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

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
