I got a speeding ticket and thinking that I may want to fight it in Court.

I don't believe that I was speeding at the time.

I have written a letter to the police and they can not help or drop the charges.

Have anyone went to court to settle a speeding fine?

if so, how much do you have to pay if you win? or if you loss how much is the court fee on top of the charges

I heard someone saying it will be $65 plus the charges if you loss.. true???

cheers guys and gals

About 2 years ago court costs were $67.50 for a speeding fine I took to court.

If your seriously going to do it, just get some HARD EVIDENCE that you weren't (good luck) Otherwise the magistrate will just agree with the cop.

Cops' word against yours, is what it will come down to.

Given that its a multanova not a laser, you have way less chance of getting out of it.

Lasers are humanly operated by cops, so there is always room for human error and also the fact that cops are 99% of the time only trained in the use of the laser equipment and not certified to calibrate it. Therefore if the cop was the person who calibrated the unit and they are not certified to do so... you would have a point to argue.

Multanovas are setup by radar operators (not cops) and are trained to set them up correctly. There are ways that the units can produce incorrect speed readings, such as:

1) if you were changing lanes at the exact time of the photo

2) if there is large cyclone type fencing or metal side railings, etc... anything that could interfere with a radio signal

Because they are setup by qualified people and are a "set and forget" device (aka no human operation) there is little room for error and your own arguments will not get you off without hard evidence like GPS tracking log or something.

You could try and contact Roy Reyer in QLD and see if you can obtain his services... he is often in court as a expert in the radar field... but he doesn't come cheap, and do you really want to pay for a QLD to Perth and return air fare???!!!

My suggestion would be to pay the fine, and buy a radar detector off me!!! :P

I got done by a hand-held doing 89 in a 70 zone when I was 100% sure I was doing under 65. I talked to the cop for a long time, begged and pleaded, he even said he'd write done the circumstances in the notes section of the fine so I could take it to court, but the simple thing is, there's no proof in my favour. He has a readout on his gun that says 89 and he beleived it was my car, there's nothing I could have done even though I know I'm in the right. These things happen and unfortunately you just have to move on and take it like a man. :P

So, unless you have some outstanding evidence that you were not speeding, then you don't ahve a chance and it wont be worth your trouble.

court fee is 110.8

Bankids. You sure? $110.80,

I assume that you had tried and found guilty.

Cheers guys for the respondes.

what I got told by cops is that all machine needed to be calibrated for it able to stand in court.

Innocent till proven guilt

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By tidi0x · Posted

      I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.

      Single Turbo Conversion Lines.

      By StevenJames32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
