when they pull u over and say "u were travelling at such such speed...", do they really have a proof or r they just estimating...? so if i go to a court, would they bring the proof with them and say "sorry.. u r fu(ked big time..." ?

and does it cost me any money to go to a court ? do i have to buy a lawyer? or can i go by myself?

thank you in advance... (plz take this seriously and give me some good advice coz i might have to sell my car :D )

didn't double the limit... what would they do with my camry even if they impound it though...:D

i think there was another cop in the car (i can't remember for some unknown reason...hehe)

ed, do they have a formal proof though? not just second person backing up? ;)

they must show you the radar readout if you request

then find out when calibrated etc (they will say like in last 2 days but i would double check that)

if no radar, go to court

say this guy keeps harrassing you (only if you know you werent in the wrong)

most of the times the coppers let you off with a warning if no radar readout

andrew : yes i got my licence back in november last year... :D

okay, this is what happened...

i got out of the go hill free way (city -> chatswood -> epping)

i was on pacific hwy near chatswood (3:30am, no cars arround), didn't look at my speedo... i see this car raming up to my arse sooooooooo fast with so much enthusiasm i knew it was cops straight away... as soon as i brake, they turn on the lights... we go into side street... a cop says i was travelling at 110 in 60 zone...

i am pretty fu(king sure that they didn't travell 400m to estimate my speed... i am not sure if it was an unmarked car or an actual police car with radar...

i will goto court just to see if anything better will happen...

i heard that if i go to the court and cops don't turn up, the case gets dismissed...? can anyone confirm this?

That is true... If they don't turn up, the judge dismisses the case and you're free to go. But they usually turn up from what I hear.

Also, I heard that if you elect to hear the matter in court, they have to do it within 9 months of the date of offence, otherwise it gets dropped also? Can anyone confirm this one?

If you weren't much over the limit and they did not follow you for long and have no gun reading, it sounds like they were just picking on a GT-R owner...

What right do they have to tailgate you?

T.

haha... :D

they were actually picking on a camry owner...

they still don't have the right to tailgate a camry though... :)

(i don't know if my camry is even capable of doing 110...)

IMO 110 in a 60 is very different from say 140 in 100 in freeway conditions.

theres traffic lights on that road, what if one turned red? do you have a chance of stopping in time?

Around 3:30 am a lot of newspapers deliveries and stuff are happening and these cars do stop frequently, this is what they will ask your defence in court.

I dont think you can get out of this, If it was something else like 80 in a 60 or 70 in a 60, then all the speedo calibration issues come into play, but 110 in a 60 is a lost cause IMHO.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
