Lol, I thought it was your job to watch your own speed, as you ARE the driver? I think if you are old enough to drive, you should be old enough to take the responsibility of your actions :P

Cmon give him a break, 5ks?

So I ever see you driving 5ks over the limit i will call you irresponsible too?

I'd put in under my oldies too, they're pretty strict when you're on your Ls

I wouldn't risk saying it was you........

The writing a letter and getting a warning only works if you've had 3 full years driving history with a clean record and it's your first fine, and that doesn't include the learner period. P's or full licence only...

Well, my folks are paying it because they are they driver really, they should be watching the speed for me and advising me not to speed

This infuriates me.

I didn't call him irresponsible for speeding, but I said since he WAS driving, he should take the consequences of his own actions.

When I do get done for speeding, I cop it on the chin and learn from it, that's how you'd learn. You do the crime, you do the time.

Simple as that.

Having your L's is the same as on your P's, you can't get more than 5 points in a period of 12 months.

5k's over = 1 point, and like $140 fine.

$146 ain't a huge sum to pay, but the points.. ooooh..

then again, i have better things to do with $146, but i'm sure you've seen the thread about them clamping the cars of people who don't pay up. So, you'd better pay.

But i'm sure if it was a speed camera, they snap the picture, and the fine goes straight to the registered owner of the car, correct me if i'm wrong.

That's correct. Also I don't think it really matters if your L plates were up or not, you can just say that your parents paid for it without requesting for a photo, so they didn't know that your L plates was up and you were driving. But then again, do they even check?

But funny thing is, SAU doesn't condone illegal things and isn't this illegal? :)

Mate, you should have your eyes pinned to the speedo, so should your parents. I dunno who is worse. I know that when I was on my L's if I was speeding or doing anything wrong I knew about it straight away. The whole point on learning to drive is learning how to drive properly - this INCLUDES not speeding. I mean fark, a ticket on your L's, what will your P's and full licence going to bring?

Yes, people make mistakes but if you do happen to then man up and cop it on the chin, don't be a child. If you cop it sweet and learn then you've done the right thing and FFS, pay the fine yourself.

/end rant :laugh:

While i was on my learners the moment i managed like 3k or whatever over my dad would make this really annoying disapproving noise...soon taught me to watch my speedo a bit more often so as to avoid it cuz it got on my nerves lol. I got my first ticket a year or 2 into my Ps...10km over...car was in my dads name so the fine was sent to him (camera fine) and i legitimately thought it was a 110 zone not 100 so it was an honest mistake...but after umming and ahhing over whether i should take the point until it was too late, my dad took the point and i paid the fine...with P plates up and he wasnt also fined or anything. Just to answer the question from earlier...about Ls and P plates for a full licensed driver generating another fine. I was prepared to take the point, parents chose to instead however.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
