Do you think that the QLD police force might drop the charges???

I see know why many dont contest the fines... 7k is allot of money...

there is a good chance

based on a few facts against the police right now

1 of those facts being that the car actually passed not being a defective car

so that fine is instantly dismissed as u actually need to take it to court for them to dismiss it from your records.

the 'not having a modification plate', we've only got 1 thing going in our favour for this fine which i wont say till we run it through the court. but lets say its a f**kup that the cop did with the fine.

on the other hand, these modifications dont require a modification plate at all based on the fact, qld transport classifies what i've done as 'accessories' and 'every day use of a car'.

"anyone should have the right to ask any question they wish to a cop without feelin the threat that they are about to be ass raped by them with fines, etc".

There are a few on here who are still wondering why you did that, this guy in particular as well, but if you knock him down a notch or two because of this we will all benefit but..... maybe you have learned the unwritten law of dealing with cops esp dickheaded ones "let sleeping dogs lye" they have a tendancy to bite.

the question being thrown everywhere at the time was "those who are under the age of 25 and already got a import, will they be effected by the law?" and since we couldnt find anything anywhere at the time, i thought i'd ask the cop.

its no wonder people are more so against police these days because of dickhead cops like this that deter us from having any form of a "friendly" type relationship with them.

so you're sure the conversation got recorded? wasn't he at the service station filling his car up or something?

i'll double check with my flatmate (the cop) when she gets back this arvo but i dont think they record all conversations, but i'm guessing maybe you already know he did?

police alwas record their conversations unless its not possible for them to reasonably do so. Reason being they had huge problems with confessions and evidence holding up in court, hence the court has stated in many precedent cases that police must when reasonable tape all conversations with an accused, otherwise face the consequences of a possible not guilty decision.

Recouping costs from a case like this will be near impossible. Unless there has been some kind of misconduct or the like from the officer. I would like to know what loophole your pursuing that will allow you to recover costs personally, are you going to sue him civily? Because whilst he is a police officer peforming police activities he is acting under the discretion of the QLD police force and any action would be their problem and their cost. The most you can usually do is refer a complaint to the CMC when they (if they think its a bad case) slap him on the wrist. PM me if you dont wish to discuss in an open forum, but im very interested in how your arguing this case.

I was under the same impression Matt.

Didn't you say you found a loop hole of sorts MrToy? One that allowed you to pursue the cop at a civil level?

can you tell us exactly what the fines are and what they say?

btw, hows it going getting that law changed....no offence but id say you'll have about as much luck as selling ice to eskimo's. Noone will take the defect power away from the police, its not a public problem to cause some discomfort to modified car owners. The police were allowed to create their own act with all the powers they currently have (ppra) do you really think that they're going to take this power away. There are a whole lot more powers in there than need changing and are more of a nuisance to the public. ie. the police dog rules. (its to long to explain). But yea, good luck. Keen to see the outcome.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
