Ive appealed and got an extension of my p's for 6 months, its very easy, out of 20 odd people everyone got their license back some with serious offences like 100 in a 60. Have a letter from work or whatever and you will be alright I know someone who has appealed 6 times!!! and he is still allowed to drive.

i recon DUI theres no excuse save your money and learn to catch a bus

if u loose a apeal and lengthening your sentance only applies to criminal matters not driving offences

IE you gotton caught shoplifting you sentance is 12months with non parol of 6 months if u appeal and loose you could very well do the whole 12 months

in ur case you would of lost your license for 12months if u appeal it stays @ 12 months

Hey mate, you have to explain more as to how they got you. Where were you driving? What alcohol reading did you register? Was it a random breath test or a setup one?

Have a look over the notice they gave you. Look for any errors they may have done. I have gotten off a hindering charge because they used my dads licence number for indentification purpose (Ie sayin it was proof it was me). But i must say mate, with a dui, you will cop a loss of licence no matter what. There is no good behaviour agreement you can enter. That only applies to traffic infringements.

I've been done for two dui's myself, so been through it all. The first i was lucky and the judge saw my side and gave only a month ban, but that was because of guys tryin to take my rims off, so i moved it closer to the hotel door and got pinged. Was a trifling case, so thats why judge took sympathy. Best advise is to ring a lawyer and see what they have to say. If they reckon nothing you can do, then just cop it sweet mate and use the time to learn and even modify your car. Also only pay for a lawyer if you need it. No point they show up, cop the same sentence you would have on your own, then also have to fork out a grand for em.

Well any more questions just shoot, havent really read back on what i said, so probably is all mumbo jumbo :happy:

DUI, ur probs f**ked, but fair enough.

if it was loosing ur license over somthing else, u can go to the courts and appeal it, and u will have ur license extended past the day of disqaulification till ur court case, this all costs about $82 i beleive. u will then be seen infront of a jugde and they will decide whether u get ur license back. usually u will if u have enough reason, if u dont u loose it for the same amount as u would have before. if ur successful in getting it back, u come back with 1 point left and if u f**k up again and loose that point, than from what i beleive the loss is longer than previously, for instance from 6 months to 12 months.

well this is the case for me, im going through it at the moment, but DUI is pretty serious, g/l with getting a judge to reason with it. but i thought with DUI u automatically go to court?

Interesting mate......... i wouldn't get done again if i were you, a mate of mine VERY stupidly got done 3 times after having a bretho in his car the second time he got locked up at Yatala for 2 weeks. Mind you he came out quit his job and now runs his own shop! Me thinks it was actually good to get locked up because now he wont touch a car, well that is also because he has lost his licence INDEFINATLY! just food for thought mate!

    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
    • Maybe I should have written that a bit better lol. I did come 8th last in English at school during the HSC, ironically spent 2 decades reading/writing specifications and contracts in IT 😂
    • Right, but that's in-cylinder, there's the interaction between that and the TWC which complicates things. Pulling out timing to reduce NOx is a strategy I saw in transitional emissions vehicles like stuff from 1974 or so. The two inlet runner system is interesting but I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as far as emissions goes, is it a tumble valve? I've seen stuff like that even in cars from the late 80s. 
    • Hello all,   so i recently swapped out my rb20de neo with an rb25de neo( engine,transmission, wiring and the diff everything) but i just cant get the gear indication light on the dash to work when i switch to tiptronic mode. Note there is a steering wheel switch beside the shifter and i dont have that. I did notice yesterday while switching to tiptronic that the indicator on the dash started to work but it didn't afterwards. Does anyone know how this actually works? Or do i still need that steering wheel switch to be connected and on for that gear indicator to work?
