You have no right of appeal on the RTA Suspension as stipulated by NSW Law.

However, i could take a 1 year good behaviour license... but mid 20's, V35.... no way id make it through.

This is Australia... You can always appeal :D ... Who told you you can't? the cops?

Im surprised you only got 3 months, 55 over the limit is instant 6 months.. + 1600$ fine...

If you're suspended on the basis of the 45 over you can appeal on the basis of good driving record/character... assuming you have that... You've got a double whammy though in that you also got done for points, and as you say you're suspended for points.. You can still appeal on the grounds that a) if you have a clean driving record b) it was double demerits and wouldnt be suspended on points otherwise.. depending on the judge you can very likely get the suspension lifted, but still pay the fine n lose the points.. actually wait, now that i remembered the courts have no power to restore points.. yep you're boned :)

Just out of curiosity how about a track day?...wld people be interested in that?

Alternatively, what about a skidpan day?

$200 a head, minimum 10 people. More people doesn't lower the price per person, so it depends on how many people we get interested.

If we can get around 20-25 people, booking out Wakefield for a private day won't cost much more than a regular open day. We can carry passengers on a private day, though. The track is booked pretty solidly this year, however.

Hey scathing, although id do a track day, i don't think id be interesting in having my car in a drift day...

My Pirelli tyres are way too expensive to be burning out, as are my DBA brake pads! hahaha

In saying that, whats the average price of slicks nowadays?

Yeh, you wont get much wear on them, but skidpan?....i mean its all fun and stuff i its kinda repetitive, round and round we go.

lol...oh im taking a right turn...another right turn, omg here i must turn it right!

Still think Track day is better, plus it says skidpan is full license lol...not quite there yet.

if they had a spare car for us to use just for drifting then why not hehe. to costly! lets just go paintball! hehehe

Or we could get paintball guns n take them to the track and shoot each other whilst racing around the track.. That way we do two birds with one stone... Although that is pretty dangerous, I don't wanna get paint on my car that may not come off :D

    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
