i just got a speeding ticket and im not 2 happy because im 95% shore that i was doing the speed limit as i passed the speed camera and if i was speeding it would have only been 1-2km/h over. but on the letter i got it says that i was doing 67km/h its only $75 but im still thinking of fighting it.

i would like to know what info i need to fight this in court what type of fees are associated with going to court. and also do i need a lawyer and the cost of that.

also i was changing lains when i got picked up could this effect the reading

any help is greatly appreciated.

and i have searched the forum and i didn't find anything relevant to me

Feel free to fight it. It will cost you too much time, money and effort to win.

If your wheels are bigger than stock or have a different diff. Your speedo could be out. So if you were doing 63km/h and ur speedo is 5% out, then you would really be doing 66.1. Which is pretty close to 67. So its ur call.

$75 no points - big deal.

If there is another vehicle visible in the photo, send it back, if you're the only visible vehicle, just pay it.

You can fork out $xxx to take it to court, and fight it, and sure, maybe you'll win, the WA police will withdraw the fine and cover your legal fees and costs for going to court...that leaves you with the initial consultation with a lawyer...which is alot more than $75.00.

Check the speed limit for that area, and see if there's another vehicle, otherwise just win the battle now and pay the fine.

im fighting because i have been booked incorrectly and if ppl dont stand up 4 them selves then the gov can continue 2 f*** every day drivers like u and me.

and my speedo is not out if any thing it reads higher than what im doing. (i know because i have gone through speed cameras b4 with no problem and also cross referenced with GPS)

just found out about legal aid has any one had any experience with them i might call them 2moro

First step would be to look at the photo, and if you are changing lanes like you said it has been proven that changing lanes at the time does give an incorrect reading. If you are moving closer to the camera it increases the speed & vice versa.

But it in that situation & with no demerits involved if I was you I would only fight it if there is something showing up in the photo (another car within shot or changing lanes), and even then I'd only do it by getting in touch with the issuing officer (to do with speed camera fines, the name on the fine)

have to agree with the rest, if you didn't get any points then like every body else stated its just cheaper paying the fine.. you can go and fight it but will just end up costing more in the long run

Pay the fine and get over it

They have proof you were speeding whereas you have no way to prove that you weren't.

You may have thought you were only 1-2kms over but just a twitch of the throttle on a Skyline will have you increasing by 4kph without knowing it. I know you feel aggrieved but chances are 99% that you were speeding. They normally knock off a few kms so chances are you may have been doing more than they claim

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
