Yes you read right, got a fine and want to get out of it, has anyone done it?

Dont want to hear from people who just want to tell me that i got the fine and now i should live with it, its not that simple in this case (happy to pay the points are the issue).

Also when i got this i was on a 1 point probation, now im off that will the points be back dated and i lose my license if i pay the fine?

If you are on the photo (go down toe civic compliance and see the photo), then you are well... stuffed.

That is why they take photo's as evidence. The only way your are going to get off is if the photo is a bit ambiguous and you can't clearly see your number plate.

I believe the points will date back, and VicRoads will send you a letter

Unfortunately being a truck driver means that i cant afford to have the points taken off see im seeking out other ways, there are websites around that tell you how to do it but dont know any one who has used these successfully.

Only other option is to sign them over to someone else but since it was in a truck does the other person need a truck license, on the fine it says it was in a "vechile other than a heavy vehicle".

What do you mean get around it? You were busted red handed - there is no such "getting around" anything.

You could pass them off onto someone else i guess, illegal however. And i would imagine they would need a truck license as whoever re-processes the form is likely to check (i would imagine).

i tried to get out of a red light fine. even went down and saw the pics of the car going through the lights. they also sent me this other thing which was at least 2 pages long shows 3 pics of my car in different stages from when then lights turned red and at what second i went through it. its hard getting out of man.

think i have it some where. if i find it ill scan it and put it up for ya

If the offence was in a truck then using someone who doesnt have a truck licence may result in them receiving an unlicenced driving sting.

I'm a truck driver also and I have an old guy at work with a HC that doesnt drive anymore that sells them off for a gorilla a piece. Cheap price if the alternative is no work for a month or two....or twelve.

I'd be offering someone at your workplace a bucket of cash for some points.

At worst you can apply to vic roads to be allowed to drive during working hours if you can prove that you will lose your job if you can not drive, willing to pay someone to take them but not for 1k each.

Ok well when i was a little younger, dumber... i got a fine which consisted of 12 month suspension 8 demerits 500 fine etc.... 156 kmph on western ring... neway i got out of it :D

How?

well 1.. lucky to be a photo from behind so they dident see me..

2. dads misses has a medical condition

3. dad sent letters in saying shes psycotic bla bla sent in docters certs and letters from her docter (this docter helped us out)

now they dident care.... they sent bak the infringment notice again and again so my dad craked it sent bak 1 hell of a letter and they neva sent one bak again

Saved my licence :) and for all thoes saying WARE UR PENALTY you cant get out of it in your face :) i got out of it :)

I challenged one in court, was on the edge of the line, in traffic inside the intersection, the argument that I entered on a green light was not good enough.

I got no demerit points after taking it to court but got the fine.

That was ONLY because I had no previous fines, its going to be tough to get out of losing the points :)

hmm is vehicle registered to work?

If so how well do you get along with mgmt?

*could it be that*Company owned vehicles might have so many different drivers that its really impossible to tell who was driving at the time? And can pay an additional payment as well as fine to not nominate driver. To date I am not aware of actual driver logs being cross referenced afaik provided the bastards get their money the rest is who cares.

They normally ask me who i want to sign it over to before they do it but it was a new chick that signed it over, the boss him self is an arse hole and wouldnt go through any extra shit for his drivers.

Its also a company vehicle that is registered in a different company's name.

Also this fine is from december but they have only just signed it over to me last week.

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
