I cant find a direct answer anywhere, trying to find out if going from probationary to full liscence, whether your points reset or just gain extra points. So for e.g. if i lost 3 on my green Ps and left with 2, will i reset to 12 on my fulls or will i just bump up to 9?

The demerit points you accrue are removed 3 years after the date you were convicted of the offence.

This means either from your court date, or the date you paid the fine.

In qld they do reset when you change to an open license no matter how long ago the offence was committed. :)

There is nothing worse than fixing up previous owners shonky jobs.

Cheers for the info :). So i reset after 3 years? too easy. So hard to navigate through all those vic roads pages =='

If only Victoria was like queensland, their slightly more lenient with issues like these :(

The VicRoads page is actually pretty reasonable, it does spell it out pretty clearly.

Where you've got confused is thinking going from Ps to Fulls - you get a reset. VicRoads website does not say that at all, in fact it does not distinguish between P or Full as the Demerit Point system applies regardless. It's just the amount of points you can accrue on Ps/Full that is defined, given the different laws that apply.

So a case of looking for something that doesn't exist in a ways :)


This means either from your court date, or the date you paid the fine.

In Victoria (as per the OP) - the Demerit points apply as soon as the offence is committed, regardless of guilty or innocent (or you taking it to court) - they take effect immediately.

So if you go to court and WIN, only then do they get removed. That can take a year and in the mean time you can lose license based on points even though the matter isn't decided.

It's a very stupid and broken system and shows how disjointed it all is, but that's how it works down here.

guilty untill proven innocent, same as suspected defects given by unmechanically minded or trained police officers..... but thats another can of worms.

Its still pretty confusing, but i understand what you mean :) I only lost 3 demit points on my final few months on my Ps for something silly, and i was confused to whether i stay on 3 even on my fulls or bump up to 9 (or just reset to the full 12). As long as I dont have to live with 3 demrit points for the next 3 years ill be happy, gives me piece of mind :)

I hadn't noticed OP was Vic based, so my comments are clearly not correct, as they're based on my experience in NSW.

Apologies for the misleading info.

no its my fault! Didnt state i was from victoria.

      Pretty much what you'd expect at that power level. Hypergear turbo, long list of supporting mods, full Haltech catalogue, etc.  I'd say this goes for most drivers, suspension is still a dark art for most people. And it's really hard to convince someone how much better their setup could be...

      Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.

      What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
