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

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      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..
