hey guys, to cut a long story short i was done last week for something i didn't do but i'm unsure if i'm going to bother fighting it in court so i'm weighing up my options. Story is that i had 1point left on my license for things that i was stupid enough to do... Then last week they tried to tell me i was doing 107 in a 70 and they suspended my license on the spot and it was 5demerit points... Which means i'm minus 4 at the moment. I do get 3 points back towards the end of this month for an offence 2 years ago. So when i am eligible to get my license back i should be minus 1 point only. However i WAS able to get my full license on the 10.10.09 so what i want to know is do they give your demerit points back after your suspension? Because if they don't then how am i supposed to get my license back if i'm minus 1 point. Keep in mind i was supposed to get my fulls on the 10.10.09 and can i go for them after my 3 month suspension. I was an idiot on my red p's but i did curb my bad driving habits, funny how when you're being good that's when you get done lol

I'm a little confused but i think you're asking if you can stretch it out to get your ponts back before you get the next demerit points, or able to go for your full licence?

Some points to remember.

- Demerit points stay on your licence for 3yrs before they go back.

- You wont be able to go for your fulls untill any fines are paid/settled.

not sure if that answers your question.

Again, I suggest you seek legal advice.

ok haha obviously i didn't explain it properly. Basically i was on 1 point and lost 5 so currently i'm minus 4 points, but i get 3 back before i am due to get my license meaning i will be minus 1 point when i am allowed to get my license back. They obviously can't give me back my license so does this mean it will continue to be suspended until my other points come back onto my license?

Pretty sure that at the end of a suspension (due to loss of all points, not something like speeding on Ps) then you get all the points back.

And by pretty sure I mean, it happened to me... the final straw was no P plates :P

Had no license for 3 months, got it back, had all 6 points, got fulls, have all 12 points. Still have all 12 points to this day :(

Does the suspension extend the time you have to be on your P's though?

ie if you had it suspended for 3 months u have to be on your p's for 3 months longer then if you hadnt been suspended?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but with the new speeding laws, isnt 30-40 over automatic 3 month suspension...Then you have the automatic 3 month suspension for running out of points. So thats a total of 6 months suspended licence. Then you get your full P2 points back. Then you go for your full licence after waiting the week or so for the correct amount of time to pass between the time you got done, and the original 10/10/09 date. Also you cannot go for your full licence on the 10/10/09 if you are currently suspended.

That was the case when i got done on my p's and then ran out of points.

My best advice would be to look on the rta website but i'm sure the above is correct.

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
