Im sure im not alone in noticing that lately a lot of people on this site are in legal trouble because of incedents with the "boys in blue". Be it with suspensions, speeding etc, it is becoming a more and more regular occurance that drivers are having to go to court and not being fully prepared for the event whether it be for lack of information or not having the proper legal assistance.

I thought this would be a good opportunity for others to share their experience with the legal system and if at all possible point others in the direction of good legal services. The last thing people want is to pay for a lawyer to represent them in court and then for them to sit there and not do their job to the expectations you were promised.

I understand that some people deserve to go to court and get reamed by the system, but for those who genuinely do need help this could be an opportunity to share your experience...

Guys, this not a bleeding heart session for when you got done over by the police for whatever. If you were unfairly accused of something, and you resorted to legal action, please post your experiences as the thread starter says.

We do not tolerate calling police officers names, "omg uleh I got done over for my BOV" and other such sob stories. Harden up and show some maturity.

I work in law in Sydney and have a lot of contacts. I have helped a few forum and club members out in the past.

I am not a lawyer. I am a Barrister's Clerk so I basically hook the solicitors up with the barristers.

I am more likely to give you practical advice than definitive legal advice because that's what I know. Eg I might say 'it looks like you were in the right there but in these sorts of cases both parties usually lose due to the costs involved so you're best to forget it'.

The unfortunate thing is that we are living in an era of a new conservatism and the result is that the pollies think they know better than the cops and the judges so they are increasingly putting automatic penalties in place, thus overriding the judicial authority. Eg automatic licence suspensions for exceding a certain speed or losing all your demerit points. They exist for drink driving too.

People can pm me for help if they like. I can tell you it's scary how many incompetant lawyers there are out there. Also a recommendation from most people is worthless because they only know one or at best two lawyers. I know hundreds.

Been there done that. You're right about the law being made Automatic for the judges etc, that is where i got caught. Yes i did something wrong, however the penality considering the situation was LONG *sigh* But the minimum except for section 10. Not much middle ground or control for the judge considering.

I Reckon if u get nabed something if small or large it can snowball into something bigger. Either way seems like it's a gamble anyway. As for lawers, well the result can only get so good sometimes.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
