Back in the day, you can drive a manual car with an Auto license as long as you're a full.................but that got change also a while ago (god i'm an old kunt) so basically if you've got your Auto license after the year 19something then you can't drive a manual vehicle.

Then you can fight it then.

Sitting in the seat doesnt mean a lot

Course it does. It's intention to drive the vehicle. Same thing when you are tanked up on alcohol. If you are sitting in the drivers seat you can get done for drink driving

Only if the keys are in the ignition - proving intent :D

Sleeping in your car drunk with the keys in the glovebox or something does not show intent.

It's still arguable in a court of law is the point.

Intersting... I had no idea they changed the rules. Lucky I got my manual licence when I was learning :D

That's true but the police would have used their own judgment. A guy that is alone with a girl, who is too youg to even have her licence. I don't think they had a doubt in their mind who drove the car there.

on topic.. i would fight it, as implausible as it sounds you may have just been waiting near/in the car for a friend

no use giving in when they don't have the smoking gun so to speak

Look - you know more about the situation, and with every post a bit more info comes out.

How is anyone going to give solid advice if it's taken nearly 2 pages to get the facts?

Not true. The automatic condition is not there when you get a full license.

yeah im old too. I remember when you got an auto lic you could only drive an auto vehicle. Not sure where it stands now, but I think if you have an auto lic unless you pass a manual lic test you shouldnt be able to drive a manual.

Its a very different way of driving and some extra skill is really required.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
