pulled into coles/safeway carpark today and was confronted by the sheriff

i was in my girlfreinds car which aparently had $1650 in unpaid citylink fines

the thing is there was a glitch in the system and the fines were never received in the mail

they wanted to tow the car on the spot, and she never even knew of the fines.

it is all from 7 trips on citylink over a 2 month span

just a warning... they are checking all rego's in the carpark

lol if you dont have unpaid fines etc then it doesn't matter does it? :D

I had a similar issue actually myself from civic compliance many years ago, stuffed if i know where they were sending the notices but i missed a few and they added up with all the stupid fee's and so on.

I know how ya feel :D

that's kinda my point ash, we weren't aware of the unpaid fines, they were from 07 and no notices were ever received....

and now they want hardcore coin.... due to their error... obviously we are fighting it

I dislike this general area. It's the biggest mess of parking signs and meters. Half of it can be parked in and the other half needs a ticket. Narrow one way exists. It's one of the shadiest spots to park your car at night time. Always full of twits just loitering in the carpark with sound systems turned up. And I've seen the TMU there going around checking cars on more than one occasion.

I saw cops going over a Skyline there the other night. It was an R32 with a 34 front end. Police asked for engineering certificates. The guy showed them. I actually think he got away without a fine.

So many hoons around there though, so no wonder it's a hot-spot for police.

There's these guys with the plates "DUBAI-1" "DUBAI-2" etc. all the way up to "DUBAI-9"

I see them burning rubber every time I go there.

Broadmeadows is harsh, They blocked of pacoe road with TMU, highway patrol cars and all within 5meters away thers a BLUE mercedes VAN unmarcked in FBI blue, which has a camera and when your car comes past it automatically scans it and checks your rego/unpaid fines and all, and they pull you over and inspect your car for yellow canaries!! theres undercover cop cars all over this northern area mainly broady!! so becareful guys!!! they are heavily strict!!!!! last week broady pulled over 2000cars in 2 days!

I've got a Dubai 9 in my carpark lol!

I saw Dubai 6 at uni today

Really?

Personally I've only seen 3 of the DUBAIs (2 newish Commodores and one brand new Mercedes) but my friend assures me that they own every plate. :)

yeah man, It was just an old Vt commodore tho. I think Dubai 1 is a yellow monaro if im not mistaken, saw it on chapel street a long time ago

DUBAI2 is a red VY SS. That's the only one I can fully remember. :P I'm never sober when I see them on Chapel St.

Everyone knows not to go to chaps, especially on friday and saturday nights lol

I hate the area, too many drunks and fights

I know what you mean.

That night we were there JD my friend had her car (and about 4 others nearby) broken into. They just smashed a window grabbed what they could and fled. Was parked in a backstreet just off Chapel.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
