Hi everyone

Had an interesting conversation today with the guy at Dept Planning & Infrastructure that takes your licenses off you (he actually remembered me which is quite scary since he has 80 - 150 case files a week)

He was telling me at parliament at the moment is sitting a new proposal in regards to the way you lose your license. Basically the new changes are if you lose your 12 demerit points then you are given a one year good behaviour period in which you are still able to drive but if you lose one or more points in this period then your license is suspended for 6 months. THey will be abolishing extrodinary licenses if this comes into play too.

do you get the option of

"once you hit 12 points you lose it for 3 months"

and "1 year good behavior or 6 months" ?

is is it strictly good behavior or 6 months loss?

because really if you have clocked up 12 points, chances are you wont be able to go 12 months with no points.

I am living proof of that, I lost mine on Easter long weekend 2004 for 3 months and haven't lost any since.

I think it should be compulsary for everyone to lose their licence early so they learn how important it is to have.

P.S. I lost mine for speeding and now I tut at people who speed when its not necessary :P, especially doing 80k's in a 70k zone, I hate the fact that 70 is too slow in those areas, but I swear EVERYONE around me overtakes me doing 80 <_<

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.

      Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.

      Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".

      Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
