The police do not send out warnings in the mail dude.... It's a fine. And I'd be contesting it too but only IF you were not driving the car and they didn't see you drive. If it was just there and you were just leaning on it as you said then contest it. If you have not given all the facts here and there is a possibility of you being seen driving (your word against theirs as they don't take photos while driving) then wear the fine dude.

hahaha reminds me of the good old days when all you got for driving a highpowered car was $109 no points

got to the stage where the cops said they would arrest me for repeat offending HAHAHAHA

The answer to my question is here. Just received the fine in the mail.

$117 fine. No demerits lost.

I'm a very relieved boy :D

What is the wording on the notice out of interest?

What is the wording on the notice out of interest?

Something along the lines of "breaching conditions on license"

I guess it's the same as someone breaching medical conditions on their license (i.e. some people have to wear glasses at night).

"A" (auto) is considered a "condition" :) Funny system really.

And eMsta, it wasn't a pointless thread. I wanted to know what I was potentially up for. If it was bad then it might have caused me to sell the car or something.

Now for future reference people will know what to expect :D

why buy a manual car if you have auto licence in fisrt place?

do the test first then buy it

lets say it was bad and you did have to sell car, waste of lots of time and money

cause i highly doubt you will get back what you payed for it

I bought the car to learn in.

Unfortunately no one in my family can drive manual so I'm teaching myself :)

But yeah, got it mastered now so just gotta book in for the test.

Will keep it short as on iPhone nismoid correct unless police actually saw you drive then no offence can be prooved, I doubt fine will be issued unless more to this. Also full lic can drive manual even if only had auto to start with. As to drink driving need more than keys in ignition to proove, I had one recently that was blind drunk passed out at wheel at intersection car running in turning lane with car in gear and indicator on and he got off. Sums up the stupid court system and why crime on the rise

WTF?!? :D Sounds like the courts only get off their lazy a$$ when theres a death or damage to property involved :)

The courts and sometimes the police. Don't bother filling out a hit and run accident report unless you are injured or someone died, they just don't care.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
