  1. I don't mean to sound cynical but if that's what really happened then you should have disputed the penalty.
  2. While the finding re: Ms Henley is a little surprising I don't think we can fully appreciate her circumstances since (presumably) nobody here knows the full story or was present at her hearing. Nor can we fully appreciate the disposition of the presiding magistrate and thus fully understand his judgment of the issue. That being said she probably had a hell of an advocate who must of been particularly proficient in the art of persuasion (it is, after all, their job). Ostensibly one of the main arguments Ms Henley sought to advance, amongst others, was that without her license she would have lost her job and that this would have adversely affected her family. Hence a preference for a finding that allowed her to keep driving. Motorists frequently seek to have their licenses restored, having been found driving whilst disqualified, on the grounds that they require their license to remain gainfully employed. In light of any criminal offence section 10 of the CSP Act applies to everyone (and every charge) equally. A view to the contrary would be repugnant to the fair administration justice. As far as NSW laws are concerned there is nothing that precludes the application of s 10 in matters of drink driving. The anomalous issue is that a driving offence as serious as DUI carries with it no sanction in the form of demerit points, hence why Ms Henley received no demerit points; surely a pragmatic oversight of the law makers who would have assumed that anyone charged with such an offence would have had their license disqualified. An order under s 10 acknowledges guilt without, however, proceeding to conviction. This is why Ms Henley's license was not revoked. This is where I have a particular problem with the decision. Effectively the court, in making an order under s 10, extra-juridically qualifies the rules of the RTA. Recall that a magistrate may dispense with traffic offences under s 10 and waive fines etc. but they CAN NOT stop an offender accruing demerit points. If Ms Henley had of disputed her guilt in the matter (i.e. pleaded not guilty) and subsequently "beat the charge" then, at least on legal grounds, I'd be comfortable with the decision. None of this is meant to be taken as legal advice. At any rate, siddr20, you should consult a lawyer if you want to dispute the penalty.
  3. I'd go as far as to say that maybe they might egg you on and go to the speed limit, but as soon as your speed fairly exceeds the signpost they'll pull you over.
  4. Anyone ever play that card game with your footy/basketball cards where you had to flick it at a wall and whoever was closest collected the other(s) cards? Speaking of cards, remember collecting bball and footy cards? I also remember aroona spring water for some reason and those little lollies that came in mini milk cartons, can't remember what they were called. Handball/Bullrush at little lunch/big lunch (recess/lunch to the formal few).
  5. ^^^ I was thinking the exact same thing, bit hypocritical hey?
  6. Was it a gtr? Had a gtr wing but didn't get a good enough look to determine if it was real or not.
  7. Another domestic bayside blue GT-R that's (in)famous is evlgtr
  8. One thing you have to be careful of though is making sure that the paint doesn't build up in between the fins and cause a restriction, so make sure you use a 'thin' paint and a couple of light coats. Other than that any automotive paint will work fine, even the general shit you buy at bunnings will do the job provided it applies to a metal surface.
  9. Feel of the MY04+ WRX box is nice imo, a bit clunky at times but probably more due to AWD+being new to it. I have also found FWD boxes smoother however one of the nicest feeling in terms of throw and takeup would have to be a mx-5.
  10. And?
  11. Probably because the compressor is creating a vacuum like situation on the intake side (it's still spinning), hence the air doesn't necessarily go out the air filter. That's just my thinking anyway. Theoretically not having a BOV should be bad if the airflow is going back through the compressor because it will slow it down, bad for getting back on boost (driveability) and bad for the turbo because of extra stress on the shafts/bearings or whatever. In practice though it seems that maybe the vacuum created in the plenum once you've closed the throttle may make the air suspend or at least force its way towards the plenum, which is what you guys have experienced. Mind you this is taking into consideration quick/high rev changes. The part-throttle/low rev changing may change the way some of the airflow behaves given compressor speed etc.
  12. *grabs popcorn*
  13. How bout building an RB30 for it, use a RB25 head if you want some RB25 in it.
  14. AAU anyone? It's more like Alcoholics Australia (Who Drive Skylines), hell i wan't to get in on the action regardless of what i drive, and i haven't driven a skyline for about 16 months, drinking ftw! I have yet to meet worthy opponents on a drinking scale, but i am only a young padawan, and ever since getting fit i process my alcomahol too quick...
  15. The wonderland carpark would be a good idea if its still availiable, as long as that baby shit smell from the tip isn't wafting over like it does at WSID sometimes...
  16. Those wheels are terrible...
  17. So you guys built it, and where is it now? UAE?
  18. I'd also be interested.
  19. Was just flicking through the powerplay gallery... http://www.powerplayimports.com/minigal/in...2006&page=8 So that's what they did with the kickbacks...
  20. Isn't that windsor road?
  21. I don't usually like tri-spoke wheels, but damn that side shot looks mean.
  22. Dude, it's channel 9.
  23. Dog/Synchro are different engagement types. Straight/Helical are the cut types (tooth profiles).
