Also look into insurance... its something like 30%(24.something) of accidents are simple rear ender - no brains - not paying attention accidents.

Safest option of course in future is be mindfull of running yellows =P

Just pay the fine, trust me..no magistrate is going to dismiss police testimony to accomodate you regardless.

There's the way things should be..and the way things are.

A reality lesson that can be hard to learn..

Lodge a written objection with the superintendant of traffic in your area, if you feel you have a case..then pay the fine.

Unsure about this......a mate took a hooning charge to Court and won. Officer could not prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was in fact "hooning". His defense was basically that the road was wet (hence wheelspin) and he did not see the car next to him that was trying to race him.

A bit related to this topic, I was on Mains road yesterday, saw a cop a couple of lanes over a few cars distance at least behind, so as usual take it easy and don't do anything that will get attenion.

On approach to the intersection a couple of car lengths away from the line, the light turns yellow. I kept going, but without obviously accellarating through.

Now the police car that was a few lanes over and few cars behind, also makes it through the intersection, must have barely nipped through before red, if not on red from what I could see/tell in my rear view. Later on he also changes lanes without indicating.

A bit of one-sidedness? I think it's ridiculous how some people get targetted 99% of the time for being safe than sorry on a yellow light when I see those sort of things.

Think about these points and what others have said, the only fines I have ever recieved are parking fines and my last speeding ticket was for 70 in a 60 zone when both myself and the officers knew I was doing over 100 but as they had no gun and no clear sight of me they could not enforce what speed they knew I was doing!

how did you end up with a ticket if there was no speed gun on you? I hope you didnt admit it to them?

They got me on my wording of my response.

I said, "I couldn't possibly have been doing more than 65 if you count in error of speedo." BAM ticket for <10 over limit.

Better than losing my license though, I happily paid the $75 it was back in the day. :blink:

      Hey guys! Thanks for the feedback!    it’s got some basic mods currently but it’s been tastefully done  has a z32 Maf and a HKS Mushroom filter an old logo nismo strut brace, splitfire coil packs, braided turbo lines, turbo smart boost controller, walbro 450 fuel pump, sports cat and a reinik cat back exhaust, shock works coilovers, Greddy turbo timer, blitz FMIC, blitz BOV, hard race hicas delete, ebc brakes (front), excedy heavy duty clutch, Michelin pilot sport 4 tyres, and the 33 GTR wheels from memory. i have also had my mate 3D print a gas cap holder for inside the petrol flap haha but she’s very clean underneath (being a paint sprayer of 15 years I did not want to mess around with rust!) and she’s had thousands spent on maintenance over the last few years, she drives like a new car!  my future plans is to do an RB30 rebuild with a 25 head uprated turbo etc etc I’m hoping to start this next year, I’ve just opened a premises for my business so that takes priority at the moment! But overall I’m extremely happy with it!

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      I'm just being rude. The VQ was developed by Nissan Japan, but it comes from the time when Renault were....ruining what Nissan had been before. Just look at a Nissan Tiida, and tell me that you're not looking at a Renault. In fact, just look at a V series Skyline or Z33 etc and tell me that you're not looking at something Frenchified. I just see the VQ an emblematic of that. It is also a nasty sounding thing. I'm really glad I chose to stay RB and not put a VQ30 in when I did my car. As to the RB30 being Aussie.....arguably it's a bit Aussie.

      That depends, if the French got it from the Japanese, its Japanese. Or, is the rb30 aussie? Also, wouldn't it be Vq for a junior variant?

      As soon as the MAFs are replaced with ones that work properly, if the harness isn't ruined it should run perfectly immediately.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By luke gtr · Posted

      If you haven't already decided on a career, look at being a mechanic, engine reconditioning or mechanical engineering. All 3 will give you different views and levels of knowledge (eg, mechanic is general for the whole vehicle, reconditioning will teach you engine specifics, engineer can design stuff). Or.......find something you love doing, hope its a well paying area and pay someone else to build the car for you. After 20 years of mechanicing, I've lost the passion for working on my own car. It may be different if I had access to a hoist, but it is what it is.
