mate there are plenty of opportunities to take your car out on the track if you want to give her a boot - a good session will cost you less than the speeding ticket, and all you need is a helmet (i think you can borrow from qr), long pants and a good attitude :(

Unfortunately the days of getting out of a ticket due to officers faults are long gone! I remember mum telling me how she used to get dad and my cousin many moons ago off of speeding tickets etc because one little detail was wrong like a number, address or type of car.

These days officers dont have to get your details 100% which is just crazy! If they cant copy your licence how can they be sure they have gotten you speeding under the correct guidlines and operating proceedures.

I had a parking ticket once which i challanged, because the distance i was parked away from the corner was 3 inches too many, the officer was gone and i didnt have a tape measure!!! My old car was a green vrx lancer 01.VRX sedan and they wrote down a black coupe with VRX.01! Couldnt get much wrong than that!

My friend is an officer and they have to go through so many tests, fitness, typing lol lol, swimming, mental evaluation yet they dont get tested on how to copy down a licence!

:down:

well i successfully got out of a ticket about 4 years ago

he filled my name out wrong, wrong car color wrong rego number, wrong date, wrong street, didnt write the speed / points deduction (when i rang the station he then increased my speed by another 5k's an hour) asked to speak to his superior, informed him how unprofessional the police officer was and that he failed to follow even the slightest bit of police protocol (refused to show me the speed gun with my speed on it) cops says ill cancel the ticket, the officer will be reprimanded for it..

maybe i was just lucky tho

are you sure the ticket was for you...?

maybe you just randomly picked up somebody else's ticket...

i think it may have been easier just to list the things he got right

^^ lol yeah it was for me, i was heading toward him, he went past me, did a u-bolt and he pulled me over..

the only things he got right was the time of infringement and the make of my car.. + also his name..

he was such a kent about it, asked to see the speed read out, he refused so i copped it on the chin, rang his station to speak to someone in charge.. the prick who gave me the ticked was put on the phone and he says to me, oh yeah i got your speed reading wrong u were actually doing 5km's more than i said. I said to him, mate you just can't change it now, put your senior officer on.. explained it to him, he said mate ill cancel the ticket and ill reprimand the officer who gave it to you..

booyah

That's really good as it sounds like that particular cop was out for you for no real reason. Generally the coppers are good blokes but there are the tossers amongst them. My brother in law is actually a police officer and he says there are some serious tools in the force but at least in general their pretty good

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
