ok i went 2 cop stn this arvo. they said i cant write a letter of everything that happened and put a copy of the fine with it. send it to this place, they'll review it, put it on hold and see where it goes from there. if they see i wasnt in the wrong im all good if not i can go 2 court. when i told him i had only just been over speed bump and not even 20m later i get pulled over for doin 72km in 50 zone he looked surprised. then when i said that the cop was tailgatin me he said oh definatly put this letter in. so fingers crossed

basically say you were trying to evade a tailgater and get out of their way or out of fear. I've been advised of ppl being followed for the purpose of stealing their car so it's not such a far fetched idea that this happens.

They ask you about the previous few years when first getting the policy but not after that, nothing mentioned in the policy handbook anyway.

Pretty sure they say that YOU have to make them aware of any further infringements, the onus is on YOU to make sure THEY are aware of your driving record. Maybe it only applies for serious offences.

as u suggested its usually only meant for accidents that were ur fault or loss of licence etc etc.

not for getting dermit points... for example going 12kmh over the limit and getting 1 dermit point.

TBH I don't really care, but I think before any of you take anything for granted, you should call your insurance company and find out.

I was only stating what *I* was told in an effort to stop anyone getting taken for a ride by an insurance company trying to weasel out of a claim.

generally when they try to weasel out of a claim of say 4-6k just keep bugging them about it and say youll take it to court. Generally it's cheaper for the insurance company just to pay you out, I know this firsthand and if you'd like anything answered by someone who works in the industry you can pm me. (I don't work in the industry, someone close to me does and isnt just a ground level chump either)

you can say you had to spped up to avoid having an accident, this does work in some cases ie passing a red light because person behind you was sticking wright to your bumper. all you have to do is explain the cop was travelling dangerously close to your car (not slowing down for speed bumps) so you tryed to avoid the dangours driver as he was to close for you to attempt to pull over and let him pass. the wost that can happen is you still get your fine but if the cop does this several times evetually court will have to let people off.

one of the best things we could do as a motor enthusiast group is to keep a forum open to names and action of dangour cop driving and thing they do to unlawfuly to take are point eventully if someone name comes up a few times it can be used as evidence and i know this has been done to cops who pick on groups of people.

p.s what a f**kign wanker

I somewhat doubt that "I had to SPEED up to AVOID an accident" would hold up in court very well, but I very well could be wrong never been a situation like this.

Anyway how did this situtation go, get a court summon yet and what not?

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
