Here's a good one for you all:

If a cop writes out a expiation notice for a offence committed by a person sitting in the back seat (passenger) yet writes on the expiation notice that he was the driver AND passenger... and then gets another warning in the mail saying he's now even the owner of the vehicle in question (yet he's the passenger of a mates car)... what can you do?

Also have to note, that the evidence against the passenger (basically the notes that the cop took down) is literally unreadable scribble. You can make out 2 words in the 8 lines he's written. Nothing else is readable. Even lawyers deem the notes/evidence unreadable.

Is it worth taking to court? Will they just correct it or is it classified as a major error?

I had thought that the driver is fined for the passenger not wearing the seat belt ... is that what is actually in question here? How can the passenger be fined? Its the driver's ultimate responsibility therefore he/she will be the one fined. Would you hand out a fine to a 10yo kid in the back seat?

Correct me if I'm wrong. :ermm:

Spotted "aaah31" in the City about 2pm today. :ermm: I was the biker cutting thru traffic ;)
i thought he basically told all of us to f**k off and that hes going back to perth?
Thats right!

Well, he's still in Adelaide :rolleyes:

lol, I must have missed that whole episode......did something happen during the week I was away?

don't quote me on this but I think if the passenger is over 18 they are at least responsible and possibly the driver as well

However if the passenger is under 18, the driver is responsible.

Correct me if I'm wrong :ermm:

Hey guys, yes, this is another one of those "should I buy this" posts from me... I'm sorry but I'm very pedantic when it comes to big purchases like a car.

The car I'm looking at at the moment is here: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=11EECA35A9B0

I have checked the oil and coolant, all fine. The guy has reciepts for the services, including the major 100,000km one, done at 94,000ks. Services have been done every 5000ks after that (with reciepts). All that was done at Sinergy.

The speedometer is a bit dodgy, it keeps flicking on and off, but he said that could be easily fixed. The bumper also has a few minor scratches on it, because it is quite low. Other than that, it's pretty clean.

If I do decide to get it, I will take it to a mechanic (Martin Donnon) to give it an inspection

Any comments? Price offer suggestions are also welcome, I'm aiming for $16.5k.

Cheers for your continued help :)

Yep, got defected for my wheels 'hanging out of the guards' but still being in track and legal diameter. That's all he done me for, not to low or loud or ANYTHING other than that. I see that as revenue raising at its finest.

I'll be calling Regency tomorrow morning and explaining the lot to them. The officer even complimented me on how stock my car was! But I still got regency

Whats my chances?

It's 16, Pete!

If you're even 16 and on your L's and get caught in a backseat with no seat belt, you lose 3 points! Regardless what license you have.

Spot on mate

I got done, passed out drunk in the back of my mates company van, sleeping amongst all the tools. Mate got pulled over, I got woken up by a police officer and booked for no seatbelt. Blah!

Martin is not a mechanic, he is a tuner.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
