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

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
