I received a slip from the postman today saying I've got a Registered Post article awaiting my collection.. I can't really imagine what it could be.. I haven't bought anything online that is not accounted for..

My sister's boyfriend said that's how they send out speeding fines.. is this true? I don't think I've been hit by any speed or red light cameras, I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if I did..?

Should I be concerned? Anyone else received a random registered post article? lol..

it could be any number of things- concert tickets, confidential personal information you've requested from a goverment agency, etc, etc....

Definitely haven't bought any tickets.. The only competition I think I've entered was on Saturday lol, doubt they would have picked a winner by now.

I wasn't sure about the speeding ticket stuff coming via registered post, last time I got a red light camera ticket (years ago) it came by normal post. Also when I got done for driving with undue care and attention the summons came via regular post.. I think?

I guess I just have to try not to stress tonight and find out tomorrow morning. Been mulling things over and I can't imagine when I would have got done speeding.. if I have been it would only be a couple of klms over the limit.. I think I've only gone through one very late orange light - so doubt it's a red light camera..

The only other thing I can think of was a slight road rage type incident, if you could call it that, where I overtook a guy going about 30klms under the speed limit on a scooter when he moved over onto the shoulder. He didn't like how I overtook (was in my WRX).. I genuinely thought he was moving over to let me pass - guess not? Strange old man.. strange and slow.. Normally thought that sort of stuff would be followed up by a police phone call or visit, not that anything really happened.. so I don't think it's that.

Sigh, ok.. I'll try to stop stressing now and post an update tomorrow.

EDIT - Does jury duty come via registered post? Maybe it's that..

i thought u didnt get in trouble if you have NEVER registerd to vote :)

Yeap, mate got a $180 fine last year...

All you gotta do it register and then turn up on election day, once your name is crossed off it does not matter what you do from there... :)

I go for the free labour or liberal sausage sizzle... (I vote on who gives me free food)

well, the last two tickets I got were registered post...this was probably a year and a half ago but...

Cops---> >_< <---- Jon

Double checked, Nays last ticket came via regular mail...

Ive never got one :D

(Not joking either)

I got a sinking feeling that it's going to be a summons. I apparently reversed into a motorbike in like August last year and it got knocked over and scratched a car door (not in the skyline, VS commodore). I didn't even know I did it until I got a phone call from the police the following night. It was at night time in a dark car park.. the motor bike must have been black, must have only just knocked it and had it roll forward and fall on to their door.

Cost me $900 to get fixed up, they coulda bought a better car for that much lol. Cops came and questioned me about it in like March this year (around six months after the incident and some 9 months ago now). After interviewing me and I had a chance to explain the circumstances (tinted windows, stereo on - reasonable level, windows up, dark car park, tow bar musta nudged the bikes wheel) they said they'll either scrap the matter, issue me a ticket for reversing when unsafe (like $20) or a ticket for driving without due care (court appearance). They said they'd let me know regardless, but I haven't heard anything from them since.

I hope I'm wrong, would be a sh!tty thing to have to go to court for, thought this matter resolved many moons ago. Time will tell.

relax mate its just mail.. sounds like someone suffers from anxiety !

it could be absolutely anything really, just relax. hell, it could be a prize or a present from a family member or something?

Yeah, I think I do have anxiety.. with my run of luck lately though it's hard to not think the worst immediately. All will be revealed tomorrow.

Just picked it up...

Security recall from Subaru. I used to own an 03 WRX up until a few months ago. "Engine Hesitation and/or Shut Down caused by Vehicle Security System - Model Years 2002 to 2005 Impreza WRX and WRX STI".

What a relief... Now to book into the doctors to get some medication for my paranoia lol.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
