hey

I was driving back from Yanchep on Saturday the 20th Oct on Marmion Ave 90km zone stuck behind a few slow cars doing about 80km I think one was towing a caravan . so when the next overtaking Zone (extra lane for about 1KM) came up I put my foot down and got passed them but just as I was just pulling back into the left lane doing about 125km I got flashed :banana:

i think its F#@%ing Bull$*&t!!!!! Because it was a singed overtaking zone.

I’m on my P plates and want to know what I’m in for :thanks:

Can anyone help me out so I know what I’m in for?

Exactly what is bull$hit about it? just cause its an overtaking zone doesnt mean u go 35km over the limit to overtake. If you can't ovetake safely within the speed limit then you shouldn't have done so.

You are gonna cop $350 and 5 demerits info courtesy of http://www.officeofroadsafety.wa.gov.au/in...topicsPenalties

Thanks for the fast replies

at first I thought I might get $350 fine and 5 points as on RAC website but then my mate told me that more than 29KM over is loss of licence because I am a P plater! :thanks:

I have looked all over the net and can’t find anything to back this up any thoughts?

cheers!

Yeah as said above, despite common belief, overtaking lanes are only used to over take people who are doing less than the speed limit, meaning you overtake them doing the speed limit (or less).

Be glad you didn't get pulled over doing it, from what I remember when you're doing 35 above they can also press dangerous driving charges.

Pay the fine, loose the points and learn from the mistake.

When it comes to overtaking, you can go above the speed limit by 10%. In other words, in that 80 zone, you can over take at a max speed of 88 km/h. Mind sound like crap, cause it takes forever to get past, but that is how it is. Bad luck mate.

Don't know where you read/heard that, but according to the road rules book you are not allowed to exceed the speed limit to overtake.

As for radar detectors, mine must be crap because it only detects them like 100m away max (usually less) even when there is no traffic around. Still, a little warning is better then no warning.

It depends on if your licence is suspended or cancelled. If it is suspended you don't need to resit the test, but if it is cancelled you have to resit the learners test and the driving test again (not the hazard perception test & log book though).

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
