They were bloody ****y the officers and wen i asked for advice next time they gave me sarcastic and stupid remarks, but i cant write that in the letter if im wanting to get off it

Dale, I'm afraid that you are learning the hard way mate.

Take your speeding to the track - it's much more fun - less dangerous and cheaper in the long run !

If you were being chased you should have pulled over into a highly populated area with lots of lights, or servo or something rang the cops on your mobile -

000 is your friend !

Why were you being chased anyway ? I grew up in St Ives lived there for 15 odd years - and I nerver saw any of this sort of behaviour. I also drive through there regularly on my way to stuff - and to visit my oldies. So my thinking is that there must have been some sort of reason as to why you were being chased.

If you were really being chased you would be too glad your limbs are all still attached rather than carrying on about losing your licence.

As Brendan said it sounds like you're learning the hard way. There are rules, break them and there are consequences. "but but, I have an HSC exam to drive to" doesn't cut it, if I was a magistrate who heard that I'd tell you to catch the bus. You should have gone to a lit area, a cop shop, a servo or called the cops. What will speeding do if you get chased? The chaser will speed too. Now you have two cars screaming through the streets - it's probably the dumbest thing you can do, no offence. You're still young and learning, just make sure you DO learn or you'll just continue making life more difficult than it needs to be.

As for 17 year olds doing 30km/h above the limit in a suburban area, I don't approve of that at all. There's a reason why you've lost 7 points, and it's not "because life's unfair". Think about it.

No "live and learn" comments from me mate... You already know that. We all went through the same trials and tribulations with speeding fines when we were younger.

(Geez, I sound like an old fart)

Cliffnotes: Bummer. Don't expect your letter to do anything as it's not your first offence, and that's a pretty lame excuse I'm sure the Police and the Magistrates have heard countless times hs.gif

    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
