damn, sounds like fun (except for the sheep flu part)

Took us until the final day of our travels to spot the tiny tiny little sticker on the passenger side of the windscreen which said "As this is classified as a Heavy Vehicle, the maximum legal speed on New Zealand Highways is 90kmph"... Ooops :P

Bahaha whoops! Speeding fines be coming your way soon!

Not to worry Simon

I got a speeding find in NZ a few months ago

Something like 10km/h over. Was like $30 :D

speaking of fines... apparently getting caught drink driving for the first time is now a $4000 fine... ontop of losing licence, criminal record, breathaliser on car etc.

such a money grab. its already a massive punishment for mis-judging/estimating-how-intoxicated-you-are-before-driving.

why not introduce it for people who blow over 0.08 or something... "only a little bit over" yeah its still bad, but that tiny decimal place would be the most detrimental of your life.

Got a link?

$4000 fine wow

What I've never understood is the 3 points for not displaying P plates fine, i.e. you deserve the same punishment as someone who runs a red light? That's imbalance if there ever was. It shouldn't even be a single point fine.

what are unregoed unlicensed drivers hurting apart from the system.....Thats not even In the same league as drunk drivers man..

get run into by a couple see how you feel about them.

paperwork is hell.

plus

yeah look im not condoning it., but like is said, they are only hurting the system...they are not necassarily a danger to anybody unless they are also intoxicated...

So from this being just over .05 you are double the chance of being in a fatal accident

unlicensed is 2.78

All I know is my lap times on Gran turismo drop dramatically after a couple beers.

pool skills go up tho

i have no idea what you are trying to prove there Martin...lol

I've had this argument plenty of times...criminals be criminals...some reform and learn from mistakes ...others never do and simply appear worse with each misdemeanour as the system attempts to beat them into submission.....they are the ones making up these stats and have little to do with the common law abiding citizen or the common citizen that isn't stupid enough to get caught repeatedly...I'm not even going to waste my time reading it...

    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
