Damn Chris :)

I have not been in this situation, so i can't give you any advise.

Good Luck with what ever decision you choose. I know Ash knows a good traffic solicitor, maybe have a word to him to discuss your options.

thanks Al...

yeah there is one guy who is a guru....I'm onto him already.

I might just delay with letters for 6 months...just cos I can

I'm over it now..time for more F&F DVDs

thanks for letting me rant a bit makes me feel better...

its not a crime if nobody's getting hurt :)

Someone who should by all rights be unlicensed or on a 0 point probation for the next year, continues to carry a license with no probation because someone else took the points....I LOVE double standards ! :)

my uncle keeps asking family members for points, all up his probably lost 30+ points but hasn't lost his licsense because of different family members taking the blame each time instead of him lol

its not a crime if nobody's getting hurt :nyaanyaa:
It's a crime if it's against the law. And perjury is against the law.

But typical of society today - noone prepared to take responsibility for their own actions.

Chris, if you elect to fight this in court, and drag the time out then you may recover enough points to hold onto your license when you eventually decide to pay the fine and a little bit extra for the privelege. They cannot remove the points until you have been found guilty or choose to pay the fine. If you state you are not guilty then they have to prove it, not just arbitrarily take the points until you prove you are not guilty. If they have then the Vic govt is taking a substantial chop at your rights, but then you are a motorist - the worst type of mass murderer ever......

Sorry to hijack, a question for GTRGeoff.....

If in a far away land, a motorist were to be caught by a fixed camera on the reverse side of a bridge doing 7km's over the limit, how can this speed be acurately measured as this motorist tells me there are no lines on the road indicating distance measured etc nor which lane the camera was focused on as there were 4 (potentially any of the space craft travelling in any lane could have commited said offence).

Any thoughts?

Al, there is a fairly detailed answer required there, but it depends on the technology used. In the case of radar we have seen parked vehicles and slow coucil buses on a huge uphill climb being booked for outrageous speeds. There is just no reasonable argument for a citation from a cameras within 10kmh of the speed limit and it should be left to the human element (Police Officer) to determine whether the speed travelled is considered dangerous, else it is just revenue raising. Feel free to email me or give me a call if you want to have a thorough answer.

if its in Aus. then nearly all "certified" fix speed cameras use a pezo/pezo/pezo or pez/loop/pezo setup.

I did test some trial untis a few years back with radar but they always sucked.

yep thats the plan Geoff.

Essentially my understanding is that the TIN is cancelled once you "object" and obt to take it to court. Therefore I'm hoping that when i do this I new date will be used...

we will see... gonna see anyway

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
