hey guys just wondering your opinions on this one, apparently i can be booked by an off duty cop in a mcdonalds carpark for parking in a handicap spot, there was no other spots left, this was at waitara mcdonalds and the cop was blacktown highway patrol, he took photo's on his phone of my car and where it was parked, he was also abit tipsy in my mind however this prob wont matter if it goes to court or w/e, just wondering if he is in his rights to book me, he said ill get in the mail. p.s anyone on here do an old pac run last night (friday) in a dark r32gtr?

Opionion? I'd say the ticket is kosher. He's a cop. He got pictures of you doing something naughty. You're busted. Shit happens.

agree

and even if there wasnt any spots, you still dont park in the disbled bay, you park on the street and walk.

i drove a car to a servo to buy p plates, i never expected to be driving, i wouldnt let the ppl that where drunk in the car drive, so i said ill drive, 200m after leaving the house, i got *random breath tested*. i do not drink, i pointed out that there was no p plates on the car even before the officer asked for my license and that i was going to get the plates now.. so i contested that fine and now its going to court... they pull you over, see your on your p's and driving a skyline and they dont give a f**k, hence my mutual <3 for highway patrol syd police.

yeah i mean i realy did think i was doing the right thing by not letting em drive, i guess i shouldve let them drive then die on the way atleast then the police would have a reason to do work and not just see the dollar signs that p platers in syd create, i mean seriously should change the P plates to red and green $ signs. cause im sure thats what they see. either way i was not impressed, p.s i was in a fiesta new model not even in a hoted up car. lol

There's a reporting system in place for unlawful use of disabled parking, anyone can use it police/private citizen..drunk/sober, if he took your details you may recieve a fine but odds are when he realises that if you contest it he'll have to go to court also. I'd say like the majority of peeps he'll file it under cbf'd.

When the coppers say 'you'll get it in the mail' it's just a scare tactic. He was prolly laughing at you when you left.

HOT TIP: Leave your rear P plate on the parcel shelf like it fell down, when a copper's like wheres your P plate just look back and go 'ummmm it must of fell sorry I didnt realise'. I used to do it on my P's always worked and saved my being pulled over everyday.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
