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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
