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.

      The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 🤣

      That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.

      Probably the cam.

      The GTR strut brace clears the new manifold.. by about 0.5mm. So this means I need to buy an OEM GTT Strut brace (again), which will clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. I guess I can sell the GTR Strut brace with the bonnet with the vents as a package deal as someone will need this one day. So my choices are vented bonnet but no strut brace, or GTR Bonnet with OEM brace (which I have to buy) but is bright red instead of the same colour as the rest of the car, which means the entire front end of the car will just be red until it goes back to paint jail. In other news the engine starts and doesn't leak. Why both O2 narrowband sensors think the tune is rich AF I do not know. The idle is also pretty shitty and my expensive IAT sensor from the USA is dead. The car sounds awful. But I assume or at least hope this is due to the many exhaust leaks, and the concrete garage it is in, sitting there with 0 intake bolted to it, and no bonnet or panels or anything to stop the induction/intake sound which is about 200db.

      C'mon! At least come kicking and screaming into the 2000s. BA XR8 bulge.
