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

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...

    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
