Hey,

first off I don't want to hear the flaming. I am on good driving behaviour atm and get my full opens back on 12th August. On Monday the 5th of this month I got done for 33km over and that is 6 points.

I work 48km from home and there is no public transport in mackay so I have no way but to drive to work.

Has anyone ever asked the court if they can get have their lisence back and plea remorse?

Thanks

I dont like your chances dude, unfortunately they will just use the "shouldda thought of that before you drove like that" excuse. Take lube to court. Lots of lube. Double your orignal punishmet and that's when you'll get your license back, then add the fine for the 33km/h over...

Good luck dude.

P.S. Been in this situaion before with a 3 month suspension, there's no way around it.

+1 for taking the lube to court. you're probably going to get fisted by the long arm of the law.

if you get a nice judge you may possibly scrape out of it with a work licence (allowing you to only driving between certain hours), but i find it highly unlikely.

my suggestion, look for accomodation close to work

Apply for a SHO (Special Hardship Order). You will have write an affadavit and get one from your boss explaining your situation and why losing your license would cause a hardship.

It is considered hardship if losing your license means you are unable to keep your job etc. I got one when I got done on my good behaviour period because I had to drive 1.5 hours to work and an hour to uni on some days. No public transport out where I was living at the time.

You won't be able to drive any other time other than that specified on your SHO and you need to keep it in the car at all times.

Good Luck.

6 months for a SHO call up QLD transport and ask them about it or go in to ur local transport/government place and get the forms and talk to them about it. You will have to go to court to get it all approved etc.

Might be stupid question, but how does anyone tell that you are driving on one of these SHOs? And how can they know if you are driving within the conditions of the SHO so they know whether or not to pull you over to check?

Too many people keep getting caught and being charged with "driving while disqualified". SHO seems to half defeat the purpose of being punished for breaking the law.

Solution would be to find someone willing to play chauffeur for the period of your disqualification. Or move closer to public transport.

probably shows up in the police database when they run a rego check on the car. my grandparents got pulled over because the car was registered in my grandfathers name and he no longer has a valid licence (handed his licence in a few years ago due to developing a condition that eventually sends you blind). the police pulled them over to do a licence check and they explained it. funny story though, just as the police officer starts to walk back to the car my grandfather says in a loud voice to my grandmother "good thing they didn't get you blow in the bag". the officer did a quick turn and walked back to the window.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
