If you contest a fine (speeding, accident, hooning, etc) in court and lose the case, it will go down on your criminal record. Thus everytime I get fined I cough up the coin and never contest.

Not so.

I've contested numerous fines and traffic offenses.

Having a "Criminal Record" means you have been convicted of a crime. Not an offense against the road traffic act. (someone with a better understanding law might be able to phrase this better than myself)

Hmm I see. Did you lose a few of those cases?I'm just going off what an older officer I know told me. He's been in the force pretty much most of his life, so I'm just saying what he told me. :S If anyone else 'knows someone' maybe we could get a second opinion on it.

i had some 1 call the police about me goin around my local area with the bov goin of in my old s15 silvia an the cops ended up comin around an wanted 2 put a yellow sticker on it 4 not having a plumb back lucky the car was in my yard an i told them 2 get of my yard an 2 get a warrent 2 check my car coz its on my property so the left an never heard from them again :P but that was last july porbally dont want 2 try it now coz there gettin more harsh.

The cop is full of crap like 95% of them are... so you fight a speeding fine in court and they say you have to pay it and now you can not get a job cause you have a speeding ticket... umm i dont think so.

Ok ppl pipe down ok, and get ur facts straight.... No i am not gonna get a criminal record.. don' be stupid. Dangerous driving is not worse that wrekless...

Take in mind im not on p's and this is my first time in court

Wreckless - The courts must give 6months suspenstion

Dangerous - Up to judge could be 3months or just a fine

OK ppl thats wat it is.

So yes opions welcome but calm down. Im not saying im inocent. But, Im guessin not one person on this forum can say they have neva done a burnout. I know i have done wrong and yes i got caught, so i will have some sort of fine. The only thing i was saying is, thinking of the upside, i didn't do it on the road, i was only endagering my self, coz there was nobody around. THATS why the lawyer said he believes ive been wrongly charged.

good luck in the case an i dont think u can do that douple or nothink thing wen u get caught by hoon law is this gonna affect ur job

yeh its gonna make it hard to get to work, but not imposible. Plus its only nightfill soo can always change my job :P;)

I can say ive never done a burnout =]

Lost them all :devil:

Being found guilty of an offense in a court is exactly the same as paying the fine when it arrives in the mail (admitting guilt) - No criminal record either way.

Sometimes paying the $60 court costs (as I lost) just to have your case heard is worth it :P

ive never done a burnout or skid either :devil:

The police will try pin anything on anyone if the give the slightest admittance of guilt.

1st time I got pulled over, I had a Sgt yell in my face at 5.20pm trying to get me to confess to doing a burnout that happened at 6.00am (when that day I woke up at 7.00am to go to tafe at 7.45am) when I denied it the first time, he said that "all these people witnessed it" pointing to the road crew, I told him I didn't know what he was talking about. He searched to car bumper to bumper and found nothing wrong with it.

When I went to leave he did the whole macho cop thing saying that I was on "the list" now, and that anytime a cop saw me or my car they would pull it over and search it.

What a load of crap that was,

i do have my facts straight.

dangerous driving is worse, u can lose ur license for up to 12months and fined up to 2k & it goes on ur criminal record.

True with dangerous if the judge is nice, he can let u off without loss of licence and a minimum of $6## fine and u have to pay $200 court costs.

wreckless is lose licence and fine.

u decide which is worse, i'd rather not have a criminal record.

been there done that

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
