I dont know what the penalties in NSW are mate for this kinda thing.

Mine was in conjunction with other stuff though (careless, reckless etc etc). I beat some charges, but not all of them ... ended up being a 6 months walking for me.

This was going back... 4 years, maybe 5 now. So laws have changed i would imagine, although they might not.

You'll have to talk to a professional either way :)

All i can tell you is that if you dont have a credible witness, your stuffed. Regardless of what actually happened... the Officers word will hold more weight than yours regardless of his "bending" of the story, as i've had happen 2-3 times now. Lucky i had witnesses the other times, silly officers :(

Ok, well, according to him, i was exceeding the speed limit by 45kph, so i was charged with that. on top of that, he chardged me with driving in a manor dangerous, and he worded in as follows:

"you are also being charged for driving in a manor dangerous as it is raing (which it wasn't) and that the road was a poor surface"

Any help?

Well basically, your lucky your not being charged with careless/reckless aswell.

Thats the thing, if you are 45 over, even 30 or 20... they can slap on extra charges if they want/see fit depending on the circumstances of the case.

Either way, sounds like you werent being a little angel.

You really need to talk to a lawyer, could cost you upto $600-800 all up maybe.

Either that or dont spend the money, as the fine will be rather hefty too possibly. If its your first offence it wont be too severe, maybe around $500.

But then its all speculation... you really need to talk to someone about it

i got done for negligent driving around 5 years ago, ive got no idea if its the same thing. i only lost 3 points. im not sure if theyve added a suspension to it now. check the rta website and see what the penalty is.

arnt these on the spot fines? at 45km'h over the limit its instant loss of licence... whats a couple more points ontop for dangerous driving?

Seriously, talk to a lawyer WHO DEALS IN TRAFFIC OFFENCES and get some advice. Dont just go and see any money hungry suit for advice because some of them are much better than others

Always thought a "manor" was a grand estate with a magnificient house, servants etc.

Did he really spell the word "manner" incorrectly? Time for a sharp lawyer.

I think in vic its now 12months walking and a possiable conviction (unless you show remorse :P) + $700 ish in fines

Either way as people have said, his word counts in that situation even if you weren not in a "manner dangerous" get some nice runners :) and a good legal rep.

recently some stupid chick copper pulled me over as I am about to pull onto highway as I was leisurely stopping up at the lights, (to turn left onto said highway). I had seen them with lights like in the distance behind me as I was simply doing 80 in a new 70 zone outside my workplace just prior (twin lanes separated by 3 meter's of raised island with tree in it essentially the same speed as everyone else around me at the same pace i thought to myself they must be on a call to get somewhere so i get myself into the left lane as everyone else around me also does, no problem. the light goes green just as they are getting to us so naturally none of us move waiting, they literally pull up behind me with lights going etc but no siren so I think it was wierd an cars infront move of so I do to just after the corner they buz me... im like wtf? the misses an I are in the car she's in her pj's an i chucked on some rough jeans an a t to go pick up dinner from chilli's. *yea yea big night out* meh anyway so this bird copper walks up to the door and first thing out of her mouth is SO... you dont like your licence much... i was kind of shocked and asked... excuse me... .what are you talking about madam ? literally madam... polite etc... she goes we clocked you @ over 100kph etc bla bla back there only just cought you, didnt even know you were a p plater so you cant complain we are picking on you for being a p plater etc (im 24 and green p's, sue me). I litteraly said, no, sorry your wrong, I would like to see your speed camera reading etc, she breaks in we were following you and you just disapeared in front of us. I said hold on, someone ran from you ? she said yes you *pointing at me* just hammered it turning right onto the round about, I said first of all you werent following me this is the first time i saw you and second I turned left on the round about after delivering movies to blockbuster back at the shops. I was most certainly not doing anything like that, I was following traffic and not going faster than the cars infront of me, at no time did we exceed 80 kph and she said, you realise it's a 70 zone. I said yes ok, thinking i was a dumb shit. then she goes back to her car with my licence comes back and starts ranting at me that with all her years as a copper im not pulling this over her and that she was no junior constable bla bla bla. I said no I wont accept that. she said I was lucky she didnt have a book of some sort so she couldnt write out the fine but to expect one in the mail, I asked what for? she said im giving you a 15 and over bla bla I said I will not accept that and she said expect it in the mail good bye... walked back to her car leaving me staring at her back... low and behold I recieved the damm 15 and over fine and even though I am going to fight it I expect to thoroughly loose and have to pay $234. as opposed to the less than 15kph fine which is $50, points wont affect me as I've got full points but that is entirely besides the bloody point.

IM FUgNG PISSED OFF f**kNG kent copa

I always respected coppers before, but I just have none for any traffic patrol f**kwit. Im going to abuse the shit out of any one i can from now on.

yes I realise thats not a good idea and a particularly childish one. one i wont be doing IN my car but anywhere outside driving is fair game.

I mean she didnt even know who she was chaseing prolly called it over the radio an had to find someone or maybe there was another phantom white line somewhere i dunno either way im getting screwed for some BS!

Geeeez.... talk about being pointed out (literally)

I've never had that happen, but i could definetely admit that if that happened to myself and i had someone in the car with me then I'll ask for proof of speed, if they argue or rant on i'll ask for badge number, take down police car number etc etc. If you knew a lawyer i reckon that'd make an interesting case.

But i have to say at current i haven't had any trouble with cops... besides once about 'Undue Smoke and Noise' which was caused when i hit the breaks and they locked up (r32 gts-t...).

But talking about copping the wrong end of the stick..... :(

Edited by DC_GTST

It sucks like most of the laws....but..they all(Authorities) want to make $$$$$$..the more charges the more mulla.

I see lots of people driving this way everyday...and they are doing the speed limit... >_<

Some people drive this way all the time...they have no idea what is going on around them...luckily

we look for them and stay clear.

It is when two of these people come together on the same street they have an accident.

Why don't the authorities take some action when they see an old man/women or dum driver doing 25 in a 60 Zone...thats dangerous.

And what about the people who brake first(hard) then indicate.

Sorry dude.......your in for some fines...court apperances and more fines,not to mention your legal(lawyer) costs.

This is so they can advertise more to say we are cutting the road toal.

Has any one ever been charged with this??

yeah, road block and all [thought I'd driven into WWIII], but it was so long ago I don't reckon it will count. it was night time and the lights were pretty!!!

PS Never got done for speeding, it was a D's car and they had no radar and by the time I got to the road block I had slowed down. Also D's get crappy cars, he couldn't catch me...........lol I left him for dead, but you can't beat radio waves.

Guessing you are the one who got done street racing?

Look up the rta website and see where you stand. Better yet, you might need a lawer.

With all these new laws and tough rules, it might be hard to get out of it..

gdluck tho..

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
