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.

    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
