I have no sympathy (except for the people who the fine was issued too incorrectly for and have been trying to get it sorted out)

This is literally the very last action the sheriff takes trying to recover the money. In some (probably most) cases the fines are older than 12 months and probably $1000 (I stand to be corrected on that though)

The sheriff sends letters of demand, comes to your house and gives you every possible chance to pay the fine......hell they even have payment plans!...this is AFTER the original supplier of the bill has tried all their possible means as well.

This is very true. If you can't afford to pay the fines immediately you can negotiate a payment plan with them, you can even get the fine and penalties reduced.

I recall a case where one of our clients had $20,000+ in outstanding fines, while he was at our office getting advice on what his options were in relation to these fines he parked in a loading zone... and received a fine. :D :D

Stand corrected then Rossco.

The Sherriff clamped my car many many years ago for... $175 fine... a fine i didn't even know about because council was too lazy to recheck my address.

Just spoke to a mate who is part of the operation at the moment. He drives one of those camry's daily but it doesnt have the camera in it.

Tell your mate to pass some feedback to the council he works for.

Feedback is:

They are a pack of money grabbing cvnts.

When you have Stonnington parking inspectors giving our fines @ 1:27am in the morning, it is a fken joke.

(fine was for parking on the nature strip, something you can do in other councils without any issue)

He is fully aware that what he has to do sometimes causes people to get sh!tty. As for minor things where adresses have been changed etc I believe that is just bad luck.

I think we are all fully aware that the council just love dishing out crud like that. That situation about parking fines at 1am is ridiculous. I feel bad for the person on the recieving end of the fine, and also for the sheriff that gets sent around to collect it after the recipient refuses to pay. Just a vicious cycle, caused by the council being unreasonable.

I was at Chaddy today and they are swarming the joint. I was down near Safeway and they had the Blue van and stack of Cars.. Also had on display a wheel and clamp. Media were also interviewing the Sheriff ppl...

If you have fines that you rightly earned by infringing the law seraphyn, i don't see why you should be allowed to evade the law to the point of a clamp being necessary. You know you have the fine. Go on a payment plan if its too hefty. you dont ignore it and go shopping.

I'll be in chaddy on the weekend...clean and fine free :P no boot for me!

Stonnington and City of Melbourne, Port Phillip are all the same. They probably bring in the highest amount of income of any Victoria municipality but they are still the greediest when it comes to traffic fines.

Parking on nature strips is technically an offence in all councils, but I don't know of many others that actually bother fining for it unless they get a complaint from residents.

Ill be in chaddy xmas shopping this weekend too kamikaze, and like you im also totally fine free.

Im not a city native, ive only been living in the city for around a year, where im from even parking in the CBD is free, so im just not one to agree with the amount of laws and rules there are in Melbourne to penalise people in regards to things as inane and un-important as parking (within reason of course). Disagree if you will, but its simply my opinion.

If i was one to have quite a bit outstanding, i would be smart and not take the offending vehicle to places where it could be detained.

It's getting too much...Australia's roads are becoming like prisons. I mean, enough is enough...you can't drive a sports car around and feel safe anymore...makes you go paranoid!

Dude, its not rocket science. Don't break the pretty (mostly)simple laws, don't get fines. Get fines, pay them(if you can't, get a payment plan), Don't pay the fines, get clamped.

cheriffs were at the pines shopping center just before. made a quick dash from home to get some money out, no seat belt on and no p's at the back lol shat myself

First Rye, now this post, I wonder what next...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
