Hey guys,

Was late for an appointment today and was speeding a bit near home (with an IS300 on my tail). Saw a cop car facing me and hit the brakes. He turned around and pulled us both over. Got me at 72 in a 50 zone. I told him I have a clean record and he said once it's logged he can't cancel it so I should write to them and they might consider it as I'm 21 and have had no offences whatsoever. The cop was okay about it but said unfortunately he couldn't do anything about it there. I acknowledge my mistake and understand that it's my own fault but hope to appeal with my clean record.

What do you guys suggest I do? (or use in my argument). 3 points and $197 for a silly mistake is not good in anybody's language :D

Anyway, just thought I'd get your opinions. Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.

Cheers

Yeah he probably didn't want to bother. He suggested I write in though (maybe to sound like he was trying to help). The infringements people said I can try my luck and write in using my clean record to gain a 'caution' so I'll see if I can come up with a letter and some kinda excuse.

Hehe yeah the 10th one would be a little more distressing, but you know how it is, it's disappointing losing your clean record to a silly mistake.

I have tried writing in but it did me no good. If you acknowlege you were in the wrong then you have nothing to write in about... I suppose I have this attitude because I have 12 points back now and am loving it.

I know EXACTLY how you feel in regards to this ticket, but it is the only way we all learn!

I agree with everyone in that there's always a first offence and tojust cop it on the chin, after all it was my fault. You do have a point there in that I haven't been driving for that long anyhow.

Btw, I normally do leave early but I guess there's always a first hey? So anyway, it's all over with now so I'll accept it as it is.

Thanks for all the comments.

Yeah I bought it just after finishing uni (a few months ago), I bought it used and on a loan with a residual so doesn't work out to be that expensive. Would've cost me a similar amount for an R33 GTST since the bank wouldn't give me a residual on one of those as it's imported.

Mick.

exactly.

he's probably saying that so he doesn't look like a pri*k or something.

they are trying to pin me and he didn't even HAVE a radar thingy. :D

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
