do when driving a car. Its dangerous. People who run red lights kill innocent people. Full stop.

I'm not saying that i know ur situation but i think you should take responsibility for your own actions and cop it. Maybe you shouldn't be driving? If you have only been driving for such a short time and already you are running red lights/speeding etc, maybe you need a break from your licence. It sounds like you didnt learn much whilst you were on ur L plates.

Sorry if i sound harsh but thats what i think. Think about ur actions.

You are in the wrong, bend over and cop it sweet.

what he said

you broke the law on a number of occasions. yet, you want to appeal the loss of a lisence? when you get your lisence it comes with the conditions that you abide by the laws of the road. you broke the law (on number of occasions) and you have to cop it. simple.

you need your lisence for work? should have thought of that mate before you broke the law... that's the responsibility that comes with being 18+ and having a lisence.

i don't mean to be harse here mate, it just sounds a little stupid. its like saying

"i killed a guy, but i can't go to jail as i have work to go to in the morning, so do you think they judge will just let me off?"

Everyones done dumb shit paladin, you included, dont try and deny it. The important thing is whether u learn from it or not.

Hmmm- I find it hard to believe you "learn" from your mistakes if you don't take responsibility for them?

I know a few guys who lost their licences when they were young and stupid, and have come out better drivers because of it (catching public transport for a year will do that to you).

We might not like the laws, but we all said we'd drive to them when we got our licences.

And, I'm with Paladin and xRHETTx - there's no excuse for running a red, or talking on a mobile when you're driving for that matter- that's why God invented the handsfree kit.

messiah,

you are right, everyone has done dumb shite before. i have too in a car, though out of inexperience. but this guy dosent see it as dumb, he see's it as petty. and his suspension not as justice, but as an incovinience. as though he's done nothing wrong. and if he dosent think he's done anything wrong, he'll keep running reds and breaking the law. that's where the problem is.......................

oh true. yeah just got my green p's//

funny tho i still have not been pulled over in my gtr.. yet.

it says i have the right of an appeal, and to lodge one at a local court in nsw within 28 days.

is that a letter or could i just get my solicitor to do so?

Yes everyone has a right to appeal BUT considering the offences you have mentioned the judge will throw it out and the court fees will have to be payed by you for wasting their time.

Id think twice before going to court probably should cop the suspesion and learn from it

Andrew, I believe that you are having your licence suspended due to exceeding 7 demerit points, is that correct? If so from memory the mandatory period of suspension is 6 months. I think the best thing to do is cop it and get it over and done with. you could opt for the 12 months on 1 point thing, but it'll be pretty hard for you to keep that one point for 12 months, and if you do lose that point then you will cop it much worse.

3 month suspension.. but i need my licence for work. i occasionaly drive a light truck to go pick up machines from over nsw.. as my boss dosnt have a licence, he depends on me....

My boss is organising his barrister to do it for me. so hopefully it will work out ok.

i beleive i can be ok on the 1, or 2 point's they give you for however months it is... i'll definatley not be driving the skyline for sure. to and from the track is about all. petrol sucks!!

Anyone selling a cheep shitter with a 10 months rego????

Andrew.

Perhaps you should take these things into consideration before you go running red lights.

If you think that running a red light is petty, you don't deserve a licence.

I need to appeal my licence suspension.

its for petty shit like

talking on phone, red light, and driving a manual when ment to be in an auto.

Andrew.

Yes, yes you did. But enough of the arguing.

I ran a red light once, i was coming up to a left hand turn into a 3 lane road, (so I had a lot of room to do it quickly), and just snuck through after the amber went to red. It was totally safe, and I scanned and shoulder checked. I got my letter in the mail.. 3 points and $xxx ..

I copped it and paid the fine, but if i had done the equivelant in the USA it would have been legal. :rofl:

yeah driving in the states rocks! its right turn on red everywhere! i loved it. got kinda confusing tho.

when i wrote petty shit i didnt mean to include the red light. but just the manual and phone shit.

and i was asking for advice from people. or similar experiences. not idiots telling me what i've done wrong.. you think i dont know already?

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
