Hey everyone today I recieved a fine for not displaying a safety cretificate on my car when I had a "For Sale" sticker on the back window.

The fine was for $500 can you believe that. I feel as though I was picked on because I was a skyline owner. I told them that I didn't know I had to have one just to advertise that my car was sale and I was told "everyone knows that". They also had a look under the bonnet (don't know why, because they had no idea what they were looking at) and was asked where my intercooler was :) . I just told them it was standard. anyway what I am asking is, Has anyone else had this fine before and gotten out of it through writing a letter to QLD transport? And what they wrote? Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks.

edit: I will use the for sale section to sell my car tho... yes, yes i will...

hey mate

sucks to be you hey

i put a for sale sticker on my car but dad told me that i better go get a safety certificate before hand coz yea the cops can fine you.

because your advertising your car for sale its supposed to be roadworthy approved so that all the mods done on it are legit as you can't sell a registered car without a roadworthy certificate.

Man thats harsh.

Yeah a letter to Qld Transport will do nothing and even if u sent a letter to the POPO they wont withdraw it cuz it will go back to the original issuer who would not have changed his mind.

Its the old ignorance of the law is no defense blah blah blah

Chin up and best of luck with the sale (Put the price up 500 lol)

Thats kinda ridiculous :D ... i never knew about this.. then again i haven't had to sell a car yet... its good to know though..

my mate has his phone number just on the back of the car... (he'd get random texts like.. "if your as good looking as your car, text back" hahah ^_^) he'd be spewing if he got a $500 fine..

i really doubt that excuse would hold up if you got fined unless you can prove it with a previous case or it's legislated somewhere

it is as my mate got done an his misses works for something and they deal with it all day and he got of it for there car they were selling as it was a coupe and there is something that excludes them form displaying but you still have to have in the car

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
