Hay, that Rolla cops it! Foot flat, hit rev limiter, go to 2nd, hit rev limiter, go to drive! I drove a GTS-X for 6 months! I am nowing driving VN 5ltr. I speed EVERYWHERE! Just lucky I think!

heeh well i got outta a 6point fine too I was tailgating an unmarked police car, 80 in a 60 zone, 80 in a 40 zone and i must admit to wearing a very short skirt that day haha

I have a radar detector but even thats not going to save you at more than 10kms over the speed limit. They just dont give enough warning.

Gotta agree with Dan and GST-T VSpec, guys very rarely get let off for anything, while a female friend of mine was left off for 120 in a 60 zone while on P's a few years back. I get busted for 5kms over the speed limit in a 100 zone. LOL

Well all this talk about fines and points... bah, got pulled over today by a cop with a radar gun on my way to work... 73km in a 60km zone, $100 fine and 2 demerit points... bah :D Least he didnt say anything about my intercooler, chopped front bar and number plate stuck to one side :P

I have lost my license a couple of times over the years but not recently. My demerit points tend to hover around 6 - 11. I tend to get got by multinova's doing 70 in a 60 zone ...you know those crazy duel carriageway 60 zones that could pass for freeways.

Anyhow ...I am convinced it all depends on how much driving you do. I do about 30,000 km a year so I guess my exposure to multinova's is greater than the average person who drives to work and stays there.

lost 12 points and licence in the first year of owning the car (92 n/a silvia) , lost licence for 3 months, and they gave me another year of p's when i got the licence back.

Lost licence roughly another year after that.

Lost 3 point during that time before they came round to get my licence, so i was down to 9 before i even started driving again.

Lost another 3 for some stupid 50kmph cr*p.

Crashed silvia in freak driving mishap at collie racetrack.

No fines whatsoever in skyline since, i think i'm a changed man.

:)

still speed though...

Damo.

    • Fk me, I guess next time I will try to use the onsite attachments feature. I find it hard to work with so far though because I can't move the images to where I want them to be. I will try to make a separate post with just images. As for lifting. The work I need to do for now involves the exhaust and engine mainly, so the arm covering the jacking points is not a problem. But I don't want to bend in the whole sill or underfloor by lifting the car at the original jack points. I found some rubber blocks, 125 by 125 with a 10mm wide and 10mm deep cutout, which I'm hoping will work for not hitting the jacking rail. The sidemember, as seen in the service manual, are the rectangular frame rails that come from the front of the car and go alongside the gearbox and downpipe. Those that get crushed inwards if you use them for a floorjack. They are already slightly bent in from being used to hoist by other people. I think cutting off the jacking points and welding or bolting on a reinforcement plate along the sill might not be a dumb idea. Or is it dumb?     A 2 post hoist is what I'm gonna work with, but not for any underbody work, just leaky engine and exhaust work so far. Depends on what else I find that might need immediate attention. For metalwork on the sills I think I'd just bring the car to a panel beater. What's your take on getting rid of the original jacking rails and putting reinforcement plates along the sills?
    • Yeah titanium always looks cool but I don't need that, just regular pipes would be fine. But I am really struggling to find any full hardpipe kit that is still for sale.
    • Saruthewhite hasn’t been on our site since November 2016 sorry mate
    • Note when Duncan says that, he means "when you're not using the correct lifting points on the sills, because you want to work on the sills. A 2 post hoist is not appropriate for everything anyway, and working on the sills is a good example of that, because the arms go under ths sills anyway. You're better off finding another way to support the car off the ground. Beyond that everything else D said is correct. Only the dedicated jacking points are the correct place to lift. Anywhere else is incorrect, extra caution and awareness must be used, etc etc.
