Hi all

Just thought id post up for thoes of you whom are aware of what was going on with me or anyone wishing to know, I have concluded my activities in the brisbane magistrates courts today with the return to me of my lisence, the overturning of my suspension and the full restoration of all my points.

In total I was suspended from driving for aproximatly 14 hours.

The charge was failure to give way when entering the road from a road related area, 3 points, $105

The suspension was for accumulation of demerit points while driving on a good behaviour bond.

Other fee's included $170 in legal advice which was 100% useless, they told me I couldnt, wouldnt, win, unless I hired them. Damn lawyers, the judge told me in court today that he hopes I have fired them.

Thanks

Ian

Ahhh nah some lawers i swear they get their 100 bucks and they tell you thier "legal advice" and when you toddle off to the court thier laughing in thier wads of cash that they got money from telling you completely stupid legal advice.

I dunno if i were in the same situation that ian was id do the same, i might go for legal advice, but in the end the best thing to do is go with your gut feeling then you wont regret it as much.

Congrats.

Watch for them now... once they black list your plates you'll forever get bothered by them.

Luckily I haven't been black listed, sure I've had tickets, some I didn't agree with but I paid the fine and took it for the sake of avoiding courts until I really need it.

Good luck, and maybe you should look into another set of plates, just goto the transport department and get replacements, will help the whole spot you on sight, unless they do a plate check :)

I was in the extact situation last year accumulation of demerit points while driving on a good behaviour period, i hired a lawyer cost me $990 they did my affidavit etc represented me in court, the judge read through my affidavit typed up by my lawyer showing hardship caused if i lost my license.I had a lady judge she basically looks at my driving history and said it wasnt to bad, but the affidavit didnt have good enough reasons showing hardship but my lawyer explained more in detail that i needed my license back etc etc, at the end i ended up getting it back restarting my good behavior period. I think i was lucky 2 people who went before me in the court room both had lawyers with them didnt get theres back, but one of them has being in there for the second time so that was probabaly why he didnt get it back. So at the end of the day it was worth the money hiring a decent lawyer if you got the money.

So at the end of the day it was worth the money hiring a decent lawyer if you got the money.

It came down to a few things, I had a string of good luck, the guys before me had 5 and 6 page traffic histories, I had half a page and they were well spaced out, I had done advanced driver training with a recognized school and the offence wasnt for speeding or hooning - additionally I rocked up early, I was dressed properly, neatly and profesionally, whereas alot of the younger blokes there were not (man you should of seen what they were wearing)

I typed up a pretty profesional affidavit myself as well, and I had photos of the location of the offence and was able to sucessfully argue against the lawyer(Im not sure if he really was a lawyer) representing QLD Transport with these. There were a few other things I argued but id prefer to keep some details private.

My car will not be blacklisted, This happened around 8 months ago and was in my last car.

MFC05, I will speak to you more about it on MSN as per your PM dude.

I once hired I legal guy, then fired his useless butt in front of the judge,

walked out with a very small fine. I then got a 'court appearence bill' from the fired legal help.

I wrote back and said, 'I'm an old fashioned guy, i beleive, a hard days work gets a hard days pay.'

I sent him $20. he never wrote back!

Stand your ground. Its your life, show some pride..

stick it to em!

      I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
