Clarkey:(

Thats just farkin WRONG!!! 64in 60?!?!?!?!!! How the fark are we expected to drive???

Tyre manufacturers say that worn tyres will produce a 3km/h difference (on the speedo) than new ones. I doubt wether anybodys speedo is accurate within 3km/h anyway.

Money hungry kunts!!! The frustration is starting to 5hit me!!!!!! (by the way I got a fine last week to!)

There is actually a law that is still in effect that you are allowed 10% of the suggested speed either way.

So if you were in a 60 zone, LEGALLY you can do 66. However the RTA has said fines will only allow a 3k/h difference. I think if you take it to court, you could win.

The law used to be 10% of 60 then +3kmh. They abolished the 10% of 60 and have left the 3kmh.

Vicroads dont actually have anything to do with the issuing or payment of fines, thats handled by Civic Complience. Details of the law should prolly be taken up with them 9611 7611.

A mate got done for 62km/h in a 60 zone about a month back.

Ironically he just had new tyres installed, I'm curious as to what it did to the rolling circumference and speedo. Same deal, $125.

But its good to see he isn't doing 2km/h over the limit anymore, he could have killed hundreds of people!:)

Was it a camera fine or was he pulled over???? 2k over just doesnt seem like enough. Cameras are now set to go off at 4km over the limit, and coppers wont usually give chase unless its worth the paper work (ie about 20km over). Sure it wasnt 62 in a 50??

Pulled over after a hard takeoff from the lights. Cop was about 200m down the road with the laser.

edit - kept him there for about 30 mins while he started writing out defects for different engine and various other things, then he pulled an engineers certificate out for everything and the cop got really pissed off and booked him for doing 2km/h over the limit.

I only have 3 points left.... no speeding for me for a while... i only get 3 pointers :) Make 2 mistakes and you can't speed for 3 years, screwy!

I still find it hard to believe speed really kills, 1/3 of accidents are caused by people without even seatbelts for f*cks sake!... the other 1/3 or more are f*cking pissed... and the majority of pedestrians killed are pissed as well... we should'nt be held accountable for avoiding idiots walking across the road!

And every car on the road handles the same, every driver looks the same distance ahead on the road. Nope, its all stupid math to support making more money.

Personally I'd rather have more freedom and take the risk that I kill myself in my car. Its my choice to take the risk and wipe myself out, as long as i don't have others in the car.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
