Been looking at the forums for a while now but dont post often. However i had to reply to this.

I was done doing 116 overtaking on princess hwy too! At the time i was overtaking a semi trailer in the rain, pulled in front, then cop parked in bushes ahead of me turned his lights on, i ended up just paying the fine and copping it on the chin but i do feel i was done unfairly. Cant afford to go up in court though as i dont know how much chance i would of had and cant afford to lose more money over it! Also should be noted was driving a camry at the time so not exactly a speed machine!

The cops on the princess hwy are out to make money! many of my mates have been done in similar cirumstances, most unfairly, and all on the stretch from geelong to warrnambool. So beware!

anyways - looks like Im screwed!!

How long does it take to get your points back on your licence???

If you have NSW licence and the offence took place in Victoria, no points will be record against your NSW licence. All you have to do is pay the fine. However VicRoads will keep these points on file for 3 years in the chance you might move to Victoria and change your licence over. You will have 3 points waiting if you move to Vic in the next 3 years ;)

Are you sure about that? The infringement notice read I have lost 3 points - how can I find out how many points I have left on my licence??

I drove from Darwin through SA, into NSW, to the ACT upt to QLD without a fine (yes I was speeding sometimes), got done twice in QLD (nazi coppers) First one was for 112 in a 100 zone just after overtaking. The second one was a bit different, here goes.

I rounded a corner that led upto a steep crest, just after rounding the corner I saw 4 (yes 4) cyclists riding abreast. I had to speed up to get around them before the crest - I had no chance of stopping. So I booted it, got past them just before no go zone of the crest and started slowing down, over the crest - coppers. Got done for 123 in a 100 zone. Told them the story - no excuses - done. Gr33ddy - get ready for a pineapple because thats whats headed your way.

crack smoking friend told me it was an offense to speed up if someone was overtaking you btw.

personally i dont understand the rules on overtaking. only ever do it if someone is well below the speed limit, or driving crazy like. eg, drunk or dumass looking for sidestreet, house number.

the moron I overtook was definitely being a dumbass - swerving over the road and s**t - he was probably pi$$ed!!

Thought Id be safer in front of him.

The moron was probably laughin his head off when he drove past me as I was getting booked!!

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Cheers Lith! You're right, it's entirely possible that there's other reasons for the low compression. It's off to the shop soon, skipping borescoping etc and just getting it out and apart, we'll see what it looks like then.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.

      A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.
