I would have thought that with a person in the car and the engine running (was it?), you'd have been standing rather than double parked... probably doesn't make a difference though

If you decide to contest this, you may very well get off.

There's the case where a person got booked for double-parking whilst contending with a bee + bee-sting > Got Off

There's the case of a Harley Rider who stopped for a red light behind a bus, but then rear-ended it due to a climax > Got Off

Then I got off with a caution after writing a letter saying that I had overstayed the 2Hr limit because I was consulted by the wife of an aircraft accident victim where her husband was killed.

Now if you bring the puke in a bag to court or write a letter quickly, you might get off.

But even if you win via a day in court it may now be worth the time or the money. This is called a 'Phyrric Victory' :down: It !

I can't feel sorry for him here. If you know the area and I do as I work there there is a Major problem with people "Double Parking" along Kingsway. Everytime I drive through there we tell at least 3-4 people double parked to move along as the whole street practically comes to standstill due to this.

I have only issued a couple of fines for this as the people were out of the car collecting their take away. Even had one person in unregistered car doing this. I was nice and warned him for double parking as he got a $584 fine for unregistered instead.

...not to mention that double-parking can be a catalyst that leads to an accident - not just an annoyance imho

Yay, i've just paid the fine. Now i can get it off my chest, and ride my bicycle more.

And i dont think it was worth contesting anyway. I'm so busy in school these days. Foundation isn't hard, just tedious.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
