A few weeks ago I got my Licence Renewal and about a week after that I logged into my internet banking and paid it... ...Come to Monday just gone and I get pulled over for what I believe was not giving way to a police car who was doing a U-turn in front of me where I was coming out of a side street and doing a left turn... ...As far as I know I have the right of way in that situation... ...He didn't have his lights on and had to slam his breaks on to avoid hitting me... ...Crises everted and I drive on... ...About 300m down the road his lights come on and I have to drive a bit of a way to get past some parked cars and a bus and he hits the noise too...

Now I think this was my one and only mistake here because when he asked me if I knew why he stopped me I said, "Because you failed to give way while doing a U-turn and have stopped me to apologise to me?"...

He didn't say anything and just asked for my licence... ...I gave it to him and he pointed to the date... ...which was about 7 days past it's expiry... ...So I pull out the renewal form which I wrote down the Bpay code on but forgot to put down the date I paid it... ...And he said that it isn't acceptable and when back to his car for a bit and then told me that I don't have a licence... ...And so today I get the Infringement Notice in the mail...

Now my question is... ...Has anyone ever had trouble with Bpay and VicRoads, or the Police, when it comes to Licence Renewal???...

Mate this tpye of thing happens quite often generally with registrations that are paid on expiriy date. I pull over lots of cars that come up unregistered and they have paid rego by b-pay and obviously vic roads have not processed it. I would also issue fine in that and this case and I just explain to send in copy of renewal, b-pay receipt details to civic compliance on stat dec and fine will be withdrawn.

That way I am covered because records show unreg/unlic and as long as rego/lic paid then easy enough for fine to get withdrawn.

just take it up with vicroads mate. get in contact with them or just go down there and tell them what has happened. i'm pretty sure they should work it out and then you or they could fix up the thing with the infringement. i just paid for my full license through bpay and it went through all good.

    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
