Wtf? some of these dont make any logical sence. Like the queensland rail fines .. where drinking alcohol has a less fine than drinking softdrink.

Failing to stop at a red light is only $135

but using a mobile while driving is $225, and going 20 over is $250

now what more dangerous, running a red light or talking on your mobile.

Hmmm

I wouldn't be complaining too much.

Most of those fines are about 50% less cost involved than Victoria.

And if you get $150 fine or above you can pay it off over 3 months! how easy is that. Again -no way in Victoria. You get a $300 fine you gotta pay $300 straight up.

And who said that eating and drinking while driving was a demeritable fine? I don't see any mention in there??

more dangerous is drink/drug and drive but since politicians do it, so they can get away with it.

going off topic a little bit while browsing other pages of transport.... QT - Step 2 getting started page

quote: "Introduce driving skills ... in the back paddock."

good to see they showed some good ol' bogan-ness and encourage youngies to bush bashing.

yeah iw as done the second day of the new speed fines... 112 in 60, instant 6 months :D next day i got 80 in 60, same spot :)

going to a a place where an old mate is r00ting your gf, is not a good enough excuse. the first one I was held there for an hour... untill a patrol car showed up.(because the undercover cop didnt have ticket book)

ok now this is f**king dumb as I person that rides a push bike on the roads a lot this is why ppl get killed on bikes :)

Roundabouts (s111, s119)

(THIS IS 4 CARS)

--> The drivers of vehicles who want to turn right at two-lane roundabouts are required to enter the roundabout and complete the turn, from the right hand lane.

--> As a cyclist, you are exempt from this requirement and may enter the roundabout and complete a right hand turn from either the left lane or the right lane.

--> As a cyclist, if you choose to make a right turn from the left lane, you are effectively changing lanes each time you ride past an exit. As such, you must give way to any vehicle that is crossing your path to leave the roundabout.

Cyclists may turn right from the

right lane of two-lane roundabouts

Cyclists may also turn right from the left lane of two-lane roundabouts, but must give way to vehicles that cross their path

so as to what I said above being on a bike if you r riding around the round about in the left lane you have to look over ur shoulder & see if any cars r going to exit befor you ride across the exit but you can also ride in the right lane & slow traffic while you ride around the round about in the right lane befor you exit

WHAT THE F**K

sorry put some one needs to take a look at the road rules !!!!!! :)

sorry 4 going off but the amount of ppl I have doing dumb shit around me while I am riding is well yeah not funny

I find it immensly amusing the way police focus on "speed" and defects when out on patrol, yet the most dangerous manouvers are performed by Joe Average in his camry doing the speed limit or below in a stock car.

In fact, if I was in a ranting mood I reckon I could fill 4 or 5 pages. But I'm not. So I'll substitute it all with an emoticon.

:)

lol.. I have Mike.. I've ridden from the westside to the southside...

Depends on what kinda people are riding...

I see phuckwits who ride in the middle of the road when there's a desginated

bike path for them... (not saying your one of them) but those people do not

indicate when they're slowing down. turning, hold up traffic, and weave in between

cars to get to the front of the pack (at a red light) - alah they hold the whole pack

up... all depends on the driver AND the cyclist.

but also with that when I get cruzing (60km/h) riding on the bike path is not to safe I stick to the bike lane's where I can but the thing that really shits me is when ppl come so close to you that they hit you with there side mirror even when there is a bike lane or just cut infront of you to go around the corner instead of waiting 4 you to ride past the street

When will the police get a brain and realise that focusing on a minority (skylines etc) doesnt affect road safety whatsoever.

Mainly because.... WE ARE A MINORITY!

Idiots, if they took every skyline off the road it would affect accident/road safety by like 0.05%. Because there is hardly any of us.

Focus on commodores for example, and your getting somewhere because there is shitloads of them.

Common sence mr popo man

I thought people joined the police to 'make a difference'. The only things i see police doing are fining people for driving offeences or stopping teenagers and searching their bags for some weed. This isnt making a difference to society.

And how Drink Driving is a less of a punishment than speeding is beyond me, what a joke.

/ :rant:

understandable Mike...

Caillan, it aint ALL the commodores either... anyone can be an idiot in any car...

cops just focus too heavily on the skylines cos of the high performance import

factor... everyone assumes u want a skyline so you can drive fast...

they're not wrong:aroused: but we're responsible lil SAUers right?!

When will the police get a brain and realise that focusing on a minority (skylines etc) doesnt affect road safety whatsoever.

Just imagine how the cops would be if we were black, gay, midget, skyline drivers....

    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
