they're still trying to get anyone for anything.

I still don't get how its illegal after all it states that only if its permanently locked it is dangerous...

As your one isn't i would just contest that in court, backed up with a few letters maybe not just one.

I got something rather amusing in the mail today

"Notice to person permitted to go at large without bail"

It goes on to say the offence is "modification of vehicle parts or equipment affecting saftey. Act/legislation: Transport operations (RUM - VEH Stand.) Reg 1999 Section 6(1)(B).

So I went and looked that up at http://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/LEGISLTN...tOpRUVSSR99.pdf

It says, "(1) A motor vehicle, other than an articulated bus, must have

only—(a) 1 axle group, or single axle, towards the front of the

vehicle; and

(b) 1 axle group, or single axle, towards the rear of the

vehicle.

LOL... Im sorry but what about my diff? I've looked through the rest of the act and it mentions nothing about diffs. amusing.

Unfortunately....I think this is the section you might actually be looking for in there...

6 Modifying vehicle

(1) A person must not—

(a) modify a vehicle chassis; or

(b) modify a vehicle, its parts or equipment in a way that

adversely affects the safety of the vehicle.

Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

Expect the copper who booked you to come in saying you said this or that when you didn't thats all i have to add to this.

Yeah, I do expect that to happen. I have a witness to the whole conversation though so I'm not too worried about that.

Hm... I don't think family can be a witness but hey, I aint a lawyer

Don't know why they couldn't be. I think family can choose not to provide evidence against you as a witness? But then they get into a bit of shit as well.

whens your court date??

4th of November, 9:30am. Bad enough taking me to court but making me wake up early on a day off work!!!! bastards!

Yeah I've got a lawyer. It would be retarded to attempt to go to court by myself for this.

When I come to power thou shalt be avenged!!!!!

:)

Seriously mate good luck. I hate to see good people pay whilst scumbags sit and grow fatter off our tax dollars........... The unfortunate fact is that busting "hoons" makes headlines due to stupid dunnydore drivers and we fill in the numbers game that win votes come election time... Cleaning up the streets of people like you is obviously a higher priority than getting rid of the badguys who sell drugs to kids :blink:

Correct me if I'm wrong people.

I agree. If you were drifting through a school zone at 3:00pm then I would be the first to hold you while they bend you over lol :laughing-smiley-014: but just driving into a carpark and getting picked for this is garbage :) .

Best of luck TOMMAH and keep us posted as we all love it when someone is trying to beat the system :D .

you are one of many unlucky ppl who are targeted by the police

their agenda is to get you once for the following reasons

wake up call to scare you or make life difficult

be on their books so any future infringments can be escalated

raise revenue

justify their existance

when you go to court bring all the information you can about your case....

back it up with receipts and mechanic statments...

state that it was preventative maintenance to enhance saftey and NOT contrary to the law

have a plan of attack against the charges worked out by you and your lawyer.

hope this helps

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
