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and I just explain to send in copy of renewal, b-pay receipt details to civic compliance on stat dec and fine will be withdrawn.

That way I am covered because records show unreg/unlic and as long as rego/lic paid then easy enough for fine to get withdrawn.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

    • Thanks heaps Duncan and GTSBoy. I'll get my old man to sit in the driver's seat and turn it on and off while I test with the meter. Or maybe other way round, depending on whether he remembers where his glasses got to
    • This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.
    • Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed
    • All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible  
    • Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.
