I take it you are referring to driving the Daewoo not the Skyline...

Not speeding again in a Daewoo is a fair enough punishment.

I also had that happen to me. I got written up with one of those hand written tickets and I didn't bother paying.

The blue reminder notice never came.

I've had it where they sent one notice and they never sent any further. I asked them to look up my record and there wasn't any note than anything was issued.

If they send 2, 3 or more notices well then obviously mean business.

Has anyone heard of the 200 meter rule either side of a speed sign change.

eg. If u are within 200m of an 80 zone and doing 80 in a 60 zone then u will not get booked and visa versa from a 80 to a 60 zone u can be doing 80 for 200m into the 60 zone.

Hope u can make sense of this.

I think its true as I have tested it many times and just yesterday a cop was going the opposite way to me while I was in the 60 zone doing bout 75 only about 100m from the 80 zone.

Wrong rego written = :)

When i forgot my money for the M2 toll they wrote the wrong rego on the ticket ($3.80) which had to be paid within 3 days. WooHoo saved nearly $4! But someone who probably lived 500km's away was going to get a debt recovery notice. So after countless hr's of thought and deliberation i decided to pay :(

Sure wasn't easy... $3.80 = 12 minutes of work....

Damo i'm with you on that one.

Although i've seen the PoPo's radaring on the freeway when it goes from 110 to 80 directly behind the sign. I think you'd only have a 50/50 chance in court of getting off though.

They say the law is not BLACK & WHITE . Sure isn't for the cops i see fanging around the place!

In NSW the SOPS (cops Standard operating procedure) is that the no longer radar within 200m of a change of speed sign (except school zones) or on a downhill section.

This is only the case if you are doing say 80 in a 60 zone with in 200m of the speed change.....but if you are doing 100, you WILL be booked.

      They also make them with the motor mounted on the side

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!

      Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
